We’re excited to be back at Chi Family Express on Saturday, May 30th from 5:30–8:30 PM after such a fun night last time! The crowd was amazing, and we loved the food and drinks so much that we’re extra excited to return.

Join Micro Spice for a laid-back evening of live acoustic music with familiar pop, indie, and jazz-influenced favorites featuring vocals, guitar, and sax. It’s the perfect excuse to grab dinner, enjoy a cocktail or beer, and settle in for an easy night out.
