My close friends and I have had an annual holiday dinner at Iberian Pig for the last 3 or so years. It’s an accidental tradition that we’ve decided to do on purpose. The staff always makes the experience even more memorable with quality service and a fabulous menu. Our server, Ryder, was phenomenal. Already looking forward to Year 4!

We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Lily! Loved the pasta and my companion loved her Caesar salad with jerk chicken. We splurged on the sorbet, which was also excellent.

Very lively place especially on a Monday night. The service was amazing it was our first experience there and the waiter made sure to be patient and answer any questions we had. I would say be sure to have a reservation tables were always full. The food and drinks were amazing I got a dirty vodka martini which was very good. Me and my husband shared pasta and pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Would most definitely be back!
