“We hosted our daughter's confirmation party/dinner here and let me just say, the quality of service began 2 weeks ago when I called to check for availability. Chris was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was more than accommodative to all our requests and made it feel casual that it took the worry out of organizing an event. We were a party of 25. Chris called the day of, to confirm our reservation. We got delayed an hour after the ceremony so I called them and they told us to take our time and that everything was set for us. I even called them 15mins before the crowd got there to put some appetizers in which they took care of seamlessly. Christine was well informed of our party and handled it smoothly. Stan was amazing. He came up to us in the beginning and advised of the modified order. He split the appetizers evenly among the three tables and even downsized some of the orders for us. Nancy was our waitress and she was an absolute machine, never missing a beat, constantly smiling and incredibly successful looking after our entire party. We ordered the flatbreads, garlic cheese bread, pan fried risotto balls and a few Cesar salads for appetizers for each of the tables. The food was top notch, on par with the service. Everyone ordered their own meals and the drinks were excellent too. I ordered the New York strip, medium rare, and the accompanying bacon and onion chutney was a fantastic pairing. I had a salute75 which was one of the best gin martinis I've tried in a very long time, followed by an old fashioned and finished with an Irish coffee. Nancy was always open to requests taking photos and Christine even took a photo of the whole group at the end standing by the Salute wall. We were genuinely looked after like family. It's a modern look inside with a view of the kitchen, not particularly luxurious but simple and elegant with good lighting. Highly recommend this place and we'll definitely be going back. Great job Chris, Christine, Stan and Nancy and kudos to the Salute team working in the background to make this place the best meal and service package experience.“

“My wife and I had our first dinner at Vinted Wine Bar tonight. My wife has had a good amount of experience at Vinted, but it was my first time there. Top to bottom... TRULY EXCELLENT!! We shared a nice bottle of Daou Cab while sitting at the bar, and started with the Whipped Hummus, with Crispy Scallion Cake. Best Hummus you'll ever eat, and the warm crispy thin cake slices are very delicious with the Hummus. Terrific! Then we split and shared 2 entrees: The Chicken Milanese, and the Vinted Prime Burger. Both, also super delicious. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared by the talented crew in the kitchen lead by the executive chef, and partner, Mike Voight. Ate every bite of everything. Lastly, for desert we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. Holy cow, that is one incredible desert. Our bartender Chris was very helpful, friendly, and although busy had time to talk with us. And we found all the staff, extremely personable. Mike has a finely tuned ship in Vinted. We'll be back. #impressed“

Tri-It Taproom Brewery • $$

“What a cool spot!! Slightly difficult to spot, don't overlook this really special spot!! The owners are on site and welcoming to all that stop by. There is a self serve beer, wine and cider wall - seriously!! The charge is by the ounce, so try a taste and see what you like! The system includes getting a personalized card that allows you to "self serve" their amazing brews. The food is also super - I tried one of the flat breads and wasn't disappointed. They were accommodating to a group of about 12 visiting - reserved some tables pushed together for our use and gave us great service. Yes! They did separate checks for everyone because you order using a QR code and pay on the app. They then deliver it to you at the table! Thank you!“

The shrimp scampi had the most juicy and flavorful shrimp I’ve ever had. The bread and clam chowder were great. We got a massive salad with our entree and they sent us home with a fruit basket!! Our server was friendly and the service was at a great pace. The atmosphere had very cozy vibes. This will be our go-to seafood spot and could be yours too!“

“French restaurant in a chic space where there are both no reservations and no cash accepted The menu is kind of strange, as it is comprised of a few different variations of a few eclectic options. For example, you could order one of three variations of their stews, flatbreads, or grilled cheeses, or you could also order a whole roast chicken. The service was a little slow, but the servers were very friendly A little on the pricer side My dad and I ordered a flatbread and a sandwhich. It was all solid, but nothing blew us away“

Dylan was extremely kind and helpful when I called to inquire about seating, making a reservation (they don't - it's a waitlist system)... our server Lauren was awesome! She was patient (we had a million questions) and made wonderful suggestions. Super helpful considering we were first timers... and the food! Everything we ordered was delicious! The mushroom dumplings, general tso's shrimp, the ramen were all fabulous, fresh and full of flavor. I had the ground chicken seasonal special and am absolutely going back before the season changes to have it again. I highly recommend this place.“

“My first visit to this restaurant was a delightful surprise orchestrated by my husband for my birthday. We were seated upstairs, but upon exploring downstairs to the tavern area, we immediately decided that our next visit would definitely be spent there. Recently, I organized a girls' night out and made a reservation for the tavern, and it exceeded all expectations.The evening kicked off with a perfectly crafted dirty martini that set the tone for what was to come. The wine selection by the glass offered an array of choices, which was greatly appreciated. Our meal selections were varied yet equally impressive: I opted for the salmon with risotto, Rachel savored their chicken dish, Danielle indulged in the burger, while Dev enjoyed the flatbread. Our appetizer of Brussels sprouts was nothing short of exquisite.Throughout the evening, our waiter provided impeccable service, always anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. I couldn't help but express to him that if the restaurant were closer than 25 minutes away, it would undoubtedly become our regular haunt. He was consistently attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and always being a few steps ahead of us.Overall, our experience at this restaurant, particularly in the tavern, was nothing short of spectacular. From the drinks to the cuisine to the exceptional service, it left a lasting impression, making it a place we'll eagerly return to whenever the opportunity arises.“

“Overall, it was a solid dinner out. Started with a Caesar salad which was pretty standard. Had full anchovies on top, so if that's something that creeps you out, be sure to ask for it without. Dinner was good-- I thought the seafood pasta could have used a little more flavor but it was still really good. Good portion size. The desserts are what really impressed me. We split two different desserts-- coconut creme brûlée and profiteroles. Those were both so good!! I'm not a big wine person but they only had one Riesling, which I thought was a little sparse since it is a wine bar. The one they had was perfect though! So maybe they only need one... I would go back to eat here.... It was perfectly lovely for a night out.“
