    Made a reservation for 8:00pm. Never ended up getting a table and was told to go to the bar. Was told I would receive a text- never received anything.

    This is our second time trying Dearly Beloved. The first time we just had drinks but this time we wanted to try the food. Our experience was okay could of been much better. The food took way too long to come out. Although they apologize in advance we were there almost a total of 2 hours. The server seems to have way too many tables so often times we had to wave her down. We were quite thrown back on why the kitchen was backed up with such a small menu? They could of offered a free dessert or something for the long wait. We really love the decor of this place and will give it another try at some point.

    Dearly beloved🫶🏽...how romantic is that! The ambience, the food, the cocktails all amazing. The branzino delicious. The old fashion made to perfection. The truffles fries, the steak burger all a must try. To say the customer service is outstanding is an understatement. Management visited our table to personally ensure we had a pleasant dining experience. Great place for a sexy date night spot or evening out with family and friends. 10/10 highly recommend Sincerely, Cheetah Girl

    First time coming to this beautiful place. Happy hour was a perfect way to sample the offerings. Our server was engaging and attentive, the smoked olive martini was divine and the French fries to compliment it were perfect. Would’ve liked the portion to be a bit larger but overall it was good. Will definitely be back !

    Absolutely loved Dearly Beloved! The drinks were great and the atmosphere was amazing. Our waitress was very polite and knowledgeable about the drinks we ordered. We did not have food but I’m sure it wouldn’t have disappointed.
