New favorite place! Pulled up to the restaurant at 5pm on Frida and got a space right in front. Love the interior—no one went overboard trying to make it a Pinterest board. The tuna crudo was so good we ordered it twice. Sane with the oysters. I ordered the sea bass and clams—so good! My husband ordered the arrechara (fries were crispy and savory, perfectly done). We ended with the crème brûlée. Tried both old fashioneds on menu, enjoyed the smoked old fashioned but the maple had depth of flavor. Our service was great. No complaints. Can’t wait to go back.

Unbelievably good food and service at Slowly! I don't usually write reviews but feel compelled to tell everyone how great the food, drinks and service are. Shout out to our server, Lily, who was very attentive and had great recommendations. Hubby had the pork chops with sweet potato puree and I had the stuffed bell pepper with lamb in it. Both were delicious! The lemon pie home made ice cream was to die for. Try the Penicillin drink, it is very good! We Sar inside and the decor, flatware and even the water glasses were well thought out. There ate a coue of fire pits surrounded by comfy chairs outside. Looks like a fun place to gather with friends.

We had an amazing experience at Slowly. The restaurant feels relaxed and chilled. Service was excellent. I waitress was very polite and helpful with recommendations. Their Yandi’s chicken and the fall of the bone Lamb chop were tasteful and memorable. We are planning to come back to try other dishes.
