I can't speak for any of the other food, but I am willing to guess that it is also delicious. The restaurant is a cute casual local spot.

Always very interesting and cool wines on the list! The staff? Probably the friendliest people you ever did meet. If you end up there even twice in the same month, they'll likely recognise you and give you a hearty, friendly hello. I've come here multiple times, and generally tend to buy at least one bottle. I've especially loved coming when there's folks who are willing to foot the bill for the night out, so that I can enjoy the really good stuff they have on offer. In those cases, we order multiple bottles, and keep the cocktails coming. They automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill, so there's no chance you're going to fumble the tip at the end of the night. Assume that any price on the menu is 30% higher, on account of sales tax being over 6%, and automatic gratuity being 20% added to your bill. Early on when this place opened, the vibe was chill, and you could bring people and have a conversation and a really nice time tasting the various wines on offer. Lovely. Get a cocktail, and the bartenders will take care of it, and make it perfectly. So why the 1 star? As time went on, they decided to hire a DJ to come in and spin music. Cool no worries. Then the DJs decided it's REALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HEAR THE MUSIC YOU GUYS. SO LET'S BLAST IT AT EAR BLEEDING LEVELS. AND NO, THE STAFF WILL NOT REQUEST TO TURN IT DOWN. NOPE. WE GOTTA BLAST IT LIKE WE'RE IN A NIGHT CLUB. I thought maybe I had an off night, and it was one dude who had an agenda, so I went back a couple more times. Everything is gucci until the DJ shows up. Then all of a sudden you're all "WOW THE NOTES OF PLUM AND MINERALITY IN THIS WINE IS DELIGHTFUL!" "WHAT?" "I SAID THE NOTES OF PLUM AND MINERALITY IS DELIGHTFUL." "WHAT?" "WHAT?" If you're going to charge me in the neighbourhood of like $18 for a glass of wine or a cocktail, don't blast music like it's a freaking strip club and drown out any ability to have a conversation with the people I brought here thinking it's going to be a classy experience. If I wanted to go some place to shake my backside and dance to loud obnoxious music, I'd go to the other million and a half annoying loud places that exist already. Why they had to take such a delightful space, which had such a calm and peaceful vibe, and turn it into a trashy night club is beyond me, but I have zero desire to ever set foot in here again. The vibe sucks, and I'm not willing to spend that kind of money to be unable to hear the people I came with. I don't care about the DJ's agenda. The music should be a nice backdrop to the space, so that it enhances the mood, not stomps all over it like a herd of spooked cattle.

The restaurant is a beautiful corner spot with wonderful lighting and a warm, inviting ambiance. Since it was our first time trying Georgian cuisine, we decided to share a variety of appetizers. Everything was exceptional, but the fried mushroom salad, khinkali, imeruli, and beetroot hummus were the standouts. Of course, we had to try the famous Adjaruli Khachapuri, and it was every bit as decadent as people say! The service was very attentive. We were served by someone in training who was incredibly diligent, making sure to follow up on every question we had about the menu. Between the tasty food, warm service, and perfect location, we were delighted with our experience. We will definitely be back!

