Low Key has such marvelous potential, and while my husband, his family, myself really tried to love it- it is not quite there yet. To keep it short & sweet:
-Note that the menu on their website does not accurately reflect their current dishes.
The bartender/server was very polite and high energy with delectable mixology skills. Every single cocktail was delicious and well crafted and thought out.
-Atmosphere was a cross between a LED neon night club, urban oasis of tropical and moss creations, and, somehow, your in-law's fire place hearth living room. It was definitely bewildering and frigid inside, yet somehow welcoming.
The food came out in sporadic waves; sliders, bruschetta, housemade pickles, 3 tacos, and then 2 orders of pierogis (subsequently and respectively in that order.) While everything was served warm, the timing was less than favorable for solid C+ food.

I haven't been so pleasantly surprised by a restaurant in some time. Definitely worth checking out. Many items on the menu are portioned for sharing in a group, I wished our party was larger, so we could...
Read moreWe went early for some tacos and a cocktail (for my husband). The bartender was sweet enough to make me a "fancy" water since I'm pregnant and couldn't partake in their delicious sounding cocktail list. My husband really enjoyed the elevated version of a margarita he ordered. He really liked his avocado taco and I loved my maple chicken taco, perfect mix of sweet and spicy! It seems like they have a lot of fun events later in the evening. We will...
