We came in as a party of 5 with a reservation and were seated right away by the host, which was unfortunately the only smooth part of the night. We ordered drinks first, then nachos for the table. We completely finished the entire appetizer before our drinks ever arrived. When our server (black hair, tattoos) finally came over with drinks, they weren't even ours -- she brought another table's order. Meanwhile, she spent most of the night standing around chatting at the bar while the host was the one who eventually brought us our actual drinks. After finally getting drinks, we sat there forever waiting for someone to take our food order. We were genuinely about to get up and ask when she finally walked over and asked if we "needed more time with the menu." It honestly felt like a joke at that point. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but not from our server of course. Most dishes were okay, but the carne asada was unbelievably chewy and the shrimp tasted burnt to a crisp. She never checked on our table once. I literally had to move empty plates to the edge of the table so they'd get picked up. Then the second the last person at the table put his fork down for a moment, she immediately asked if he was done so she could clear the plate. Right after that she said do u have room for dessert and we said no and she left and directly came back dropped the check. The bill was around $140, and instead of cashing us out, she spent another 15+ minutes hanging around the bar talking with a coworker and then the bartender behind the bar while one on their phone. I finally had to walk up and ask her to cash us out myself. Suddenly once the tip slip came out, her entire attitude changed to "thank you guys so much, hope everything was amazing!" I work in fine dining under a Michelin-star chef, and service like this would get someone fired immediately. I understand delays happen, especially with a bar, but the complete lack of communication, wrong drinks, disappearing server, and careless attitude made this experience absolutely awful. Half the restaurant was empty, so there really was no excuse. Tipped $20 which is the lowest i've EVER tipped but literally was so confused what we were tipping for. I'd rather of given that $20 to a millionaire that doesn't need it than her.

The interior leans moody with dim lighting and dark walls, balanced by bold, eye-catching murals. The bar lighting in particular makes it an inviting spot to gather and sets a great tone. We were warmly greeted by Tim upon arrival, who quickly showed us to our table with a few minutes to settle in and look over the menu. Our server, Begum, was friendly, attentive, and fully on board celebrating our 256th Taco Tuesday anniversary, which definitely added to the festivities of the night! We started with a chips + dips flight paired with margaritas. The chips came out hot and perfectly crisp. The standout was the queso with its rich, smoky flavor, and absolutely the one we kept going back to. The guacamole was decent, though we personally prefer a brighter profile with more lime, cilantro, and seasoning. The salsa brought some heat but landed somewhere in the middle overall. Taco Tuesday here is a solid deal at $4 per taco, and the variety made it easy to try several different options. Highlights and lowlights: The camaron (grilled blackened shrimp) taco was a bit underwhelming in flavor. The batatas (fried sweet potato) taco leaned sweet and savory and helped redeem things slightly. The clear winner, though, was the Ojai taco (agave lime fried Brussels sprouts) with jalapeño crema which absolutely delivered on flavor. I am thrilled when I find a new taco that surprises and intrigues me with flavor! From the other side of the table: the Josh Allen taco was declared "fire," though a meatier cut of chicken would have balanced out the heavier breading. The Baja fish taco was solid but not standout, and the carne asada was a bit too chewy. Our meal was rounded out with complimentary churros which was a real bonus for dessert. Don't skip out on this sweet treat. What really stood out was the overall vibe. The staff (including Bailey and Jackie) made it feel like more than just dinner. It was energetic, robust, and joyful experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back for another Taco Tuesday... or maybe to see what the Cinco de Mayo hype is all about.

The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.

That was reason enough to head downtown and check it out again. It was a lovely, cool end‑of‑summer evening, and while the interior of the restaurant has a very cool vibe and décor, the patio was calling to us. Dining outside overlooking Geva Theatre, Washington Square Park, and the bustling intersection made for a perfect setting as the sun went down. We started with the Street Corn dip. One of our diners is vegetarian, so we asked for the bacon on the side, which they gladly accommodated. The dip--loaded with queso fresco, mozzarella, cheddar, jalapeños, scallion, and served with crostini--was incredibly craveable. We couldn't stop eating it, and the portion size was spot‑on for sharing. For mains, we enjoyed the Pasta Primavera (The Pasta Shoppe bucatini, pesto, shaved Brussels sprouts, cherry tomato, mushrooms, gremolata). The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the light, summery sauce with fresh veggies and bright flavors made this dish a standout. We also had the Heritage Pork Chop (14oz bone‑in chop, Dennis cherry black BBQ, tri‑colored potatoes, seasonal veg). The chop itself was beautifully cooked and paired with a lovely sauce. It was fantastic--but the seasonal vegetables actually stole the show. They were incredible and elevated the entire dish. Service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly. Between the gorgeous patio, the great food, and the relaxed sunset atmosphere, it turned into a truly lovely dinner. We're not sure why it had been so long since our last visit, but we definitely plan to remedy that. Native delivered a wonderful meal in a perfect downtown setting.
