Pretty good service overall. Nice ambiance. Enjoyed the outdoor seating the interior was nice as well. The food in general was okay. I wouldn't say anything extraordinary but it was a great experience and interesting mixture of food. We tried everything from the tacos to drinks and dessert and will give it a strong 7/10. read more

We had drinks and appetizers on Comedor's patio--what a fun experience! The restaurant made me feel like I was in Mexico City at Pujol--the restaurant vibe is very modern, and the food is creative and fun. I ordered a Comedor margarita, and it was great--even the salt had a special savory flavor. For appetizers (though I guess they could be entrees too!), we ordered the fish tacos and the avocado tostadas, and both were excellent. read more

Entrance is nondescript but once you open the door the interior is chic and welcoming to enjoy a good dinner. I came around 5pm so I didn't experience the darkness others did. We ordered a variety of dishes, really enjoyed the bone marrow tacos (had a little sweetness to them). Other dishes on the appetizers were a little bit too salty and spicy for our taste (but this is Mexican food!). I also enjoyed several of the clase azul reposado (the real reason I came here as that's been hard to find). Staff is great, and they explain everything we. read more

New restaurant that has a lot of potential but still needs to get their act together. - Their location on both Google Maps and Yelp shows it being in the middle of the intersection. And the fact that their door is black, barely marked and flushed against the wall, it's very hard to find the spot. - Menu is quite limited. There's like 7-ish for appetizers and another 7-ish for the entree. And that's about it. If one has dietary restrictions (religious or/and health) it's down to about 2 choices. - Wish portions would be a tad bigger or would come with a bigger side. - And this is going to be a controversial one: No free chips and salsa?! That being said, the food is quite delicious. There are definitely better classy-Nuevo Mexican restaurants in Dallas and OKC I've been to but being a new one I'm willing to give this one a second chance. Good luck! read more

holy moly!!! I came here for my birthday dinner and was so impressed by the service and food. We made reservations and when we arrived they handed me a comedor birthday card that the staff signed. When i booked the reservation i booked a high top not knowing what that meant. High tops are longer tables in the middle of the restaurant and can seat multiple parties . We were seating with two other couples with one chair in between each couple. Our server Michael was awesome and super knowledgeable. My husband loves mezcal and we didn't know where to start on their expansive list and he helped us choose some. He knew all about the origins of all of them and how we might like them. I hate mezcal but Michael suggested one and I ended up really liking it. I also got the repo ginger drink which was awesome. Michael explained that the menu was in order from lightest dish to heaviest dish and we went from there. We ordered the smoked tuna, octopus, shrimp tostada, the hominy salad, the quesadilla and the tacos de pescado! The tostada was the perfect bite!!! It was so good and flavorful--they also give you a napkin to cut it on if you share it! Hominy salad has a beet purée and my fav part are the corn nuts it adds the perfect crunch! There is also a dill oil they make which is soooo good and compliments everything so well. The quesadilla was easily the star of the show! I'm not the biggest mushroom fan but this was otherworldly. The cheese stretch, the mushrooms are marinated and seasoned to perfection and it comes with this AMAZING home made salsa. It's super rich--so keep that in mind. Lastly were the fish tacos. So good! Four of them come to an order. They are small and perfect to end a meal with. The fish is crispy, and there is charred purple cabbage that adds a smoky sweet flavor, of course accompanied with another great salsa. We thought we were too full for dessert but they had an affogato with Mexican vanilla ice cream and corn cookies that we had to try. The ice cream is so flavorful, cinnamon, vanilla and nice flaky salt. As for vibes I was wearing a jumpsuit and heels which was fine there were people dressed more casual but you can honestly wear whatever you feel like in this environment and be comfortable. The food was awesome but we had one of the best service experiences ever. The way the food was presented, the attentiveness to detail was spectacular. We got four dishes and dessert between the two of us we were stuffed!!! Roosevelt room is across the street and garage is next door great options for after dinner drinks! read more

