    Espresso Martini (no baileys of course)
    Shaquille P.

    Very small but cute space, gave very nice speakeasy/lounge vibes. The drinks were well made and they came to our area very quickly. Would recommend going on a week night since the weekend tends to get very busy and the space is small, check them out!

    After getting rude service nearby, we stumbled upon this jem. Cute cozy spot with a speakeasy type of feel. We found a nice spot near the bar to accommodate our party of 5 on a Friday night. It was steady for a small spot and only two bartenders, but we were acknowledged in an appropriate amount of time. The Aviation was good, definitely a gin lovers drink and the Bee's Knees was a perfect mixture of sweet and sour. We then tried all three of the Dessert cocktails. All were made perfectly, but the Nutty Monkey really took the show. Literally tastes like a Banana Split... dangerous. The only downfall for me was the service was a little slower than I'd expect. I understand it was a Friday night but one of the bartenders kept referring to what seemed like the drink recipe guide, which of course slowed them down a bit more.

    Hard to find, worth the search! Tucked in on Donnelly Walk, JB Perceval's is the cocktail spot to find. Great cocktails, in a great venue with a great staff. Perfect combination. Humphrey Bogart greets you as you enter this throwback to comfort and great drinks. Small bites are available and they are very good too. What a contrast to the more casual, college crowd bars and restaurants nearby. J.B.'s is an adult oasis of flavor infused drinks served in great glassware by attentive folks in a great spot. Cheers!

    Ran into two different friends here, both local and both said, "It's a great bar! We come here all the time." And can totally see why: great drinks and yummy small bite plates. Friendly staff. Cool vibe kind of place. We called in advance to see about a reservation bc one person in our group is on crutches. They were very happy to help us. Nice! Our group tried both seasonal specials (Mr Fig, pear drink (forget name), house specialties (old fashioned, something with curaçao, smoke house) and a request for a hot toddy which they gladly provided. All were outstanding. We all loved the glassware. We tried the charcuterie and anti pasta boards, hummus, and pretzels. Boards and hummus were excellent. The pretzels were hard pretzels with cayenne pepper - considering how excellent everything else was, these didn't hold up in comparison. We had a fun night!

    Why am I just finding out about this place?? Hidden in the little alley between Archie Moore's and Playa bowl, this tiny cocktail bar is a very welcome discover. The ambiance is darker, speakeasy like. It's not very big; I would estimate no more than 20 people could fit in there comfortably, which is perfect for this setting. Bartenders were very skilled and took care in crafting the cocktails. My amaretto sour was fantastic, and my wife liked the gin fizz a lot. Will definitely be back!

    Great seasonal drink selection, and a broad range of alcohol options for the cocktail aficionado in an intimate setting. Highly recommend for a fancy nightcap in Fairfield. The only reason for the 4 star rating was the service. The 2 young women bartenders were more interested in their cellphones than making drinks. I would have had at least 2 more drinks had the service been better. As a former bartender, you should be aware of the empty glasses at the bar especially when it's so small.

    Nice succulent bar in the heart of Fairfield. It sort of smelled like a nice perfume or cologne when we walked - not strong, but pleasant. It is lounge-style seating with bar seating as well. Their bar service was efficient too! I enjoy The Billionaire cocktail just days after Christmas 2022. Had a nice quite and relaxed time enjoy a drink with my best friend. I very much recommend stopping by for a quick drink when you have time.

    Great little hole in the wall cocktail bar! They have a selection of seasonal drinks, but it's a fully stocked bar so you can order pretty much anything. We got a few little bites to eat - meat and cheese platter and the hummus - both were delicious. I initially got the Spicy Passionfruit Mule, which is actually pretty spicy. I tried to order the drink without the spicy vodka in it, but they ended up just giving me a regular Mule, which was good, I was just hoping for the Passionfruit liqueur. They had live music and not super crowded, so overall had a really good experience and I can't wait to come back!

    I stopped by on Sunday afternoon because I was itching for a real good chicken Parmesan. I wanted a…read morecup of coffee while I waited, and the kind waitress apologized stating to be a few minutes as she wanted to make a new pot of coffee to provide me a fresh cup. No need to apologize as it's always worth waiting a few minutes for a fresh cup. When she bought out the coffee, the milk was a little bit curdled and I mentioned could she please bring me a fresh cup with new milk? She apologized several times and in the end wound up camping the cup of coffee and my Arnold Palmer drink and discounted the chicken Parmesan. This is the right way to run a restaurant. I will definitely be back. As far as the chicken Parmesan, it was absolutely delicious. What I like about it is the entire chicken is covered in mozzarella. Really enjoyed it.

    I visited this Fairfield establishment for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. It was a…read more beautiful and breezy day, so I chose to eat outside. I was in the mood for a quality pasta dish, although I would love to try their pizza. The outdoor dining area is quite large, and the inside is spacious and well docorated.. The tables were tsdtefully set. The entire restaurant was clean, including the restroom. I started off with a Moretti beer. I wanted to try the Bolognese egg rolls with vodka sauce. Lots of reviews about them. There were 4 eggrolls so this is a great app to share. They were very good, crunchy exterior and ample Bolognese and cheese. The vodka dipping sauce had a nice little kick to it. Brillliant idea. I then had the Fettuccine Alpha Romeo, with cream, egg yolk, pecorino, and panchetta; a cross between Carbonara and Alfredo, which is usually not my go to dish, but it sounded delectable. The portion was generous and the dish was rich and the pasta was al dente. I thought it could only have been improved upon by having the panchetta a tad crispy , but on second thought the way is is prepared is the way to go with this dish. Layers of flavor in this dish. Service was excellent, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. I loved the option to sit outside. I very much enjoyed my experience and recommend and plan to return to try the pizza and more! The waiter told me they have a prix fixe menu for $16 lunches during the week!

    Outstanding food, high-end flavor at a very reasonable price…read more Traveled to meet my daughter to celebrate her birthday with a few of her college friends, and Molta did not disappoint. Outstanding food, high end flavor at a very reasonable price. What a great night. Started the night with Potato Gnocchi in a butternut squash cream sauce, unreal. We also shared Brussels sprouts, calamari fritti, and truffle fries. All of the appetizers were terrific. Honestly, I could have ordered one of everything. For the main course, Lobster Ravioli, Gnocchi Pesto, and Penne alla Vodka were all excellent, but the Baby Lamb Chops with potatoes, vegetables, and balsamic reduction absolutely stole the show. Service was incredibly accommodating, especially for a very busy Saturday night. I was impressed with how timely both the appetizers and entrées were delivered.

    Went to Molto yesterday for lunch and it was delicious! We got the lunch special it was $20. It…read more came with a generous sized caesar salad which was delicious (you can pick which salad you'd like), main (I picked salmon acqua pazza), and dessert (we got our cannolis to go). They also gave you bread for the table but I forgot to snap a pic of that. I love all the lunch specials Fairfield has recently. Super great deal and a lot of food for a great price! We got aperol spritz's too to enjoy the summer. It was a great summer afternoon out on the patio.
