    Everything was great we were seated right away, our server was on top of his game. And we went with the turkey special for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. The turkey was an ample amount, mashed potatoes and stuffing were phenomenal in the pie at the end was a large piece. The server was amazing very attentive and constantly checking on us. The restaurant is a little pricey but well worth it.

    I have been wanting to go here for a long time. Had Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was amazing! From my cranberry cinnamon gimlet to the amazing truffle at the end. It was served family style and it did not disappoint. The turkey was juicy and the pork cooked just perfectly. The sweet potato gratin was my favorite. I have left overs to enjoy today. The service was friendly and warm. Everyone around us was enjoying themselves and the ambiance delightful. A stellar performance!

    We used to be huge fans of Owen & Engine & can see now why this is becoming a local favorite.The place is beautifully lit and feels welcoming. Tuna tartare was very fresh as well as their specialty dish Ossobucco veal shank. Blood orange margaritas were definitely the hit of the evening. Christian & Lupe definitely made us feel part of their own family

    Appetizers- Shrimp and the crab stuffed peppers were amazingly good! Also, branzino and short ribs were delicious as well. We didnt like the special drink, but besides that the food was great. Service was on point as well. The only thing we dont like about Libertad is you come away smelling like the you were in the kitchen, because in a way you are. Restaurant needs to find a way to keep the smoke from the kitchen out of the restaurant. Dinner was also very pricey. But we will definitely go back
