My husband & I love Neat Kitchen + Bar so much that we held out wedding reception here a few years ago. Tonight was the first time that my husband and I have been back to the restaurant since we lost our friend, the owner, Matt, back in November. Well, we truly could feel his spirit here tonight as we celebrated Valentine’s Day. We had a table in the room where we had our first dance as a married couple. We enjoyed their Valentine’s Date Night menu which had Prime Rib as one of the entree choices (which is one of the entrees we severed for our wedding.) Everything was absolutely perfect, just as Matt would make sure it would be, this is still one of my very favorite restaurants, and anyone who knows me, knows that is a very short list that is hard to get a spot on. Make sure if you stop in you ask for Ronan as he is the most perfect server for such a delightful meal. Their cocktails are always fantastic as well, I would recommend the Spiced Pear Martini or the Sunset Serpent. The Neat Burger is one of my favorite burgers of all time. For dessert I would recommend the Crème Brulé!!! Always perfect!!! And honestly they have the best Carrot Cake EVER!!!

We were there to celebrate my daughters birthday and had a great time! The food was great, especially the deserts! The waiter was so kind and attentive, he even over heard little things we said like needing more ketchup!

Nice ambience. Food was so-so. They charge for EVERYTHING. &2.50 for 4 hamburger pickles on the side was a little extreme.
