Midtown Sip, Savor, Social

Midtown is an absolutely beautiful space to enjoy a cocktail and a meal. It is almost always busy and buzzing making the noise level energenic but difficult for conversation. The service provided by Josh was outstanding even during a very busy 2PM Saturday Lunch rush. The beer selection was good and my wife reported that her cocktail was delicious. The menu (lunch) is limited with some interesting sandwiches, soup and salads although not too creative. The portions are smaller scale, presentation is quite nice and the ingredients are fresh. All good but not great. Finally the value overall is not quite there for the price point. With all that said we will return at some point.

This place absolutely delivered from the moment we walked in. Every corner of the restaurant was wrapped in holiday cheer—from the festive décor to the cozy, welcoming vibe that made it feel like a true seasonal escape. The photos don’t lie: the cocktails, the food, the ambiance—it all looks incredible and somehow tastes even better in person. You can feel the care and intention in every detail. A huge shout-out to Joe, our waiter, who truly made the night. Not only was he attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, but he also had the best nails—even if one was chipped (which only made him more iconic). Joe made sure we got exactly what we wanted, never rushed us, and checked in at all the right moments. Service like that elevates an already great experience into something memorable.

Visited for the first time last night and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was amazing! Beautiful décor and a warm, inviting vibe. For appetizers, we tried the clams casino, fried calamari, and tuna tartare. The clams were out of this world, the tuna was incredibly fresh, and the calamari was perfectly cooked. For my entrée, I had the Picanha steak, super tender and cooked exactly to my liking. I can’t wait to go back; I’ve been craving those clams ever since I left!

We waited a little before trying this place out because new restaurants always have issues to iron out in the first few weeks after opening. I’m pleased to say our wait was well rewarded! The atmosphere is very chic, the service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the drinks were innovative and tasty! We were very pleased with our experience! My husband ordered the lamb shank and I ordered the duck. Both meals were excellent. We’ll definitely be back!

So I want to do this by segment : 1) reservations made -we entered the restaurant, greeted by friendly desk personnel and seated within 5 mins. I know as it got busier in the evening, guest would go to the bar for a max 15 min wait, nothing unusual and it shows great management of the table rotations . 2) service- this was our first time and we happened to get an old friend (Joe). Joe is top notch, fun, attentive and could work at the best of the best. Our service was impeccable and that includes, reception and delivery of the food by the rest of the staff and obviously Joe. 3) Food quality, assortment and taste. We started with apps Calamari, they were surprisingly abundant, enough for 4 people let alone just the two of us. Light, perfectly fried, exceptionally fresh and tender. I had the
