Aperitif is an upscale neighborhood bar that brings a downtown experience to our customers' backyard in the University Hills complex. The drink program includes an extensive wine list, seasonally rotating cocktails, craft beer, kombucha, cider and seltzer. The food program focuses on petite, shareable desserts and also includes appetizers, sandwiches, salads and soups for a whole meal. Enjoy an evening on the terrace as you watch the sunset.
Two words: cocktails and sammies.
I think I just had the best grilled cheese-esque sandwich of my life and their cocktails are anything but ordinary. They are unique, inventive, delicious and artful. I also hear they have charcuterie boards but now that I ve tasted their Tomatoe soup and sandwiches, I am forever ruined for grilled cheeses and will likely never make it past that part of the menu. Super kind and great service, chill relaxed but elevated ambience. Upstairs. Reasonable prices for delish!! A great chill date or quiet place to meet some friends after work.

We had our baby shower at Apéritif yesterday, ~40 friends and family, and *everyone* complimented their favorite food items (deviled eggs, egg rolls, canapes, flatbreads), the seasonal decadent cocktails, and how spacious and nice the space was.
Several people outside of our party dined outside on the outdoor balcony patio while we had our festivities inside and there was zero issue with service accommodating all of us.
Jason and his team were helpful, kind, and on top of taking care of us the throughout all of it. Thank's again, y'all!!

I hosted a baby shower at Apéritif and it exceeded my expectations! The food, drinks, ambiance and customer service were top notch. Our guests had an amazing time. Highly recommend for small private events!

I imagine this place is great for people who live right by, but there is nothing else around so if you travel over there, it isn't worth being a single stop.
The interior is nice and it has some decent views. For food, we only had the charcuterie board which we enjoyed. The drinks were too watery for our tastes. Service was friendly and attentive.
Not sure if I would come again, but may be worth a check out for others.

Went on a Saturday afternoon and it was extremely quiet. Had an amazing and intimate experience. The ambience is great and the food was delicious. The highlight were the cocktails! Highly recommend the lavender one as pictured.

I love this place. Come several times a month. A very low-key casual, comfortable atmosphere to have a drink and something to eat with friends. Excellent sandwiches, the cheeseboard is always good, and we love the drinks.

Great cocktails, friendly service, and a nice environment. We were somewhat disappointed in the flavor and quality of the food.

Hosted my book club here today and the food was delicious. I was happy to see a vegan charcuterie board! Food was a bit slow getting to the table, but it was understandable given there were 9 of us but only two people working the restaurant. Food was well worth the wait!