Lotta hype. Overpriced for the food you get. Plate presentations are great. Got the sun choke. It was bland. Carrots were ok. The ceciche esque app was probably the best thing but still over priced, not substantial. Empanada had a nice crisp and texture to the bread but the inside was meh. The steak came hours later. Basically raw, not rare. How I liked it wasn't even asked. Tasted better reheated home. Worst part about it was they thought I dined and dashed and that was their excuse for bringing my bill so late. They never even came by to check let alone, you would think they would check if there were belongings on the table before you would assume I went to the restroom before I fled. I never even left the table the entire night. I mean why even say that at all. We got seated pretty easily too on a Friday evening. There isn't a wait for this let alone high demand and it shows. read more

Wow, what a quick turnaround. We started by meeting up with old friends and were looking for a place just to catch up. We chose the Comedor due to its location and a great name. We walked in and were instantly amazed at what was before us. We were promptly seated at the bar where we met with one of the best frontmen I've ever met, Seth. Seth started by making us feel welcome, like old friends, and excited by us being there. We reviewed the menu and were instantly brought on a journey through Oaxaca by Seth. The menu was explained, described, and immortalized by the passion, knowledge, and presentation by Seth. We selected five items and were impressed by each. We experienced warmth, spice, textured, depth, savory, and sweetness throughout the meal. Each dish had an exclamation point added by Seth and his knowledge and presentation. We had no expectations for the Comedor when we entered. By the time we left, it was a place of fond memories, delicious food, and energetic staff, and a fantastic encounter with Seth. I cannot recommend the Comedor more than five stars, but it deserves so much more. I cannot wait to come back! read more

I could write a novel about Comedor. A love letter, at the very least. The service and quality of food is some of the best in Austin. The restaurant itself is so beautiful and perfect on a day with great weather. We've been here a few times and I have two items I will continue to order every time: the bone marrow tacos and the chocolate tamal. They're thoughtfully prepared and I'm already dreaming about the next time I can eat them. Some of the items are unique, but don't let that spook you. There's a reason this gem is booked back to back every weekend - it's one of the best higher end spots in Austin. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Not worth the hype, especially not the price. Comedor was like most downtown, overpriced restaurants in Austin where the ambiance is great but the actual food is mid at best. Our reservation was at 7:30 and our last plate came out at after 9:30PM. After asking the staff multiple times to check on our dish because of the lack of communication, we finally got our plate with no apologies or any type of comp whatsoever. Had high hopes and left disappointed. read more

We went with a decent group of people for dinner. Pictures weren't taken just because it got so dark outside by the time we were getting our food so it wouldn't have turned out well. At first, the entrance was a little off putting because it was just a door with the word "Comedor" next to it. We weren't sure if we were going to the right place but the environment was much different by the time we went inside. One person in our group basically ordered almost everything. I guess you have to order it all at once, which was interesting considering everything comes out in order of the menu (lite to heavy). One of our party members had some sort of nut allergy, which they were very good at making sure she would enjoy some of the foods as well. The Comedor tequila was a huge hit on our table. I don't drink and had the non-alcoholic coconut mojito-style drink (can't remember the name for the life of me), which was also really good. The servers would ask if we would like more of a drink, but kinda forget half the time and we would have to remind them. The food is served and shared family style, so we all would pass it around and try a little bit of it. Everything we have tried, from the Cesar salad to the pork mole tamale to the NY steak, was really good. I don't think there was anything we tried that we didn't like. I will say that the dessert was a little bit of a downer compared to all of the meals we have had before that--I guess they just didn't "wow" us as much. If you want to have a fancy meal with lots of options, and like to share, this is a fun place to try! read more

The cocktails are amazing!!!! Tortilla weren't that great. The chicken was too salty. The tap water tasted pretty off. Tostada tasted a bit stale. There was a lot of touches that made the food ok but not great. Service was great and the ambiance was pretty nice. I will probably come back but only to have a nice cocktail. read more

For someone heading to the restaurant for the first time, the menu can be very intimidating (at least it was for me). But upon arrival, we were put at ease with best of class (and also personalized) service. The staff asked us questions, provided us information and did not hesitate to go over each of the menu items with us. I was beyond impressed. The atmosphere was fun/inviting and the food different than I expected (in a good way). I most enjoyed their ability to make fresh garnishes and well developed sauces shine on every dish! I would strongly recommend! And don't be afraid to have an honest conversation with whomever is taking care of you about what to order based on your preferences and how much to order. The sizes of the dishes vary as you go down the menu. Their signature fish is the none marrow tacos, but I loved the fruitful carrots and the whole grouper. read more

