It was more casual then expected. And the paper tablecloth covers cheapest the experience. But food, staff, and drinks were exceptional. Overall great anniversary diner

Bar Lucia was such a fun stop! I knew it was located at Oxbow Public Market, but I hadn’t realized Oxbow was such a lively marketplace filled with so many little businesses—and Bar Lucia being right next to Kara’s Cupcakes worked out perfectly for us. Our host was very nice and made me a delicious **Blackberry Frosé** to pair with a light bite. Since we were celebrating my daughter Michelle’s birthday, I had picked up candles to put on her cupcake from Kara’s. The staff at Bar Lucia went the extra mile and found us a match so we could light them. What made the moment even more special was when the other guests at the bar joined in and sang **Happy Birthday** to Michelle. It was one of those spontaneous little moments that becomes a wonderful memory. Great hospitality, a refreshing Frosé, and a very sweet birthday celebration—we’re so glad we stopped at Bar Lucia! -- Deborah

We had a lovely meal at Acre. Service was attentive, the room is pleasant and not too noisy. We both had pasta dishes that we enjoyed. We especially liked the fried olive appetizer.

Very nice restaurant on the second floor of a exclusive location. Not very nosey and accessible for kids if needed. Adult upscale vibe with good food, drinks and service.
