    Aftermath always delivers a terrific dining experience. We were seated on the patio and the service was great and well-paced. Burrata was lovely as was the salad. Love this spot!!

    Aftermath has had strong reviews so we were excited to try it for a small birthday gathering. We were put in a back/side room despite having reserved in advance on Open Table. No ambiance in that area. The main area seemed a bit better for vibe. The food was over-priced for the value received, the hamburgers that are raved about were dry and nothing special. Like so many places these days, you leave wondering how the bill got that high for pretty average food. One bright note was our server who was personable and tried hard. However, the food came out in in fits and starts with long gaps that seemed really bizarre given that the restaurant was not busy. Half the group of six had their mains well in advance of the other three. I do not think that we will be back. Bummer.

    We just had a very enjoyable meal at Aftermath. Kamryn was our server and she was excellent. She was attentive and gave us great input on our order choices. We enjoyed everything from the brussel sprouts to the burgers to the bread pudding dessert. Very trendy and comfortable atmosphere … and clean restrooms too! Great for date night or a family meal with older children (teens). Perhaps a little too upscale for young children.

    Absolutely loved our experience at Aftermath! The food was not only unique, but every dish felt thoughtfully crafted with top-tier ingredients—you can truly taste the quality. The cocktails were next-level: creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. What really sets Aftermath apart, though, is the vibe. The servers were warm, attentive, and made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. Can’t recommend it enough—this place nails it on all fronts.
