    We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Optimist. Our server was Damien and he gave excellent service all night. All the food tasted amazing and it was perfectly coursed throughout the night. Additionally, Damien had a strong table presence that really made our night. We will definitely be back.

    Service was incredible. Food was delightful but a bit overpriced in my opinion. Overall, the breathtaking views were incredible and made the entire experience memorable.

    10/10 would recommend; it was a very elegant experience. I came to celebrate my birthday with my girl and the servers were extremely friendly, helpful, and respectful and never left us hanging or even with a slightly empty cup. We will most definitely be coming back!

    My boyfriend who is a chef and I, foodie, this was the best eating experience we have ever had in our lives. we were celebrating his birthday which happened to be valentine's day and a day in which C&S offered an AMAZING 'tour' of their food. our minds were completely blown so much so that we woke up thinking about our experience this morning. We cannot praise this restaurant enough. we have never in our lives seen such brilliant service. We will return again and get it again. As a matter of fact , we're going to nosh on our leftovers now! Special, SPECIAL acknowledgement to brilliant, expert server extraordinaire, Nayyah. (Please forgive any misspelling) . ♡

    The food at Two Urban Licks is always good and the service is friendly and prompt. We started with the chicken empanada appetizer which was delicious. My husband ordered the trout and I had the salmon. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We’re already talking about going back soon and bringing some friends with us!
