520 Bar & GrillNice placeIt was a pick close to our hotel and a very pleasant surprise. The food was very good and wine list had something for everyone.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMFun SpotAfter a long, but successful client presentation, the team wanted to celebrate at a casual restaurant with a local twist and we happened upon 520 Bar and Grill. It is on a busy downtown neighborhood street with lots of activity. The staff was accommodating and offered good dining and drink suggestions. The feel is definitely more bar than restaurant so it had a lively, warm feel to the space. All of our food was very good from the salmon, to the mussels to my flat iron steak. I definitely would recommend for a nice neighborhood spot.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe bar is noisy but outsideThe bar is noisy but outside was quite pleasant. As it got dark they lit the heaters and kept us warm. My date was an hour late and they let me just sit there at a premium outside table and drink water while I waited impatiently. Busy place. Easy to make reservations for outside but make them for 15 min before you really need them and show up early to make sure you get a spot.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMA great experience!We had been wanting to try 520 Bar & Grill for some time now and decided to take advantage of a sunny day to go for lunch and sit outside. We were not disappointed! The outdoor seating along the sidewalk was great for people watching while enjoying the spring sunshine. Our server was very genuine and attentive, and took the extra step by bringing a glass of ice cubes to help cool down freshly brewed ice tea and rounded up some bread for us which isn't usually available. He helped recommend favorite items on the menu and he was right on! The food was outstanding and had reasonable portion sizes. I'm so glad we were finally able to experience 520 Bar & Grill and look forward to coming back soon - especially to enjoy the outdoor seating.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat food, great servicegreat food, great service - but very noisy .. not a place to go if you want to have quiet conversation. We were there at 6:30pm on a WED .. I could barely hear the person sitting next to me talking.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMIt's loud, it's lively, it'sIt's loud, it's lively, it's fun. We ran into so many people we knew, it was great. It was like having a fun dinner party at home without the dishes or stress, but all the fun conversation. The food was good, the drinks were great, and we truly had a fun time. After dinner we hung out on the new side and had drinks and dessert. It was good. I'll be back!4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMYou will be seen at this scene!What fun!
