The atmosphere is like an elevated dining experience with the decorations and with a Latin theme. We started off with the corn dip, which is very good. My wife got the shrimp quesadilla and she loved it. I got the chicken and steak fajitas and I use some of the corn dip to make my tacos. Wow the flavors melted together extremely well. All in all a great dining experience.“

Great Rum Selection

“If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great drinks and a vintage vibe, this bar is a must-visit. The Chimney Sweep and Lion’s Tail cocktails are standouts, and the bartender was friendly and efficient, getting our drinks to us in no time. The atmosphere is a throwback to the 1930s, with old-school decor and soft lighting that creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxed evening out.

Prices are on the higher side, with regular cocktails priced around $15 each, and reserve cocktails running at $30. For two drinks, expect to spend at least $50, but the quality of the drinks and the overall experience make it worth the splurge.“

“So my experience at City Pork on Highland was amazing. The interior was clean and modern. I believe our servers name was Aisha, and I was honestly having a bad day and she made me feel so much better with her kindness and hospitality. My meal was the Pork Belly Hoagie and I would rate that an 8.5/10. I think if it had some pickled onions on it to balance the richness from the pork belly, it would be even more amazing. Although it did come with a pickle, but I didn’t really care for that, it was too sweet for my liking so I give that a 4/10. I also had a side of coleslaw, and it had this peppery taste, which I actually enjoyed, while it was still sweet (but not too sweet) and crunchy. I’ll give that a 7.5/10. My husband got the smoked chicken and he would give that a 9.5/10, because he wanted even more because it was so good.“

But she brought the wrong orders twice and was just kinda spaced out. Anyways we still had a great time.“
