BARBETTE REVIEWS
Just finished a superb meal at Barbette. Food was excellent, service was perfect, vibrant atmosphere. I enjoyed the red wine glazed salmon with root vegetables, broccolini, and celery puree. Really terrific,. Wife was delighted by the butternut squash and wild rice with seared salmon, and son had a really good steak with shoestring fries. 10 out of 10.
Barbette is my go-to spot for any meal or occasion: brunch, dinner, happy hour (2-5 daily), date night. I love the atmosphere and rotating art, and the patio is great for grabbing a coffee or bite when the weather is nice. They offer a few options for vegans like the miso butternut squash, veggie hash, and mushroom risotto.
Brunch at Barbette was amazing. There are lots of options, and the three my group tried were all delicious. We ordered the waffle, the French toast and the short rib benedict, which was all completely gone by the end. Great service and atmosphere as well.

ST. GENEVIEVE REVIEWS
Beautiful dishes loaded with delightful exquisite flavors. Saint Genevieve is a treat! We went for my son’s 30th birthday, and we all are comfortable sharing, so we ended up getting everything on the menu. Everything. Even the Add Ons that were offered when I made reservations. No weak notes. Every dish was 5 stars. Staff were excellent, too. Friendly, courteous, attentive, never over-staying a table visit. Interesting cocktails, and nice but short wine list.
one of my favorite restaurant experience since i've moved here in 2018. service was impeccable - shout out ace! vibe was perfect with abe's playlist and to top it all off we had dinner with some early warm weather at golden hour.
Very chic, fun restaurant with great food both aesthetically and taste wise. Plus, our waiter was extremely friendly and well informed on the menu. Absolutely loved the seasonal items!

CAVE VIN REVIEWS
My wife and I had the pleasure of going to Cave Vin for the first time. We were looking for a hidden gem restaurant we haven’t been to before and are so happy we went here. The service was incredible and the food delicious. Best tartare I’ve ever had. I don’t know much about wine but enjoyed tasting what my wife ordered. They seem to have a great selection. We can’t wait to come back again!
This place is such a gem! The service was unmatched. The manager (maybe owner) was quick to greet us, gave us a sample of wine while we waited and checked in frequently. The food was incredible! The pesto pasta was amazing, the beat salad was a surprisingly refreshing and delicious! It was all great. Would definitely recommend!
The menu at Cave Vin is full of variety. It's the perfect place to go if you're looking to explore different flavors and try something new. American dishes are really awesome.
