Love The Loft. It was a great experience. The cozy bar is very nice with friendly staff serving drinks that are nothing less than fantastic. Food is a bit simple…basically Duckworth’s kitchen small plates. I had the chicken fingers which were most delicious and cooked to perfection. Also had a mojito and a lemondrop martini!

Always a great experience at Dos Caminos. It’s a beautiful restaurant with great food. The fish tacos and margaritas are excellent. Fun to come here before or after an event uptown!
