    We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Optimist. Our server was Damien and he gave excellent service all night. All the food tasted amazing and it was perfectly coursed throughout the night. Additionally, Damien had a strong table presence that really made our night. We will definitely be back.

    Made a reservation specifically to go have oysters and ended up having a little bit of everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. Our server was so kind to answer our gazillion questions, made informed recommendations, and also talked TikTok videos with our table. Admittedly, this wasn’t a spot high on my wish list, but it’s become one of my faves after one visit!

    The food at Two Urban Licks is always good and the service is friendly and prompt. We started with the chicken empanada appetizer which was delicious. My husband ordered the trout and I had the salmon. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We’re already talking about going back soon and bringing some friends with us!
