    It was bustling at 9:30 pm but felt cozy and charming given a fairly substantial space. Service at the bar was excellent..Txakoli rose paired well with all the dishes Oysters were well balanced with the white sauce(usually smothered on chicken -crab claws with chives were well paired - swordfish belly was succulent but could use a little punch ( shaved ginger or horseradish?) - seared mackerel was nice but maybe a little smoke or calamansi? - the crispy hashbrown with uni/crab- PERFECT! - toast with lobster was decadently tasty but the escargot got a little lost..a sprinkle of seasoned salt? Overall a unique and wonderful menu which we cannot wait to eat the rest of the dishes😋

    This was the first time me and my girlfriend dined at The Love and it will definitely not be the last. We had reservations to sit in the dining area but the vibe was so great at the bar we chose to dine with the amazing bartender Willie! Drinks were made to perfection and his food recommendations were on par. This will be my new spot to dine with friend or even solo!

    Although we had a reservation, we opted to eat at the bar. It's the same menu and the bartenders were very attentive. We found the food to be delicious! The cocktails were METICULOUSLY crafted. Just a joy to watch. The noise level was low so my husband and I were able to enjoy our meal and hear each other with ease. Noise level is a big pet peeve and I appreciate a restaurant that tries to keep the house at a lively but not so "energetic" level that you have to shout and strain to hear.
