Shake and Muddle is a wonderful spot with amazing service and great seafood. The seasoning on all the food was perfection and the staff were the friendliest and most attentive we have had. They had great live music and outdoor seating with a fire pit. They even surprised with an amazing cheesecake for my birthday. The restaurant was also super clean and refreshing! We will definitely return.

You guys have to try Shake & Muddle! Hidden on the corner on 3rd. Avenue with fresh top shelf cocktails! I had the Ghost of Jalisco, which is the best-selling cocktail there! Bartenders are mixologists and deliver delicious drinks! Back for more and the food is delicious. The menu changes and never disapppoints!

I went for the first time on Sunday for brunch and before we left we were talking about coming again and who we'd love to bring! They do stop serving the brunch at 3pm on weekends. Dinner starts at 4. The menu offered a nice variety of classic American, Mexican, and various specialties. I had the classic eggs Bennie and it was delicious! The only negative is that the English muffin wasn't even warmed so next time I'd ask for it to be lightly toasted. The potatoes that came w it were perfection. My friend ordered the omelette that also came w potatoes and toast. Both dishes were around 15 I look forward to trying more menu items. The specialty drinks sounded delicious and run about 10.50 We ended up doing a bottle of sparkling wine that came with three infused syrups (lavender, passion fruit, mango) and berries to add to it (25) Nice bar inside, loved the art inside as well. Plenty of seating indoors and a great patio. The staff were courteous and professional. Our waiter came by just to refill our glasses! You can make reservations. I highly recommend. Perfect for families and a date. The restaurant is located on ground floor of Gateway building at H&3rd. There is ample parking in the structure on the 3rd Ave side. Told my mom about it and she went w two friends on Saturday night and they LOVED it. The food and portions were great and they had a jazz musician they all enjoyed.

Our server Enrique was outstanding! He was very professional and very attentive to our needs. Food is improving from a year ago ( per the chef menu will be updated in a week) and cocktails were the highlight of this place! Music was great ( Friday night was Mexican oldies ) and he was gladly taking requests. It was an anniversary celebration and I made a note to the host made no difference but I am glad the server save the day with a special dessert. As a whole! We are definitely coming back and can’t wait to try the new menu.

Found this spot accidentally. I can’t believe I’ve lived within a few miles and never knew! Dinner was superb. A fused variety of great eats full of flavor and colors. Ambience delightful. And staff was highly attentive with a casual cool vibe. Our server Nelli was a natural and made our experience even better! The chef even stopped by to check up on our table. Very personable gentleman. A humble act nowadays considered almost unseen. Absolutely I’ll be returning.

Awesome restaurant that has a menu that changes quarterly. When I stopped in it had just changed to Philippines inspired items and it didn't disappoint. I had the CHEESEBURGER LUMPIA and LECHON KAWALI DIRTY FRIES. Both of these items were very flavorful. Food came out hot and all together making the service great. More than enough seating as it wasn't too busy but we still made reservations just in case. The lighting was perfect and didn't create any glares on the tv screen while watching the baseball game. This restaurant is easily found as it's attached to the parking garage too. Make sure you stop by and taste the menu before it changes again. You'll be happy you did!

Absolutely loved this place! The drinks were fancy and delicious. We ordered almost every appetizer and each seemed to be more delicious than the last. We ate outside and had a lovely table fire pit. The atmosphere was perfect.
