    Steak Quesadilla
    Kumara S.

    For our 5th anniversary, we decided to go to Ghost pepper. The live DJ played old school music that made for a nice vibe. For appetizers, we ordered elote. For entrees, we got steak birria tacos and steak quesadillas. Everything came out hot and it was delicious. Our server was bubbly and friendly. They were out of the dessert I wanted so we ended up getting churros for the kids. Overall great experience!!

    this place was pretty good! came in on a friday and it was surprisingly dead and was seated right away. cool vibe and decor. our waitress did not seem like she was having a great day lol but otherwise good service! queso was bland but cheese pull was nice, carnitas birria was super yummy, but fish taco was not good at all. my boyfriend loved his ground beef taco but he's boring! id try it again

    Alas, the search for the best tacos continues... There were some redeeming qualities, but the pork belly tacos weren't one of them. For a drink I ordered a classic margarita. This thing was strong! Here I am writing an hour later and I am still feeling the effects. It was a little sweet for my tasty, but a squeeze of the lime was all it took to balance that out. Nothing mind blowing, but for a classic marg, it fit the bill quite well! Where it comes to the Chicharrón (pork belly) taco plate, this had the makings of something great, but fell flat. The pork belly was a little too crisp (i.e. dry), though the flavors were there. A different manner of cooking is all it would take to make these incredible! Pork belly aside, the ingredients were well balanced, and there was a nice amount of freshness in the tacos. As for the guacamole, this more resembled a sauce than a mouthwatering and chunky guacamole. The taco plate comes with cilantro rice and beans. Cilantro rice was good! It was seasoned and cooked very well. The beans were... well, beans! Take it from me, unless you really love rice and beans, just get three tacos instead. For the Pupusas, these were remarkably unimpressive and uninspired. These were two griddled tortillas filled with a ground pork that other than a bit of salt had not much oomph or dimensionality. The sauce was a miss. It felt more like a pasta sauce, albeit a nice one, that was heated. The pickled cabbage was a nice touch to add some acidity, but not enough to lift this dish out of its pit of despair. The Churros were the winning dish that night. These were cooked to perfection with a light crisp exterior and a soft airy interior. The cinnamon sugar and caramel gave a lovely sweetness. Though, it seems most of the caramel was there to make the plate look pretty. Where it comes to the location, it was cool, colorful, modern, and bumping! Overall, I'd say this had more a lounge-with-food vibe than a restaurant. There is a large horseshoe bar in the center and tables around it. Most tables are for 2 people, though two tables were 4-person, and two could seat 8. Though at tables, space is at a premium because of how small they are. Music plays rather loudly, though I could swear it got quieter at 8:30 than it was at 6:00!

    Carnitas sent out separately

    I went here for brunch and the highlight was the service. Very friendly, helpful, and when my friend did not like the spicy espresso martini the server had a normal one made for no added cost. The food itself was nothing impressive. I got the Egg Benedict Carnitas and it did not come with the carnitas so I had to ask for it to be sent out separately. The potatoes were great, but everything else fell flat. The setup was nice, but it felt more like a restaurant meant for at night than brunch. Gluten Free: I called ahead of time and they confirmed they had gluten free options. The menu was not marked. When ordering I asked specifically about the Egg Benedict Carnitas. The server checked with the chef to confirm it was fine and I had no issues.

    The manager, Angelique, was great! Pre and during our event, she was attentive and accommodating! We hosted a holiday party here in the later half of December and everyone had a great time! The bar is a large oval and was packed out very quickly. We asked for a signature drink and mocktail for our guests that they were able to accommodate. The drinks were ok, but came with cute orchids. We ordered a number of dishes: fish and chicken tacos, chips and salsa, street corn, and wings. I thoroughly enjoyed the fried fish tacos that had lettuce, an aioli, and lime on it. The fish was perfectly fried and the aioli added the necessary flavor. The corn was a hit as well. I heard from others that the wings and chicken tacos were tasty as well. I'm sad I didn't get a picture of all the food because it all looked great. For dessert, we requested churros for our guests which were pipping hot out of the oil! The service from the waiters were great, the waitresses could've been more attentive and frequent to our party guests. But overall everyone enjoyed their time, especially the karoake by Chef! The parking can get tricky around here so arrive to your events early. Will definitely return.

