    We went for lunch & shared charcuterie, cheese plate, & Trout Almondine. All were excellent. Our server, Makenzie, was delightful & attentive without being intrusive, and helpful with suggestions. The only negative was uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, we had a lovely leisurely lunch.

    Wife and I came here for my birthday dinner. We arrived about 4:45 and the doors were locked. It was cold so we went across the street to a store to stay warm. A few minutes later the sign was illuminated so we correctly deduced the doors were unlocked. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The don’t seat people until 5 (not complaining, website says they open at 5). We opted to sit near the bar, which was open and serving drinks. At 5 we were seated at a table near the back. Although the place is dark, our table was well lit. We even asked for the table number to request on our next visit. Our old eyes didn’t need phone flashlights to read the menu. Our waitress (Ashley) knew the menu and answered all of our questions. As the restaurant filled up, she had 5 other tables to serve around 18 diners. Two of the tables were pushed together to accommodate a large party. Service was relaxed but didn’t suffer because there were other employees to help out. We ordered drinks which came promptly. We each ordered the Wedge Salad which was a softball sized head of iceberg lettuce, halved and covered with deliciousness. We should have ordered one to split between us. Wife ordered the Pork Chop, I ordered the 8 oz. Filet Mignon. Both were delicious and done to perfection. Of course, the real reason we chose Butcher & Singer is the Lemon Icebox Pie. We opted to take it to go. All-in-all, a great experience. We’ll definitely be returning.

    I cannot recommend The Love enough…the food was excellent! Everything we ordered was superb! The drinks were delicious and unique. The service from everyone start to finish was top notch. I really liked the feel and look of this establishment, it’s inviting and warm. The music selection was complimentary. The crowd is a nice mix of people. Clean, spacious restrooms too! I LOVED everything! Can’t wait to go back

    One of my favorite center city cafes. Great food, drinks and it's beautiful. We had fried shrimp, Brussel sprouts, french onion soup, chicken ceasar salad. We also had a couple christmassy drinks. Everything fun and fabulous I go at least 4 times a year. I always bring someone because it's great