The food is pretty good and I highly recommend grabbing a drink next door at garage. We sat at the bar and had a great time with the Comedor bartenders who were generous and knowledgeable about their spirits. The grilled octopus was perfect and you have to try a dessert from their James Beard nominated pastry chef. We had a great time although for some reason it was FREEZING inside. Probably felt in the low 50s so cold! I have no idea why they keep it so cold when it's 70 outside. Otherwise, an enjoyable meal for sure. It's not the best Mexican food in Austin but it sure is good and I'm sure you'll have a nice time too. read more

The food was delicious and filling, but fyi this place is hidden and not by accident. When a worker saw my girlfriends and I walking past the door he asked what we were looking for and explained they only want people to dine there who "know where they're going". It was a little off-putting but the interior was so whimsical and stunning I forgot all about what he said until now. This is a tapas-style, upscale Mexican restaurant. I shared the Avocado Tostada, Tuna Aguachile and Texas Mushroom Quesadilla with a friend and it was the perfect amount of food. Plus the drinks were fresh and original. Will definitely dine here again and next time I'll know how to get there. read more

This should be a 4.5 star review. 5 is a bit high, but 4 is too low. Comedor is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin and has delivered consistently great food since it first opened. It's an absolutely beautiful space, the service is always excellent, and the cocktails are delicious. One thing I have never cared for is bone marrow. Comedor frequently pushes their bone marrow tacos on customers as the "house speciality". I fell into this trap on my first visit, and, unsurprisingly, didn't like them. My wife ordered different dishes that were all excellent, so we went back again, and again trying out other dishes. I haven't been disappointed since. In particular Comedor makes amazing mole. The Colorado mole, is my favorite, but they are all good. They make several, and I never pass up an opportunity have at least one, usually two. They also do vegetable dishes and raw fish extremely well. The menu has several options, usually between 15 to 18. The last three to four are large plates meant to be an entree. Typically there is a steak option, chicken option, fish option and vegetarian option. I have tried several and all were good, but I think the best way to eat at this restaurant is by exploring mutiple small plates. The dishes are creative, often using uncommon ingredients by American standards. I think this is where their kitchen truly shines. I have had two friends who told me they didn't like the restaurant, after their first visit. Both friends also ordered the bone marrow tacos, because they were told it was the house specialty. I encouraged them to go back and try the crudo/aguachile, some vegetarian dishes, and at least one mole. Both did and both texted me while at the restaurant to express how much they loved the meal. They now go back frequently. My last meal was outstanding: Avocado and beet tostada with salsa macha, hamachi crudo/aquchile, carrot tamale, and enfriojoladas with huitalcoche. For dessert we had a lemon and coconut pavlova which might have been the best dish of the evening. For dessert they frequently push the chocolate tamale. Again, not my favorite. I often find chocolate desserts too heavy to end a meal. If. you love chocolate go for it. If you like a refreshing and light dessert get that pavlova or whatever similar dessert they are offering and you won't be disappointed. They stopped doing brunch, but one of the best dishes I have ever had at any brunch anywhere in world, was their pan dulce plate. Chef Speer knows desserts and baking so no surprise, but he still deserves a big fucking high five for that plate. Pro tips: Unless you really like bone marrow, don't get those tacos. I'm sure a lot fo people like them, but I'm 3 for 3 on people skipping the bone marrow and going for mole. Check with your server about the spice level on the aguachile. It can be extremely hot, and if you don't like spicy it can be too much. If the carrot tamale is on the menu, order that fucker. I don't know if carrot allergies exist, but if they do, and you have a mild one, it's probably worth the bendryll after dinner to have ordered tried it. read more

