Carsellula

I really enjoyed Carsellula.  It is a unique atmosphere with the restaurant area attached to a library.  We were seated in the lower level which would be great for a private party.  There was a live jazz band that started playing on the upper level while we were there and the music was piped down to where we were.  The entire upper level was packed when we left! 

The service started out slow but once we ordered food it was fast.  We ordered just about all of the plates/snacks that were shareable and it worked out great!  One of my favorites was the spread made out of buccala...it was unique but delicious.  The list of cheeses was overwhelming to us so we had the wait staff create a plate for us which was great!  The price point was not that bad...we ordered at least 12 small plates, 2 bottles of wine and several cocktails and our bill came to $80 each for a party of 7.  I am definitely going to keep this place in mind the next time they have live music or if we need somewhere for a medium-sized private party.

Superior Motors

Superior Motors is an old car dealership that has been completely renovated.  The interior has a lot of detail to it and is industrial.  There are not a lot of tables/seating available so reservations are highly recommended...and make them well in advance!  The drink menu had some pretty unique concoctions that were good, however, the bartender would not swap out the liquor in any of the drinks (someone in our party asked to have vodka vs gin which one would think would be easy to do!).  We shared quite a few appetizers which were very good...I would say that the favorite of the group was the grilled octopus and beef tartar.  The menu changes often which is appealing!  I would say that they need to re-think their dessert options.  We had 3 of them and nobody really liked any - which is a first!  They all were bland and had a weird consistency.  We will chalk that up to growing pains since they are a newer restaurant.
