Losanti is just a real treat to experience! It has a trendy, yet cozy vibe with perfect lighting. The food is good, and the salmon with the sun-dried tomato cream was excellent. The two pastas got excellent reviews from my dining companions too. Our waitress was attentive and we received a warm welcome upon arriving. I love this place and I can’t wait to go back.

Dined on the rooftop and Alex was our server. Outstanding service and lots of attention to detail! We really enjoyed our evening and Rusk is one of our favorite places to visit. We will be back soon!

Delicious food and good happy hour deals. Service was amazing, Emma took good care of us and was so lovely to interact with. Really great pizza and the fancy ranch salad is one of the best salads I’ve ever had! Highly recommend

We were there for Blink so expected the worst. They prepared us to expect a little slower service due to the crush, but it was fine. They really handled things perfectly. And the food was delish.

Mellotone is one of my favorite spots! It is seriously an underrated spot and is so flexible! Whether you want a sit down dining experience (day or night—their brunch and dinner menus are both so good!), want to hang out upstairs as a group with some drinks, or enjoy the live music hideaway that is Undertone, this spot has got you covered. I was even pleasantly surprised that they have kids menus here, which worked perfectly as I was dining with my young niece.