This review is coming in a week later after my dining experience. It's impact is still heavy and truly made my trip to Austin one to remember. If you're into fine dining, and need a break from the classic bbq and Tex mex options, look no further than to Comedor. My friend brought me here knowing I was a huge foodie. He explained that this was one of the best restaurants in Austin. Sooo start with service review, impeccable from start to finish. I love coming in and having them explain the dishes, inspiration, dish recs, preparation details, what pairs with what, etc. Our server was ON it with giving accurate information and attending to us from start to finish... Now, on to the food!!! - Smoke tuna, octopus, shrimp tostada, cilantro emulsion, salsa macha 5/5 This dish, this was unreal and gave me an explosion of flavors that you just can't replicate. From the perfect textures and flavor of the dish with the salsa and emulsion that was so flavorful it was the star of dinner. -My second favorite was the SPICY SPICY SPICY Tuna aguachile, watermelon, Chile costeno, kelp chicharron 5/5 Warning: this had a spice level that would bring even those who can handle heat to tears. That being said, I gobbled down every delish hot bite with these playful flavors of watermelon and kelp lingering in the broth, it made for a killer entree. - A table favorite of both my friend and I was the Bone marrow tacos... 5/5 Rich flavor, dense full feeling after a few bites for me but overall a star of the night as well - We also got the Hominy salad consisting of maiz cacahauzintle, root vegetables, hoja santa 5/5 This dish was extremely filling and had crazy textures, there was so much complexity in this salad I could not get over it.. We also had the margs which were delicious, and some fish tacos that were good but honestly the first four dishes blew the tacos out of the water. Location is downtown Austin, inside vibe was industrial classy. I truly cannot explain how much dining here made my trip! Thank you again, and I will return bringing friends from my city next time! read more

Been saying I'm going to come here for so long, and I finally got it done. Yellow rose on tap -- let's go!!! The sushi tostada was great... so well done, I did it as one of the appetizers. This would be my go to. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Great dish. Truly the quesadilla was disappointing--bland. The tortilla shouldn't be the most flavorful thing associated with a quesadilla. I think Gordon Ramsey would have taken it out of his mouth in front of the waitress, and made a, "disgusted face". That same masa was used as the boat that my pork belly tacos came in. This was the dish I came to Comedor for. It was done wonderfully. Our table ate it all. Not the best in Austin, but it's the second best, and I'll be back to eat it again. All in all. 4 people we ate and drank a lot -- came out less than $300 including a good tip. Great value for what we got in my opinion. Kinda fake uppity though... trying to draw in a specific kind of clientele. They want a date crowd, not a loud group looking to have a good time. Nice place, well laid out, and the food is solid. read more

Comedor - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had to write this immediately afterwards so I wouldn't forget our experience and what we ordered. We came to Comedor to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, and we honestly couldn't have picked somewhere better. First off, they've done a great job with accommodating to COVID. Everyone was seated pretty far away from each other, and every single table had a bottle of hand sanitizer. Waiters wore masks, so it still felt like a personal dining experience. Our waitress was really kind and came frequently to ask us how we were doing and if we wanted more drinks. We ordered 4 things to share (it's recommended that you order plates to share with the table) and two cocktails. We both enjoyed our cocktails a lot. I can't really take strong alcohol, so my ancho-guajillo vodka was perfect. It was fruity and a bit heavy because of the mango. My boyfriend thought his drink was really well made too (Oaxaca Margarita). The food was phenomenal. We loved, loved, LOVED the pork belly. It was seriously one of the best pork dishes we've ever had in our entire lives. Everything was so well balanced, and the pork was tender. I'm not a huge fan of black beans, but you've got to try theirs. Pair it with the sauce because each bite will give a nice kick. We also really loved the tuna. It was a bit acidic and tart, but the crispy kale chips gave a nice texture to the soft tuna. I would say our least favorite picks of the night were the bone marrow tacos and the little salmon tostada chip. It wasn't to say that they weren't good, but they were less impressive than the other two dishes we ordered. I know the bone marrow tacos are probably what Comedor is famous for, but I'd actually pass on them next time I visit. The bone marrow was a bit too heavy and at some point, it felt like eating candle wax. That's strange for me to comment on because I'm a huge fan of bone marrow, but it wasn't doing it for me tonight. We were so impressed with Comedor. I highly recommend you visit and order the pork belly. My boyfriend isn't easily impressed by restaurants, but we couldn't stop complimenting the service, drinks, and food the entire time we were here. Thank you for a memorable dinner, Comedor! read more

Cool atmosphere and unique menu. The service was great and all the dishes that we ordered tasted great! I would definitely eat here again.

