    Excellent as always! Started with cocktails from one of the best bartenders in town and the hummus appetizer. Then we shared a Caeser salad and the short rib pasta, which although on the small plates menu, is still plenty to share and its delicious! Always a good atmosphere in the bar and great service.

    First time here and it's a gem. McEwen's has a beautiful bar area with vintage brick and wood. We loved sitting at one of the high tops there. The cocktail menu was extensive and featured many drinks that are either classics or well-balanced. This is usually a sign that the bar staff know what they’re doing and McEwen‘s did not disappoint. The waitstaff were extremely attentive, the food was excellent, and overall we had a perfect experience for my birthday dinner.

    Ribeye was perfect. I wouldn’t not get it with the brown sauce next time. It was like a gravy. The greens were perfection!

    We had a daddy daughter date and arrived in the early evening. We were able to enjoy a great conversation and great food. As we were leaving it was starting to get crowded. I am happy we went early. It seems to be a popular place and it is in a convenient location.
