    “Really friendly inviting bar/restaurant. Went to south kitchen for drink and short order meal. First I wish I could remember our server’s name because she was so good and accommodating. Anyway, fun bar atmosphere and pretty good menus. Burgers were good. I got salad with crab cake on top and it was great. I’m not a fan of tater tots but they cook them in duck fat and they were super. All in all nice place and reasonably priced Updated four years later. South kitchen has been updated and new chief. Was good before better now”

    “Absolutely magical spot! The cocktails are well crafted and balanced just right, including the traditional ones, such as Sazerac, Brumble, or Gin Martini . Bartenders are personable and friendly, and the atmosphere is top notch. Certainly gives out the vibes and feels of Edward Hopper’s “NightHawks” painting. And best of all, drinks are not overpriced for their quality and taste. Top notch spot for a date or a treat!”

Everything was so tasty, nothing felt one note. Our server was very friendly, helped us with some questions about the menu. Despite fast pace, we did not have to wave anyone down, and everyone was eager to help. Will be coming back ASAP!!”

    “I wish I had a pic of the mussels but we dug in before I had a chance. Perfectly cooked in a delicious sauce with just enough kick. My husband declared the duck the “best I’ve ever had”. My mushroom pasta was al dente with a cream sauce that was rich but not too heavy. Our son’s tagliatelle was delicious. Ending the meal with homemade tiramisu cutely adorned with the name of the restaurant. Pics do not do it justice because they have a romantic dimly lit vibe. Highly recommend reservations. When I called to adjust mine due to flight delay they were kindly accommodating. Nice outdoor patio and bar.”

They have great variety and curated wine list. I was disappointed with the flavors and portion size (i get that its tapas) based on the prices they charge. They gave our food to the wrong table but acknowledged their mistake and got us the order quickly! Great customer service!”
