    Silver Girl is an unusual restaurant. It has a very interesting, amusing decor, excellent and innovative cocktails, and delicious food. The menu is a bit odd, probably best for small plates + drinks. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

    We had a wonderful evening we ordered the two flatbreads and they were amazing. They were enough so we didn’t have to order a meal. A few cocktails to end the evening outside was fabulous. Will definitely go back. Our server Abby was great, attentive and friendly, would ask for her again. Overall top notch place. Can’t wait to go back.
