From their espresso martinis to their wine selection, the owner has thoughtfully designed his menu to be inclusive for everyone. Even their charcuterie boards are to die for!

There are also chess boards for those who like to play. 10/10 recommended this spot!!

The serving staff was very busy due to the holiday. We started with a shrimp appetizer which was delicious! Two had the taco platter with a choice of steak or chicken and rice and beans. Very generous portions!! The burria taco platter was amazing. The beef is indescribable! Two of us shared. It comes with a beef dipping broth. The steamed shrimp plate was so flavorful. The next time we come back we hope to delve more into the menu items. Love the place

Even though we're not always familiar with the wines on the menu, the owners, Kyle and Sam, have always been willing to help us pick out a glass or bottle based on what we're looking for/enjoy, and we've never been disappointed. And the flowers!!! What's better than grabbing a glass of wine and bringing home a fresh, seasonal bouquet? We are so lucky to have a spot like this in Creston.

My husband wanted me to purchase one of the more expensive pre-made bouquets. I told him not a good idea since many of the vases had brown slimy water, so I wasn't confident it would last. I selected a cheaper bouquet that was seemed ok. But as you can see from the photo (taken the NEXT day, all the roses are quickly dying off). Overall it felt like an expensive evening to not enjoy most of our wine and have a wilted bouquet that didn't last a full day.

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.

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 service was a tiny bit slow but we were not in a time crunch so it wasn't really a big deal. I had a glass of wine and my friend and I split an appetizer, a charcuterie board, and the Parisian sandwich. Their menu is seasonal but I think the sandwiches stay pretty consistently. Everything was really good and high quality. I especially loved the sandwich. Truly similar to the same sandwiches you can get everywhere in Paris. The charcuterie board was yummy with unique choices! Everything paired pretty well. I would definitely come back here to try more menu options and wine :)

I'm a big Squibb fan and it's great to see them utilizing this space to serve drinks, coffee, and small plates, as well as cheese to go and other fun items for sale in their market. It's a one stop shop for a perfect picnic! Nate and I stopped by on their first day open and ordered the Parisian, heirloom tomato and burrata, and the mini charcuterie board. If you liked Aperitivo, you'll love Sav Sav. Everything we ate was delicious, but we both loved the tomato and burrata small plate the most. It was bursting with flavor and was nicely balanced between savory and sweet. I also really loved the Parisian and want to try the other sandwich options. I'm excited to see how their concept evolves! The little market area is super cute and they have lots of tinned fish, cookbooks, wine, snacks, and more. This will be a go-to spot for me in the Downtown Market.

I was with a large group, so I got to sample a number of tapas, which were ordered for the table. I loved the Iberico Pork Belly, and the Wild Boar Empanadas. I thought the Croquetas and the Patatas Bravos were good, though there are other things I'd order in the future. I thought the Ceviche Mixta was ok, though I'm not usually a fan of ceviche, and this was better than most. My least favorite was the Pulpo a la Gallega. While the octopus was tender, it had an unpleasant fishy flavor. I got the Chuletas de Cordero for a main course, and was so happy with the dish. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I really liked the chickpea topping. My only quibble was the dried apple slices added nothing to the dish. They had an unpleasant chewy texture, little flavor, and didn't add to the aesthetics. I would order this again in a heartbeat. I ordered the Árbol de Frambuesa, and it was an amazing dessert. The chocolate souffle was thicker and creamier than I expected, but it was so delicious! I don't want to ruin the surpise of this dish by describing how it looked. I would also order this again.
