I came here the other night as I had been hearing really good things about Suffolk. To start, the decor and ambiance is incredible. Its very open and a great place to hang. The outdoor patio is even more incredible and has plenty of room so it never really feels crowded. I started with one of their beers think it was the Donington - one of Hyde's own brews. Really enjoyed it. Then I checked out their cocktail list - even MORE killer! I had come to try the beers but ended up falling in love with the inventive craft cocktails they had. I would recommend the Lime in the Coconut or the Hyde Daisy. Whether you are a cocktailer or a beer drinker - you cant go wrong with the beverages here. We also got a few bites to eat - peppers, potato croquettes and the smoked heirloom tomatoes. All of which were stellar.
Lastly, but what I consider to be most important was the service. Regardless of how good the drinks, ambiance or food is, if the service sucks, it can ruin a place. However, Hyde/Suffolk comes out on top in this department. When I first arrived, the bartender working - (Mike? i think was his name?) helped me find a beer he thought I would like and then introduced me to that tantalizing cocktail menu! Not only was he helpful and kind but he was very attentive even with the busy night he had been having - he's also easy on the eyes ;) I also met another bartender who said she had recently started with Suffolk but has worked in the industry for quite some time - just by watching her work and seeing her interacting with customers and the bar staff, you can tell that she knows what shes doing. She was very professional and on top of her game. Also was another incredibly nice person (Rachel? or Reagan?). Both of them were a class act & really worked hard to make sure everyone and everything was taken care of. No question, I will be back and am adding Hyde/Suffolk to my regular spot rotation :) Looking forward to enjoying many more nights here! Definitely a place to check out!
