Went to Names on Thursday! The music is super hype & caters to all, amazing vibes. Long wait to get in & the place is super packed. Drinks not crazy expensive. Overall fun experience.

Really cute environment for a birthday party or catching up with friends. However, the food is not its highlight. The martinis were excellent at 7$ each on Thursdays. We enjoyed the beef tartare & the arrosticinis. The focaccia is delicious - we ordered it 2x. The poireaux was good too but a very small portion. The salade fraîche was ok & the Crudo was too fishy for my taste.

Love this place! Beautiful little restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Good service & friendly staff. Food & drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the braised beef cavatelli! Definitely will be back, probably on a Thursday night for their 7$ martinis:)

Food was amazing. We had the fish cakes, fries & chicken. & you can't beat $1 oysters on Thursdays. Great vibe & the staff is very friendly. I'll definitely be back!
