Late night kitchen and bar. ''Lover is one of those bars that hits the right note and then holds it perfectly. The corner site is gorgeous, the cocktails are on point, and there’s a surprisingly robust food menu. It’s a sort of restaurant-bar hybrid really. The classic double threat.'' Urban List 2018. Kitchen open late on Friday and Saturday nights!

We had the four pillars experience. Food was tasty but there just wasn’t enough of it to go with a gin and tonic and 3 cocktails.

so dark could not see what you were eating. Hate QR code menus. (didn't even have paper menu back up for people who struggle with QR codes) Oysters were very average and gnocchi was good but very salty.
