As a sour dill pickle lover, I really loved the cucumber-flavor pickles. They are great for the burger -- adds even more flavor without overwhelming like some pickles can. The pickles taste how I imagine they would when only half through pickling process -- a combo of discernible cucumber with a mild dill flavor. Very nice. I was disappointed with the octopus. It was delicious and uber tender, but only one small tentacle -- not enough to share with anyone. My husband and I can share a meatball at most places but this tentacle was too small. The gnocchi that accompanied it could be a dish all its own. The gnocchi with the potato alone would make a great app. or entree. We were really impressed with the food and are looking forward to round 2.

Never Say Dive was on my list of places to try, so I decided to check them out during wing week…read more The wing flavor they were offering sounded tasty and they were offering a Baja blast margarita. I love a good dive bar, however Never Say Dive is a bit more elevated when it comes to the food choices. I really wanted to try the deviled eggs, but they were out. There definitely some other things that caught my eye, but decided on just the wings. It was later in the evening. I believe the server said they were gochujang, though the flavor was a bit different than the gochujang I'm used to. They definitely packed a kick of heat. Overall I enjoyed them. The margarita was just ok. Long story short, I would try it out again

The cocktails, especially considering that they are batched, were fantastic. Liminal garden was probably one of the most unique I've ever tasted, and my friends really enjoyed the berry jubilee and chase your peach.

Service was prompt and pleasant. A true neighborhood gem!

It's a very pretty patio with tables and umbrellas. It took our server quite a while to actually come and check on us, and they didn't come back frequently. We ended up ordering drinks. I got one of the cocktails on the menu, which was just OK. My girlfriend just ordered vodka and tonic and said it was fine. She ended up ordering a chicken sandwich and I had the meatballs. Both were average, but nothing to write home about. Because the service was just OK, and the food was the same, I don't think we will come back. There are so many other options in the area that appeal to us more. If you're just looking for a place to grab cocktails, I think this might be a nice place for you. And I'm sure service is better on other nights. Parking can be tough, but there's plenty of street parking nearby.

CLE's best kept secret!…read more A few of my friends raved about Smoke & Mirrors, so I finally checked it out. I stopped in during Stargazers Ball hosted by YoreCraeft Productions. It was a fun cosmic costume party at Smoke & Mirrors. Smoke & Mirrors delivers on their promise, there are mirror accents and intermittent smoke. They also have a lot of silver accents that have a cool juxtaposition with the cave look. You can find this nightclub underground at Clandestina on West 25th. Enter the club by going through mezcalería (Clandestina) and going downstairs. The club calls themselves "subterranean catacomb club." I'd describe it as a nightclub giving off speakeasy vibes with some exposed brick, cave vibes, and sultry red illumination. It's a very mysterious dungeon looking club. It's raw and unusual for the local nightclub scene in the very best of ways. The coolest space in this club is the once upon a time coal room that serves as a little private nook to sip your cocktails. The rest of the club has one dance floor, some comfy seats against the wall, and a small bar. It's very intimate. The club is mostly known for its EDM DJs. Don't expect big names but expect good music. You can find their lineup on their IG @smokeandmirrorscle. They're open on Thursdays for karaoke, and Saturdays for DJ and dancing. The party that I attended had a lot of dancing and good vibes. The club seems to have a cover charge, but the amount is not shared on their socials. The menu consists of cocktails, craft beer, and wine, which is a generous selection for a night club. There were some themed cocktails during my visit ranging from $8-$14. I certainly plan to stop by during a regular weekend night to check out the full experience and DJ's. You should too. If you drop in, stop Clandestina bathroom for a selfie with flattering light. Can't wait for my next visit!

I loved that you had the option to order off menu or just tell the bartender a liquor and a mood, and they would make you something! Food was all delish and a great spread. I hope they change these often to give folks reasons to come and try new things. Darker/romantic ambiance which I enjoyed but the big window up front made it very bright!
