This was our first visit to the Velvet Curtain Speakeasy, and everything about it was a delight from the professional, friendly service to the charming '30's ambiance to the killer food and cocktails. They are clearly paying attention to the details that separate great restaurants from good ones. Our housemade potato gnocchi featured freshly grated, high quality Parmigiano-Reggiano from a cheese wheel at the bar, not the tasteless stuff from a green can. We tried three different wonderful cocktails, and the two that had a cherry garnish used delicious, pricey Luxardo cherries, not the cheap dyed Maraschinos from the grocery store. This focus on quality and providing a great drinking & dining experience was evident everywhere. I should also mention the excellent crab cake appetizer, which costs only $5! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more
