My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab some snacks and since they're part of the downtown refreshment zone, we also got some drinks to go. The staff at the AC Hotel is incredibly professional, welcoming, and authentically kind. Our service was great while we were there. I love the varied cozy seating at this bar! We chose a high top at one of the large windows, which was great for people watching. They keep them open during warmer weather so we heard a lot of the hustle and bustle of downtown. We started with some recommended drinks from our bartender -- I ordered the pina colada milk punch on draft, and my boyfriend got the skeleton key. The pina colada milk punch was really refreshing! It's made with coconut water instead of coconut cream you find in a typical pina colada, and it has a little bubbliness to it while still being tropical. I really liked it and would definitely order it again. The skeleton key was really nice, too! It was a ginger beer drink that was also refreshing. The drinks were delicious but didn't taste too much like alcohol - could be a good thing or a bad thing! For my to-go drink, I got an aperol spritz, which was delicious! For food, we got the albondigas and manchego croquettes to share. The croquettes were deliciously creamy melted cheese and perfectly fried! The aioli dipping sauce was really tasty but not needed with the richness of the croquette. The croquettes came three to an order, so be aware of that if you're planning on sharing. The albondigas were flavorful and I really liked the tomato sauce. They could have been a little more tender, but I enjoyed eating them with the baguette. Overall, our experience at La Ventanita was definitely five stars, especially due to the superior service. I would go back to try more of the food--the Cuban style burger sounds really tasty!

It was fairly quiet but the staff was friendly and the vibes inside were so filled with holiday cheer! I love how they decorate the space and you can purchase little things to go and just enjoy time with your friends, whether it's for a fancy girls night or just having a chill night out. Whatever your vibe is, Pursuit of Happiness is a wonderful woman owned business that I love to support! It's kind of tucked away from the bustle of the street, but you can easily find some off street parking around the corner in a lot or find some street parking pretty easily, which is really nice. I always forget this place is here but I always enjoy it when I come back! I need to keep it in my rotation and come back more often! The vibes are just too good.

The cherry spritz, mama I dream of it still . My only qualm is that I am a stickler for good glassware ~ I would like to see the beverages with a stem. And based on the aesthetic I know the owner could find some classic glassware. We need more places like this in GR, and I need more POH in my LIFE.

A peaceful ambiance with some fun energetic music was just the right atmosphere for us. And our server Brett is simply the best. Attentive, friendly, and hilarious. We always know we are in for a good night when he's taking care of us. The drinks were delightful. We had NA sangria, red wine sangria, and a London fog for our drinks and they were delicious. The London Fog even had a fresh sprig of lavender to brighten it up. The food was a hit. We enjoyed lots of dishing including delicious empanadas, flavorful patatas bravas, the special with wagyu steak, and more! It was a memorable experience and we look forward to returning for more to come!

Besides a few menu items, everything is a tapa (little bites) and served family style. We put in everything all at once, and it came out as it was ready. It was all 10/10 and honestly very filling! I was nervous about the portions, but for 2 people, 3 tapas was perfect! The parking is a bit harder though. There is street parking and a few ramps around, but no dedicated lot. The entrance is also inside a shared door which is a bit confusing. There were enough labels to figure it out easily though. Comfy atmosphere, cute decor, and great food!

Chef was right there with menus and telling us about his goal to provide a different experience using locally sourced food. We ordered four items to graze upon; Cabbage rolls w/veal, Beef cheeks (?), Crostini Royal (melt in your mouth YUM!) and the Korean BBQ ribs. Literally EVERYTHING was phenomenal! Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Crostini was soft, yet crunchy with a bacon jam with the flavor of a hot bacon dressing....only better! The Beef Cheeks was a bread tower stuffed with all kinds of yummy all around on a bed of black beans. The Cabbage Rolls were stuffed with ground veal with a succulent, mild tomato cover that complimented rather than overwhelmed. So much to try....such a small stomach....Thankfully, they have boxes! Can't wait to go back. Such a HIDDEN GEM!!

If you want to find a place to try with friends, family, or a date, this is a pretty cool place to try out! There are pretty good options for food on their menu. The dishes that have borders around them are what the chefs recommend. Me and my friend decided to go that route. Warm Goat Cheese - really good! It had a really thick and gooey texture, and I felt with the warmth it added to the deliciousness to it. It really is a comforting dish to try out. I thought the Spanish tomato sauce really complimented to the warm goat cheese. They offer 6 pieces of bread; if you need more, they will give you more! Smoked Chicken Empanadas - this dish was pretty good. The shell was very crispy, but the chicken inside was actually pretty dry, to my surprise. The salsa tasted good though, and I really loved the red pepper cream. Beautiful dish though! I don't think I'd get it again though. I do prefer my empanadas slightly on the softer side. Garlic Shrimp Adobado - this was probably my favorite dish. My friend thought it was a little too strong with garlic, but what else would you expect with "roasted garlic, confit garlic butter, garlic chips" as the description?? I personally didn't find it too garlic-y. I loved it and would recommend it. It was flavorful and I loved the soft cloves of garlic. It wasn't too heavy of a dish. Smoked Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates - this was also one of my other favorites. If you're getting this dish with other ones, my suggestion is to eat this last because the dates are naturally pretty sweet which almost make it feel like you're eating a dessert dish. The bacon was sooo good and cooked so well with the dates. Super decadent dish and unique! If you are not familiar with tapas style, the front of the menu talks about tapas and the communal aspect of it. I loved that they did it! True to tapas style, the restaurant can serve you one to two dishes at a time, which I would recommend. The service was great. Super friendly and warm. On the slower side, but I think it was just because it was pretty busy that night.

If you are looking for something different give this meadery a spin, they have loads to choose from. I loved the Blue Blood and Luchador from my mead flight. Do be aware that the food here is fine, you won't be blown away unfortunately. The Ron Swanson panini was quite good, but the potato bites appetizer were quite lackluster.
