Cardinal Spirits is a great hang out spot for a well-crafted cocktail and a small bite. The servers are very knowledgeable about the difference flavor profiles of their homemade spirits and l liked that they would let you taste whatever you wanted before you ordered it. I had a old fashioned and my husband the Space Cowboy and Paper Plane cocktails. We shared the Burata/salad small plate. I think this place is more if you want a small bite along with your cocktail, since the plates are on the pricey side (good tasting though). Also, we purchased a bottle of their bourbon for a friend we were visiting (which we got a small discount on since we dined there). The only thing I did not like was the fact that they automatically charge a 20% tip. The server did tell us about this while we were ordering, however I typically do not tip 20% (even for great service) on a $15 cocktail. I would have tipped nicely without a mandatory tip, and didn't think that was necessary.

Good drinks with good light fare. Their cocktails are the real highlight and the space is nice.

I went here for the first time with a friend last week for dinner drinks. Despite an extremely limited menu, the food was fine the cocktails were interesting. However, what would have been an acceptable, if not extraordinary, experience was ruined when we were each paying our bills. I had already signed mine added a 20+ tip when my friend said, Oh my gosh: They 've already added a 20 tip to our bills! I was furious! I have been in other restaurants where a gratuity was added ahead of time, even for individual diners, but the server always points it out when presenting the check. It is disgustingly unprofessional sleezy to try to trick guests into tipping on top of a 20 tip. This may not seem like a big deal to some folks, but it is to me. I will not be returning!

Had a VIP tour from Nan and it was amazing! She was such an incredible guide and we learnt a lot tasting all the different drinks. We also got food afterwards which was delicious. Amazing time all around! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
