    The bacon and halloumi are a bit salty, and we waited for a little bit longer. But overall experience was outstanding as we liked the ambiance and the service.

    Imagine an impeccable experience. That's the one I had with my girlfriend at Alder. The whole experience was spotless; the food was perfect, the service was attentive, polite and on point, and the ambiance was sweet, refined and cozy. It was my first time there, and I will definitely go back.

    The staff at Mexhico made our special event wonderful! We had a large group of 12 and they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was great, especially the fresh guacamole and tacos! They had live music and really put lots of thought into the details of the celebration. I will say it is an eclectic experience with loud music so be prepared for this vibe. Overall, everyone had a great time and I would highly recommend Mexhico for your special events :)

    12/10! LOUIX LOUIS is a true gem! The food was excellent, and the chic ambiance made the whole dining experience feel so special. The drinks are absolutely amazing, but the highlight for me was their signature cocktail, Pink in the City 🙌🏻 it’s absolutely to die for! The King’s Cake Slice is totally worth it. Perfect spot for a night out. Mariam who served us was amazing. Highly recommend!

    Great experience at Tacotaco! Our table was ready to go when we came even when it was busy, the staff were wonderful throughout, constantly checking in on us and providing suggestions as it was our first time there. Food was AMAZING - specifically the beef birria and jerk chicken tacos as well as the jalapeno poppers. Will definitely be back, good to know they have a happy hour!
