Nestled near the vibrant 9:30 Club, this restaurant boasts a cool ambience perfect for gathering with friends before a show. Diners rave about the delicious food, particularly the well-seasoned chicken and indulgent ice cream tacos. However, mixed reviews emerge regarding the brunch menu, drink sizes, and occasional noise levels. While the atmosphere dazzles, some patrons express disappointment in food execution, citing inconsistencies in dishes like Mofongo. Overall, it's a lively stop that combines tasty bites with a fun vibe, making it worthwhile to visit, especially for drinks and music.
