Amanda Shaffer: Order the french dip with lamb and goat cheese. If you want beef and swiss, go Phillipe's instead. Cole's also serves Guiness floats and bourbon pecan pie. Great decor, food is a bit overpriced. Read more.
Robert Moran: Get the Bourbon pecan pie a la mode.
Janice Fong: Bartenders make a nice bourbon honey drink

Ricky Sherrill: A nice selection of Top Shelf bourbon and a very good bar menu is a perfect way to end the day.
Adrian Phillips: Not just a wine bar, huge liquor selection and a few craft beers on tap. The bar menu is small but everything we had was delicious. The burger, the potato taquitos, dumplings, all perfect for sharing.
Rayshawn Williams: Grab a single burger during happy hour. You get the burger and fries for the cost of what the single burger would cost alone during regular hours.

Seafood Restaurant · Financial District · 68 tips and reviews
Marco Marano: Excellent service and old school decor....try the Chilean Sea Bass it's fresh and meaty. Also the Cherrystone Clams melt like butter. Fish and chips is also tasty especially if you are at the bar.
Eater: Premier seafood served in a recently renovated, modernized space. There's a raw bar, a tank with live ocean creatures, but do remember fresh fish will cost you. [Eater 38 Member]
TripExpert: Gravitate towards the raw bar at this seafood sanctuary. "Prepared in all manner of colourful ways – such as mint bass ceviche, or big-eye tuna with pomegranate couscous." -Rough Guide on TripExpert Read more.
