    Nice place to have dinner. A little loud but mostly from people having very loud conversations try to talk over the music. Only thing I didn’t like was the tip amount of 20% added to my bill for a party of 2. I always tip well but that was not right and then the nerve to have additional tip option on the bill. Service was good but not that good.

    Come to Dearly Beloved for great cocktails, awesome ambiance, and fantastic service. The food is forgettable, but the rest is great. Definitely a must, but cocktails only.

    I had a reservation. Paid for parking. Walked to the entrance and doors were locked. Unable to get. Staff was working and people were sitting on the bar being served. Knocked and did not get in. Left after 10 minutes.

    Always a good time at this hip place. Have been here before and wanted to go back to celebrate my birthday. Made a seating requested during the online reservation, but did not get it. I understand that the request is not a guarantee, however, with over two weeks' time for reservation I was a bit disappointed. After waiting for a few minutes to be seated, we were given whatever was first available. this was my only disappointment. Our server was amazing as always. LuzMery

    Good drinks and service but horrible food. The Caviar Cigar app. tasted like it was fried in rancid oil - greasy and gross. Salad was good; burger and fries lacked seasoning. Go for drinks only!

    Very unique and beautiful atmosphere! Drinks were creative although I would have liked a little bit more selection they were very tasty! Loved the music choices definitely a vibe!
