The new space is much larger, and feels much higher end. Especially the bar, looks more like a Toronto or NYC cocktail bar than anything that previously existed in KW.
The old space was so warm and cozy. I only looked through the door because it was busy during Cruising on King, but the new space seemed less so, would you agree?
The vibe is definitely a little different, but I'd still call the new space warm. It just adds things like an open kitchen, much better lounge seating, a much larger bar, etc. It feels more designed, less thrown together from what was around, but I don't think that's inherently not warm.
It is definitely less cramped than the old space, and I guess one might call that less cozy? But I think the ability to have proper bar seating, without the wait staff constantly squeezing by, is an upgrade.
