“We try to aim for matching the vibe of the restaurant. We want people to have an excuse to go out after a long day of work, or maybe they get a nanny for the night and have an excuse to dress up.”- Floor manager Emma Ureña (pictured)
“Curated cocktails” and dinner cuisine served with a dress code, VIP booth, valet, and live music. That’s the vibe at Acapella by X, which opened “softly” last week in Fields Corner after a year-long renovation of the space that formerly housed the Blarney Stone.
