BRICK and MORTAR
is our go to favorite place right now. It’s small plate tapas style that has a variety of dishes. It’s farm to table and the staff has always been on point with wine pairings! We also like all the others listed below too..

We eat here quite a bit when the weather is nice for breakfast just because we like sitting outside near the parks. The omlettes are nice and they serve fresh squeezed oj. Like not from a box because it seems people don't know what "fresh" squeezed means!

I really love sitting outside having a glass of wine hanging out with friends at this bar. There are sofa's and tables but if you are able to snag a lounge sofa area you can literally spend the entire night here having the best time! Thursday night-Saturday night the most energy vibe but I think they have deals on Wednesdays?

If you are in more of relaxed mood and just want a casual drink outside the lounge seating outside the Vinoy is also one of my favotite o to places to meet up with friends. The drinks are not astronomical hotel prices either. They are on par with most bars!
