Correspondent Claire Perez with excellent review of CWS Bar + Kitchen in Downtown Lake Worth

To read the entire review by Claire Perez, quite lengthy and detailed, use this link. Below are two excerpts and information "If You Go":

      When 3-J Hospitality founder Jeff John and partners Jarred John and Brian Freed were scouting an expansion location for Stache, their 1920s-speakeasy-inspired concept, they looked beyond their Broward County roots and headed north to Lake Worth. The group made an industry splash in 2004 when it launched a multilevel entertainment complex in downtown Fort Lauderdale, now home to concert venue Revolution Live and nightclubs America's Backyard and Stache. In May, after much community anticipation and chatter, CWS Bar + Kitchen opened in downtown Lake Worth, in a spot previously occupied by Cottage restaurant. The monogram, short for "Charles William Stache," is based on a fictional character from the Prohibition era created by the owners.

     The restaurant's tag, "Damn Glad To Meet You," is stamped on waitstaff T-shirts, wall art and the website. It feels authentic. Service is relaxed, friendly and attentive. Hands-on general manager Anthony Savoia keeps a watchful eye on the flow and makes the rounds speaking with each table. It's a smart move, and a hospitable touch.
     CWS is a culinary feather in the downtown dining district's cap. I'll be back on a clear night for pork-belly sliders and, I hope, a vodka South Side.
