This was the first time me and my girlfriend dined at The Love and it will definitely not be the last. We had reservations to sit in the dining area but the vibe was so great at the bar we chose to dine with the amazing bartender Willie! Drinks were made to perfection and his food recommendations were on par. This will be my new spot to dine with friend or even solo!
