Friendly, attentive staff. We came after happy hour, but our server still gave us HH prices. Food was fresh and tasty, especially the shrimp tacos and guac. Beer choices were limited, and music wasn’t great. Would still go back for the food.

Upstairs at Caroline’s is the best with Ernie & Brin! If you have the chance, brunch downstairs is equally as great! I would 100% recommend any of their specialty drinks and biscuits & gravy :)

It’s 100° outside in the patio is nice and cool. This is a great vibe and it’s really nice to be sitting outside even though it’s so hot. Delicious cocktails, and fun people watching. Danny at the rooftop bar was excellent. Worth a check out!

The bartender, Danny, did not disappoint. I was having a decompression end of the week getaway and he flipped my frown upside down. *corny, but true…Some bartenders get upset when they get a customer that says, “make me something”. Well not …