Tacos tacos tacos... The great thing about them is how many types there are. Today I wanted to talk about a unique variation I had during my visit at Comedor. What I got to eat was their Bone Marrow taco dish. If you haven't had bone marrow before, it's almost like butter, but a bit more nutty and sweet. Mix that with their pecan herbal sauce that was on top and WOW, the flavor explosion in your mouth is insane. So good! You simply scoop from the bone itself and place it on your tortilla. Now what I got for dessert is their Milcrepa dish which is made with layers of crepe, Mexican chocolate, crunchy almonds, pomegranate, and gelato. As a crepe guy, I was a huge fan. In terms of how big the bone marrow dish was, I recommend that you split it because that's what I did with my friend (and got an extra side of tortillas) and after eating dessert - we both left satisfied. It may not seem like a lot at first glance, but the bone marrow is really rich and heavy, so you'll be okay! All in all, I am a huge fan of the place. Yes, it's upscale, but it's worth it to come at least once for a night out with friends or date night because not only is the food delicious, but the ambiance is gorgeous and low lit (at night). Romi was my waitress, so ask for her! She was so nice. I definitely wanna come back to try other dishes! read more

Food was great, mostly. The half chicken entree came out RAW I'm sure it tastes good when cooked but ours was not and was returned. All the other entrees were great/tasty. They came out little by little, chef recommended(?) I also want to note portions were kinda small, however it was delicious. We went for dinner and as the night went on when the lights were dim the place got DARK, almost too dark(we sat in a booth). I'm a visual person, the plates were pretty but hard to take in visually lol read more

So this place is somewhere I had been super excited to go visit. However, they unfortunately are closed due to covid but that hasn't stopped them from sharing some of there delicious creations ! They have a delivery service or pick up option now I believe and I got to experience there bone marrow tacos. Which at first I thought was maybe a little weird but they were so tasty!!! You prep food for maybe 20 min and boom ready to eat ! I kind of like this idea better then takeout as sometimes I order and by that time it's not the same . So this is genius and highly recommend for a night in of great dining! read more

Comedor - Bone marrow tacos :) - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I cannot begin to describe how amazing this place is. It is truly worth all of the hype, I promise! It's a place to go with friends, where you can a bunch of plates to share (and split the bill because it adds up FAST!) and experience as much as possible. I recently tried the Taco Tasting happy hour option and it is worth five times the $25 price. Get there a few minutes before Happy Hour starts to secure a spot at the bar, because it fills up quickly! And get ready to have your tastebuds be delighted. Apparently it can change daily, but my tacos were fried fish, braised beet greens, carnitas, beef tongue, and an amazing dessert taco. SO. GOOD. On the regular menu the beef bone marrow tacos are the star, but every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. There wasn't a single bad bite on the menu! Plus their drinks are just perfect. I will definitely be back, and often. read more

So it's kinda tricky to find even if you're looking at it on a map, lol. Very discreet, we drove past it once and then managed to walk past it after we valeted the car! Ha! The interior is as sleek and modern and lovely as everyone raves about. The outdoor patio looked super cozy with blankets and standing heaters with lots of greenery. Def planning to come back for HH and try to snag an outdoor spot. Service was top notch. Our waiter Jared was on point! Some of the dishes really wowed me. Others I could definitely do with out. The ones I LOVED: big eye tuna and scallop crudo. Both were silky smooth in texture and the marinade was danky good with a definite kick for the tastebuds. The broccoli tamal was very good! The mother flipping bone marrow. Y'all. Full stop. So I'd never had bone marrow before. My boyfriend was afraid it wouldn't be my jam. He was wrong. I liked it soo much I almost fought him over the last bit (on his birthday dinner, AND he was paying- aka worst girlfriend ever) it's ok he loves me and we shared. The greens underneath the marrow had been charred with burnt butter I believe and while one could think they are merely a garnish they were a force to be reckoned with in and of themselves and I ate them all. Dishes I could live without: the heirloom tomato salad. It just was underwhelming to me. Alll I could taste was the hard masa pieces. For my main dish I ordered the Tilefish. This was partly my fault. I was thinking it was a white flaky light fish. Turns out the texture is more like lobster, dense and not my thing. The broth was one of miso and mushrooms, both of which I like but the dish was overall very earthy and I just didn't care for the textures and flavors. Should've gone for the beef option but how was I to know! Next time. The manfrand had the pork dish and I thought it was heavy handed on the Achiote or whatever it's called but it was pretty good. I had the vodka drink that went down like juice! And the Comedor margarita which was lovely. Boyfran had the martini and it was perfection for sipping. Chef sent out their avocado mouse and chocolate dessert concoction for my mans bday and it was delightful. So many things happening on the palate! We had already ordered the guava and chamomile option and were thrilled with both. So the bathroom situation was kinda disappointing to me. Yes it's gender neutral Bc that seems to be very important these days. Waited for one of the 4 doors to become open. The cells, I mean bathrooms, are something between what you'd find in prison and an airplane lavatory. Small, dark, cold, depressing. Maybe they thought if they made them this way they would become free quicker? Had a really lovely evening here. I understand their big eye tuna is on HH so I'll be back for that and an order of marrow and some dranks! read more

