    Busy and a little noisy on a Tuesday night, but the food makes it worth a visit. Ordered a salad, the Duck enchilada appetizer( my favorite), fried oysters and the Tenderloin entrees. Loved the flavors of the duck enchilada and the hint of citrus on the oysters. Key lime pie for dessert was a nice ending to a great meal. Excellent service staff and definitely suggest making reservations in advance.

    The ambiance is great. You feel like you’re stepping into a good restaurant when you walk in the door. The experience only goes up from there. The roasted carrots were a great appetizer. I got the pork chop and it was excellent. My daughter got the “trust me vegetarian plate” and it was abundant and beyond delicious. I ate several bites of her meal and there was plenty leftover when she was done. Highly recommend!

    Excellent as always! Started with cocktails from one of the best bartenders in town and the hummus appetizer. Then we shared a Caeser salad and the short rib pasta, which although on the small plates menu, is still plenty to share and its delicious! Always a good atmosphere in the bar and great service.

    First time here and it's a gem. McEwen's has a beautiful bar area with vintage brick and wood. We loved sitting at one of the high tops there. The cocktail menu was extensive and featured many drinks that are either classics or well-balanced. This is usually a sign that the bar staff know what they’re doing and McEwen‘s did not disappoint. The waitstaff were extremely attentive, the food was excellent, and overall we had a perfect experience for my birthday dinner.
