They have an amazing cocktail menu along with a cocktail and martini of the day! Very exciting to see the creative freedom from the team! The mussels are to die for! You can tell the menu is very well thought out, I will be back to try more! The entire place is just a great vibe! Truly a gem worth trying and will leave you wanting to come back for more!! Thank you for the amazing experience to everyone there!

I have been here a few time before and definitely thought I had already written a review, but I…read moreguess not. I have been here two times in the last week and lemme tell ya.. this is quite the spot. I do suggest making a reservation because everytime I go here it is popping! What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

The White Squirrel Bar was just okay to me. There was live music going on, which was a nice touch…read moreand probably the highlight of the visit. The inside of the bar is pretty small and felt a bit cramped, especially with how busy it was on a Sunday. They do have a back patio that is fairly large, which I appreciated, but during the day it did not feel very inviting. Without lighting or much going on, it came off a bit plain. As for drinks, I tried a non alcoholic half and half with lemonade and iced tea, which I actually really liked. I also had a mojito style cocktail that was not my favorite and tasted a bit too strong for me. The overall vibe just was not really my thing, but I could see it being more fun at night or with a bigger group.

I'd seen rave reviews about this place, so we decided to go here to celebrate a personal…read moreaccomplishment last weekend! It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

Great happy hour spot! We tried the burger, nachos, all of their oyster options, and a few…read morecocktails. Both the happy hour and specialty cocktails were excellent. The burger was my favorite food item for the price, and you can't beat an Old Fashioned for under $10. Cool atmosphere with fun Halloween decorations. It's a smaller space with only about six bar seats and a handful of high tops, so getting there early or making a reservation is a good idea. Would definitely come back!

My daughter and I were excited to finally try this restaurant in my new neighborhood after walking…read moreby it countless times. Since we didn't have a reservation, we arrived early and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. From the moment we walked in, we loved everything about the place. The décor is beautiful, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff was fantastic. The menu offers so many great options, and the cocktails were even better than expected. Our server, Rosie, provided excellent recommendations, and we genuinely loved everything we ordered. They also offer a great happy hour until 6 PM, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend giving it a try. One small note: We didn't realize a 20% gratuity had already been added to our bill. That's partially on us for not catching it on the credit card slip, (we tipped in cash) but I do think it would be helpful if servers mentioned it when presenting the check. I typically prefer to tip in cash, so on our $62 tab, we ended up leaving a $34 tip. Even with that little surprise, we'll absolutely be back. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all worth another visit!

Tons of outdoor seating, and lots of places where groups of 6+ can hang out together. The inside had beautiful red mood lighting and great seating options - perfect for date night or intimate dinners. We also went on a Monday evening, and the place was not packed but decently filled - another testament to the great vibes! We got a couple drinks, an app, 2 mains and a dessert to split. We loved the Georgian cheese bread - so cheesy and our toddler loved it as well! The pear cocktail was delicious, good fall vibes. The pork medallion covered in cheese was phenomenal and big enough to split between two, and we paired that with the vareniki with chili vinegar. The vinegar was great, but we could have used a bit more salt/ tang with the dumplings. Otherwise, fantastic. The tiramisu was also delicious, not too sweet and a delicious boozy end to the meal. The patio was child friendly enough, there were no other kids but luckily the space was loud enough that when she made noise, we didn't feel too out of place. Overall, we'll definitely return!

Such a cute, cozy and divey place. The bar is adorable. You can definitely tell this is family owned. Our server was fantastic and very obviously Russian. We tried all the food--from the garden salad with the sunflower vinaigrette to pickled vegetables, borscht and the homemade dumplings. I'm not typically a huge cabbage person, but the borscht was really good. And the homemade dumplings--you won't be displeased. Ask for the chili vinegar to kick them up a notch. Everything was so good, fresh, and priced well. The drinks---way too many fun options with house infused vodkas to choose from. It was too early for a vodka flight, but I'm sure that's a fun adventure. Next time. I ordered a martini that had chocolate and pepper infused vodkas (Red October)---so strong unique and flavorful. I believe I also did the Alexander Palmer. I could have tried almost every drink on the menu. I cannot wait to come back when in MN.

Basically good food, or at least not bad. It's Irish food so that's a very positive review…read more They don't have Fulton Child of the Vine on tap anymore, since the big "renovation". But you have to give them credit for surviving that. Anyway, i don't remember what beer i ended up with, but i wasn't forced to resort to drinking Guinness, so it was local and wasn't too bad. It was pretty loud for such a small place. Like most little restaurants it has NO acoustical tile At All, and of course they had music playing that Nobody was listening to, so everybody tries to talk over, like most restaurants in the neighborhood. So with hearing aids, switch them to restaurant setting and read lips. The service was good. i don't want to give a low rating to a neighborhood business, but i really miss Dixies sometimes.

Delicious and romantic meal, with outstanding service. Highly recommend!…read more I loved the SHRIMP AL AJILLO tapas (small plate). It was so flavorful with creamy garlic butter sauce, paired with perfectly grilled crunchy slices of baguette. The SALMON dinner was equally delicious and perfectly seared for maximum crunch without drying out the fish. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy the tomato cous-cous, but it complimented the salmon well without overpowering its flavor. The inside can accommodate many small tables of 4-6 people, but I didn't think a large party would be comfortable here. The outdoor patio is a nice option if the weather cooperates. I was too full to order dessert, but they served us a couple of complimentary tiny donuts drizzled with chocolate. A perfect finish to our fantastic meal!

Though I highly recommend making a reservation for the chef's counter to enjoy your dinner with a show. The bar area had great music, service, and served the full menu plus a bar menu with pintxos (Spanish inspired small bites) Food: Sangria: delicious! Well balanced Shrimp: The fresh herbs really complimented the rich sauce. One downside was that the baguette was drowning in olive oil, and I felt it took away from the sauce. Radiatore Pasta: rich, herbaceous pasta beautifully coated in the glossy sauce, toasted almonds added a nice textural element, pasta well cooked, generous, shareable portion, got a pop of lemon zest (wished there was more) Honey cake: moist, sweet, honey flavor comes through great. Hazelnut praline is crunchy, salty, nutty, great pair with the sweet, crisp, melt in your mouth honeycomb. Very sweet, but not one note. Super rich and luscious Churro: felt heavy/greasy, though the bitter chocolate sauce covered it/complimented it well. Can't complain too much as it is complementary!

I ordered the machine Gun Kelly Manhattan, at first it was a Little bitter, but it seemed they didn't mix beforehand so after giving it a little stir it was excellent. The room was pretty dark when first entering, however your eyes will adjust. They have live music every Thursday through Saturday from 7-10. So if you want a table I would suggest arriving early, otherwise the seating is first come first served.
