    We went for the burger battle, and they had a great burger. Liv consistently serves up great food, with fantastic cocktails and a great atmosphere.

    Sushi was awesome as always. Our drinks were good and it was a busy vibe going on. We did have the chicken sumai appetizer which was a big let down. The chicken was tasteless and very very dry. Everything else was great so maybe it was just an off night for that dish

    The food was delish. Drinks took a fair bit to be made because there was only one bartender working during the first half of our reservation. Servers were lovely. Food came out quickly. Would recommend.

    Quaint, intimate setting. Lighting and music volume were on point. Food was delicious and service was great! Highly recommend for date night, pop in for a cocktail at the inviting little bar, or a catch up with your bestie!❤️
