Bites & Bubbles

The Write-Up

The full story

Bites and Bubbles pairs date-night polish with neighborhood warmth on North Mills Avenue, topped by a romantic rooftop lounge made for sunset. The butter candle with warm bread starts things off, the escargot is the dish guests call insane, and the duck fat Chef's Burger and spicy Ahi Tuna Stack show a kitchen that is playful and serious at once. Craft cocktails and an espresso martini carry the polished, charming mood out onto the roof.
