    This was our first time at the Press Club. We arrived on time for our reservation, but they were running behind and could not seat us inside right away. We ended up sitting on the patio, which was quiet. The service was fabulous, and our main server, Anna, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They had an interesting menu of drinks, and our two were tasty. The food was good, too, but overall, it was a little pricey.

    We opted in for the 4 course playlist menu. Food was great and paired cocktail were even better. The dessert course was the best pairing. Staff was incredibly friendly and didn’t rush the courses even though we were above our 90 min reservation. Small spot - a little loud but it was a vibe. Staff were picking records to play all night, I love the music theme.
