    Host and bartender were extremely knowledgeable and enlightening in conversation. The host provided us with a wealth of information about the history of the building and was friendly and well spoken. Our bartender was just as friendly and attentive. He knew his craft well and provided us with good recommendations for libations and fare. We only had appetizers and drinks but they did not disappoint. The bean and cheese nachos were excellent, esp when our bartender suggested the spicy avocado cream sauce as an accompaniment. It definitely had a little kick, but it was not overpowering. The chicken in the quesadillas was probably some of the best grilled chicken I have ever eaten. I will be back to try the chicken on its own! My BF said the house margarita on the rocks was great (he had two) and I liked the sangria, but I will admit, I did not order a second. It was a bit bland, however, I appreciate that they made it fresh. The atmosphere is lively and the building has been beautifully restored and renovated to modern standards, but still keeps the warm aesthetics of its former days as the Liberty Bar.

    We went here for our 13th wedding anniversary. Where to start? Immediately, we were sat given complementary champagne. Our waitress Jewles was wonderful!!! Very, very on point. Checked on us frequently went out of her way on one of our requests. There was a small hickup with my husband's order, but right away, a manager came to explain the situation and wasn't a big deal to us, just more tad of a wait. Then 2 free desserts to end the night!!! Honestly, the whole night was good and food amazing! Jewels was 10+ stars for her waiting services if I could give that! Will definitely be back!
