“AMAZING food! Hidden gem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our waitress Tam was fantastic! She was fun/funny and prompt! All the other staff were all smiling too! The place was busy and it still was not much of a wait on our delicious breakfast. Can’t wait to try out the lunch menu… preferably when they’re having gyros for a special.. but don’t ask Tam… she’s the owner and doesn’t know what’s going on!😂 We’ll definitely be back!❤️“

“Everything we ordered was off the happy hour placard. Chicken wonton tacos were delicious. Buffalo boneless wings were heavy on the sauce. Spinach artichoke dip was good. Just didn't need to have ordered that. The berry long Island ice tea was good once stirred, but the mucho tipsy zombie looking innviting but was disappointing. Very, very sweet“

“We used POUR Wine and Bistro for our rehearsal dinner and we were very pleased! We have been going here for years and can’t recommend them enough. Unique food and drinks, avocado wontons and the filet mignon with cheesy potatoes is my must haves. I love that when you are done eating you can bop across the street to the POUR Cocktail Bar for drinks and good conversation! We love POUR and we will always recommend.“

“Wild turkey omelet with cranberry toast never disappoints! ♥️♥️♥️“

“We could not have asked for a better venue & team to hold our wedding! Both Megan and Alyna were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to help make our brunch wedding dreams a success. From the first meeting with Megan, to our big day coordinated by Alyna, no question or request was ignored. Every detail was fulfilled with elegance, even the waffle bar set up at our reception was designed to go along with our brunch disco theme. Pricing was incredibly reasonable & transparent with no surprise fees and every part of our day was customizable! We were able to have our pup onsite for our outdoor courtyard ceremony, which was super important to us. The food for both our rehearsal dinner (pasta bar) and our reception (waffle bar) was amazing. We have gotten so many compliments on the quality and how it was served for our guests, allowing for all dietary needs to be accommodated with delicious options. The other really big selling point for us was the built in day-of coordinator. Unlike some venues whose coordinator works for only the venue's needs, Alyna coordinated everything! Our bridal party and family, our other vendors, our timeline, even setup and strike were completed by her team. Alyna made sure every moment of our day was smooth and stress-free, allowing us to really enjoy our big day and be present in the moment! We cannot thank you enough, Alyna!!! -The Midthuns“

“We reserved a party room for a small business event. Deb was very easy to work with and Michelle was helpful when I had questions and Deb wasn't available. Their rates were incredibly reasonable. The flexibility was hard to beat! When we arrived, Mike and Deb were great about making sure we had what we needed. We had 2 servers- mine was Emily and she was very on top of things. The food was good and the drinks were good- I heard no complaints from any of our guests about the food, drinks or service. Kudos to the kitchen for pace and standard. Also, the room afforded a lot of space and a great deal of privacy from the rest of the bar which was perfect for us. Overall, I wish every venue was as great as this one! Thanks Liberty crew!“