Have been to Comedor at least 10 times and each time is great. Great cocktails, amazing food, wonderful service, it's always a hit.

I'm between 2 and 3 for this. Bumped up to 3 for the good service. Food, was meh. Their Huauzontle Fritters were easily forgettable. The ash emulsion seemed like a cool thing to do, but for me, it fell flat on flavor. The Goat Barbecoa Tamal was nothing special, mainly to it lacking flavor which is kind of a problem. At $29, the bone marrow tacos, is stupid expensive. I love bone marrow and before Comedor, I have never paid more than $19 for it anywhere, and that includes major US cities like NYC, Chicago, and LA. Was it the thing we liked most out of the 3 dishes we tried, yes. Was there an ample amount of bone marrow making the price more palatable, yes. Do I like that the accompanying tortillas are made in house, yes. Do I wish the flour tortillas were bigger, yes. Do I wish the corn tortillas had any flavor at all, yes. Where there enough tortillas, not at all. Would I get this dish again, no. This is one of those, I'm glad I tried it, but I would not get it again. The place is undeniably cool. That said, I don't know if the architect or those who built it are to blame, but we came in on a super rainy night and they literally had buckets out trying to catch the rain as it was leaking through the ceiling, and along one side by the outside area, there were huge puddles we could see from the window. For drinks we got wine and beer. I refrained from any of their cocktails, mainly because their bar program is run by the same people behind Garage (cocktail bar) next door. Garage, very similarly to our Comedor experience, is cool on the outside, but not much else. Comedor is chic, the new hip kind in town coming on the scene last year and people are going to flock here. I think most will love it. For me however, I cannot say I won't return, but nothing we ate gave us any confidence or desire to return. Sadly I felt the same about Bonhomie (Speers previous venture). Comedor is a cool concept and I wish them well. read more

Another girls night dinner yields another yelp review! Anyways on our monthly dinner adventure we went out to check out the highly rated comedor and let me tell you the hype is there but the food wasn't mind blowing to me or the other ladies. The ambiance of the restaurant feels too upscale for Austin, it reminded me of a combination of a bar in brickell, Miami and an upscale restaurant in Dallas. The patio area is nice but the whole ambiance is dark super dark.... Jared our server provided a lot of help navigating the menu and thus we ordered about 5 small plates and an entree. The small plates were as follows: the scallop crudo, huauzontle fritters,masa spaetzle, chicken liver mousse, sotol-grilled carrots, and a yellowtail tuna aguachile. I think the table favorite was the masa spaetzle, it was pleasantly surprising with of its complex textures including corn nuts. The picture isn't instagram worth as it's brought in a black bowl and has been charred on top. They sure do like to put a kick to everything, If you don't like spice don't order the yellowtail aguachile it had a lot of kick to it. The fritters were good but lacked some textural notes and also were a bit over salted, I did enjoy the ash emulsion which was unique. Lastly one more note on the chicken liver mousse with churro and beets is that the flavors by themselves were good but combined together wasn't overall spectacular or my favorite. We ordered the pork belly entree which was large enough to share between the three of us. It's presented with two strips of pork belly, some shredded pork, pickled red onions, and a blue corn tortilla made in house. Same as the small plates is that it was good but nothing to rave about. Lastly we always end dinner with dessert and ordered the tres leches with corn milk. I was thoroughly impressed with the presentation, probably one of the most beautiful desserts I've seen. The corn milk poured into the dish upon arrival topped it all off. This was probably one of my favorites. It was worth the food adventure but I don't think I'll be back anytime soon, the prices are quiet high for the portions and nothing was overall super memorable. read more
