The food is incredible. The salad is enough for two and the Bolognese is incredible. Great sauce and homemade pasta. The tiramisu for dessert is fabulous. Very old school!

We enjoyed our visit to this dark, cool vibey bar. Our server helped us choose drinks that matched our taste preferences. Loved Goose Chase and Down in Kokomo. Perfect date-night spot. The only knock was the noise from the street traffic outside. Otherwise, I highly recommend Highball if you are looking for a chill, creative cocktail bar.

The Uptown go-to (or to-go, if that's your fancy). Brimming with quality seafood, pristine cuts of meat, and fresh vegetables done just right, The Neighborly is the elevated neighborhood spot you've been looking for. Slide into a rich, tufted leather booth, or grab a seat at our bustling bar, either way the drinks are cold and the food just right.
