It was and still is the perfect place to "WINE"-down and grab an delicious appetizer. Perfect to visit if solo, on a date, or with friends or colleagues after work. This quaint lounge setting offers bar seating, high top tables, lounge and booth seating, as well as patio seating overlooking a the beautiful tree-lined street. They also offer a separate room to host meetings or parties. Appetizers are delicious - I ordered their fried pickles and spinach dip. Just enough to hit the spot. For my cocktail, I selected the a classic apple martini (I know, "who still drinks those still?" Lol...I do...nothing wrong with a classic dahling). Great times and worth the check out. Right "upstairs" from Hungry's, this place is a great spot to chill. Self parking is limited, however they do offer valet. No street parking. Enjoy!

The service stood out right away, very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out extremely fast, which was a plus. As for the food, it was decent overall. The wings had good flavor, but the ranch was a bit watery and could definitely use more seasoning. The onion rings were also good, just needed a little extra seasoning to really bring them up a notch. Overall, it's a solid spot for happy hour with good prices, generous portions, and great service.

My friends and I had a small table on the patio in temperant weather out front. Sunshine, lightly chilly and enough wind to carry a conversation. Cody was our server and he was phenomenal. Very attentive and anticipatory. I wasn't sure what I'd like to drink or eat, but Cody led me to glory. My glass was never empty! Cody's Recommendations: Given that I elected to eat light, I thought I'd drink in fashion, despite my confusion. Cody introduced me to the Pair of Aces. A pear-forward cocktail, starring tequila, Pear and the little utilized Honeysuckle. It was the perfect weight to complement my meal. The Kung Pao Cauliflower Bites are and will remain a staple any time I dine here. The Ahi Tuna Tacos are more than perfectly balanced with gochujang, avocado, sesame and cilantro - and can we talk about those Rosemary Fries? Blasphemy. For the coup de grace, finish with the Hearsay Bread Pudding. A warm symphony of ooey gooey custard, crispyity crunchity flake and rich, dark caramel. Chef's kiss. Do I recommend Hearsay at Levy Park? Does a Bear **** in the woods?

I realize…read morethat I am young and not your typical art buying public but you should never judge a book by it's cover. Well that was not a problem here as Brian, took the time to show us around. This place is a bit hard getting to especially with all of the construction on Kirby but if you don't mind driving around neighborhood streets this place is worth checking out. I thought it was a small venue from outside but it's actually HUGE. There are 2 buildings in which they have art. And each building is 2 stories each. In between the 2 buildings is a beautiful sculpture garden. Even though they are mainly an art gallery, they do rent out their space for events. WIth the beautiful art on the wall this place could be the perfect backdrop for a gala. They charge 3,000 for 3 hours and that includes the room and the sculpture garden. Also this place seemed like a great place to work as each of the offices themselves were like mini galleries as each room was covered with art.

I wanted to make my daughter's first birthday as special as possible and Nicholle understood my vision 1000%! I contacted other vendors but some were priced higher, some didn't understand how important the right color was to the theme. Sculpted Air is a new business and didn't have any reviews but I'm glad I made the right choice and chose them. Nicholle is professional and great at communicating with me and keeping me up to date. She's also a new mom to a baby and understands how special this was for me and did her absolute best on the project. I asked for a Berry theme and she even made paper machê strawberries to add to the ballon arch. My guests all commented on how real the strawberries looked. Most backdrops are made of flimsy materials but Nicholle made a custom wood arch for my party. She really put her heart into it and it shows! I am looking forward to seeing Nicholle's small business thrive and become successful! She absolutely deserves it!

The furniture has been selected and arranged very painstakingly. There were some nice attention to details I really appreciated. I don't think there was a single bad seat in the room. The bar itself isn't very large, but it's comfortable and served as a great listening room for the evening. Everyone enjoyed their delicious cocktails. Service was very slow as there was only one bartender most of the time, and the poor guy was trying his best to make drinks and deliver hot food out. Finally some staff showed up to help him. I sampled a few of my friend's fries, and they had an awesome flavor but could have used more crispness. Not really my crowd or scene, but it's worth a look if you happen to be in the area.

I have also seen some benefit concerts and auctions that are always great fun. The vibe here is great. There are two levels.

The more quaint room off to the left with the original Andy Warhol Art has to be my favorite. The designer must of had me in mind when selecting the pieces, because they spoke to my heart. The provided musical playlists pretty much encompassed my entire collection of favorite songs in my entire lifetime. The ambiance couldn't be any better, and the care taken when cleaning the barware is superb. Lastly, parting ways with an Evian in hand is the icing on the already perfectly moist and delicious cake. I will be back, time and time again. Cheers!

The staff was on point, professional and always accomodating. They served us a 3-course dinner with grace and lots of charm! the food was very good. We had a petite filet topped with lump crabmeat and a bearnaise sauce on the side with perfectly grilled asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes. The best part? The homemade vanilla topped with your choice of fudge or butterscoth syrup. The butterscotch was heavenly (Jocelyn, our server, even gave me a second spoonful!)

Areas were closed off to the public but there was a large section that had been set up for food and beverage with ample seating under a tent as well as tables with umbrellas on a lawn so kids could run around and with a large screen to watch the matches. I've always loved this event at the country club because you can be so close to the action. Staff were super friendly and personable and really appreciate everyone's hard work to keep this open to the public so that tennis can be accessible for all.