The full marks are there for the waiter, the layout/ambiance and the cocktails…read more Got in with a reservation (please do book a reservation if you're going on a weekend night, because this place can get pretty full pretty quickly), and we're seated pretty much instantly. If you're a party of six skinny people, you'll do just fine in the chairs. If you're fat Americans like us, it's going to be a tight squeeze. They do a really smart thing. The window seats are pushed a bit away from the windows, so that when the waiter comes to take your order, they don't block the middle aisle where people are trying to walk or carry stuff to tables. Brilliant idea, and one which I wish more would do. The chairs are those mid century modern rattan backed chrome bottomed office chair looking guys. They're comfortable enough, even for us fats, but the rattan was starting to wear out. Hopefully, they'll see to getting them serviced, because it makes the place look a bit ragged. The tables were a lovely size, with plenty of space for our drinks, our food, and the beautiful bespoke charger plates they had on the table with Sihana branding on it. They kept the TVs and other built in furniture from the old Kinjo that used to be here. When we went, the stuff on the TVs was pretty generic. This is fine. Not a lot of places know what to do with those TVs. Back when the location used to be KInjo, they played either K-dramas, Anime, or other such themed shows on there with subtitles, so that it keeps the place on theme. This is NOT an allergy friendly place. If you're vegan, you're going to get either the cocktails, or a dry salad. Also, there's cocktails that have honey, so watch out for that as well. The falafel sandwich, which should be vegan anywhere else you get it, has egg in it. Not ON it, but IN it. The fries are all cooked in shared oil. How shared is the oil? One of our table mates got a mild allergic reaction (she has a shellfish allergy), and had to grab a Benadryl when she got home. It wasn't bad enough for her eyes to close up and have to go to the hospital, but her face was getting flushed, and she started getting really itchy. I'm sure the food was fine. I've been with this group dining out several times. If they're seriously enjoying themselves, they'll usually be raving about what's on their plate, and let the waiter know how good it all was. That didn't happen here. Everyone LOVED the appetisers. That cheesy bread situation was a huge hit. The cocktails are strong, and beautifully made. Well balanced with the right blend of sweetness, tartness, and slight burn of alcohol. Absolutely no complaints there. When the bill came, there's a credit card processing fee. I'd say the place is good. Here's why they're getting full marks: The waiter let us know IMMEDIATELY that there will be nothing for me to eat. He didn't have to go to the kitchen to ask what was safe. He knew immediately that there's nothing at all on the menu that's safe for me. That level of knowledge tells me that you've got a waiter who takes pride in knowing his job, and does it to the best of his ability. You've got an absolute gem of a wait staff in general. I wasn't bothered, because I live very close by and can eat at home. Just know that I'll never set foot in there again. I'm not sure that anyone else would be too eager to go back either. I've been to steak houses that had more option.

When I was there, they had a DJ playing, and it added energy without being too loud or overwhelming. The Service was very good, the waiter answered and helped with all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.

The food was very good. I had the pita & hummus side and the Caesar salad. I like how they grind up the croutons into flakes; that's the only way I truly enjoy croutons. My friend had a fish burger and enjoyed it. I like the vibe of the place; lots of unique and sometimes odd photos framed on the walls. Plenty of soccer pics, of course, since they're next to a soccer stadium. We had a difficult start to our visit. I don't know if there was some confusion about our table or what, but as the extended, continuous wait for service dragged on, we considered leaving. Then the hostess, Rachel, noticed we still hadn't been served and came over and got our order. She then stopped by every five or ten minutes to see if we needed anything else, and took our food order too. I truly appreciate Rachel's assistance; she's a perfect employee and really turned around a potentially lame dining experience. Twenty minutes in, I'd have said I'm never coming back here, but the way she turned it around, I would visit Keeper's again.

Terrible attitude. Food is always inconsistent, so many changes, down to the bread the burger is on. No host staff, which I understand because business only picks during game days, but Ive been here plenty of times to find no one watching the door or caring about any impression. No servers around, the bartender in and out etc. Each time I've come, it only disappointed me more and more, no exaggeration. Nick, I believe is the only manager, and it looks to me like doesn't care about the place, the guests, or anything happening around him. I now go to Joia, a friendly and cute Portuguese spot up the block, where I find less BS and better service.

We asked for a microphone for speeches and an extra table for photos. The restaurant was able to receive our decorations as early as 10:30am for a 4:00pm event and disposed of them afterwards. Find out about the rooms before deciding which one you want. The Flamenco Room is on the main floor and is spacious and pleasant. The wine room is in the basement with steps. I'm told it's darker and smaller but it would be quieter and more private. I loved Mompou before our party and now I love it even more.

We shared several tapas...croquettes, calamari, veggie and chicken empanadas, olives, and the traditional paella. We ordered too much, as per. Everything was delicious. The paella rice was more of a risotto, but good nevertheless. The smoke detector was doing that annoying-ass low battery chirp the entire time. Not fun! Clean and efficient staff. Good drinks!
