What an overall experience! The restaurant is beautiful inside and out, but the courtyard has amazing views (and it's covered!) that can't be beat. The overall ambiance in the courtyard in the evening can't be beat. The food, was amazing. We absolutely loved the selections and our steaks were cooked perfectly. I love the use of local ingredients. Our servers were so sweet and working so hard and doing a fabulous job. I'm so excited to go back for brunch!

The Press Room is a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of ambiance, creativity, and quality. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it an ideal spot for a casual night out or a more intimate gathering. The cocktail menu is both innovative and well crafted. The bartender was knowledgeable and passionate, always ready to recommend something tailored to your tastes. My favorite cocktail was the Tea Time, and my husband enjoyed the old fashioned weekly special. The Press Room is definitely worth a visit.