    Oh how fun! And delicious! Just good vibes all around. I came here on a Friday night with a friend to check the place out. We ordered chips with salsa & guac to start. It was a good portion size and all tasted fresh. Then I ordered 3 different tacos but only made it through 2 as they were larger than expected and very filling! The carnitas and pork chorizo were delicious. I wanted to keep eating as everything was addicting but I was just too stuffed. There was Spanish music playing the whole time we were there (which I loved). My white sangria also hit the spot. I can't wait to come back and try more things off the menu!

    I had a great time at this place. I celebrated my birthday here. I went for brunch and everyone said their food was great. My steak plate was delicious. The drinks were great and so was the vibe and decor. The music w videos on the big screen was nice. It was slow at 12 but I wonder if it's more poppin in the evenings. It is a hidden gem.

    Went there for brunch with my cousins - but we were the vibe. Place is clean, the waitress was dry and not friendly. The place had no life for it to brunch spot. Just dry and leaving you wanting some music, dj, entertainment or something while you drank. The whole time we were there we was tryna plan our next move - where would we go spend our Sunday brunch money lol. The food was AMAZING, the drinks were on point and strong. Hope they add to their entertainment for Sundays so I can come back and give it 5 stars.

    Zero stars please! The worst food I've ever had! Ordered 1) Chips and Salsa - gave chopped tomatoes for salsa and the chips were stale and soggy. 2) Papas Bravas - was just sliced potatoes swimming in oil. 3) Shishito Peppers - I guess salt is expensive, right? Had no salt whatsoever. 4) Ghost Pepper Margarita- well it was potable! So, I guess I'll give them a star for that? Also, the server! Oh wow! He didn't even have courtesy to let us know that Kitchen was closing! So, why do you let us OpenTable at 9:30, if till the time you can come back to attend us for Entreé.

    The view of the bar.

    This is a fun and comfortable lounge with a young vibe and good small plates. The music is spirited and there was a party that looked like so much fun. Very satisfied with our experience.

    It's a cool environment and the food's decent. It's very overpriced. Be careful ordering margaritas, they will overcharge you.

The outside of the restaurant-turned-club does look like its dive bar predecessor, but the inside is dark, classy, and cozy - with a good dose of flashy lights and bling after dark. Since it was a special event as part of the "dbarLIVE" series, we had to make reservations a few weeks in advance on Open Table -- no cover or minimum for the reservation. We had a table of 6 that eventually crammed 8 together in a booth right next to the stage and bar areas. I worried we'd be blasted by the speakers and lights, but the acoustics were robust but well balanced. Our server was great and had good recommendations for drinks and food. Both menus have a ton of options without being too overwhelming. I was especially impressed by how the staff expertly wove in and out of the tables and remained attentive during the performances. I am a slow drinker so I just got The Saint, which I would definitely recommend even though I don't usually get whiskey-based cocktails. (The Tall Man, who does love whiskey, also enjoyed it.) I had already eaten dinner, so I shared the Vietnamese fries and tuna ceviche with a friend. The fries did not quite hit home for me. I enjoy all of those flavors individually, but it ended up being too heavy with the sauces, and the fries got soggy in a way that wasn't that pleasant. (I do like poutine, so go figure.) I really enjoyed the freshness, flavors, and texture combinations of the ceviche, though. The winner of the night was the lemon tart by far -- smoky torched gooey meringue on a perfectly tart lemon filling and biscuit base. Definitely full of gluten and dairy but very worth the indulgence! I'd love to come back for a regular dinner here and would definitely return for a special event too. Parking in the lot is limited, but there's a good amount of street parking.

    Went here the other night with 6 friends. We were excited to try the newly revamped space…read more We were nervous about getting a table, but then the place was empty, with a couple of people at the bar and 1 other table. What we got: - Gnocco fritto - Bruschetta - Arancini - Orecchiette - Bolognese - Sausage and lentils - Chicken parm - Skillet chicken - Radicchio salad We had high hopes, but besides the apps, everything was disappointing. How can you call yourself an Italian restaurant but not cook pasta correctly? The pasta for the Orecchiette, Chicken Parm, and Bolognese were all VERY overcooked. The pasta for the Bolognese was basically mush. We actually sent that dish back and came back just as overcooked. They need to figure out how to cook pasta. Service was also bad. Our apps and mains came out at different times. Water glasses went unfilled, and I had to go find salt and pepper on my own. Also, there were two employees, maybe a manager and kitchen staff, who were sitting at a table next to us doing event planning while talking on the phone on speakerphone. It really ruined the vibe. Slim chance we will go back. Very disappointing.

There weren't many options for someone with dietary restrictions like me. The cocktails were not my favorite, but if you're into something a little more bitter, you should be fine. The Arancini was amazing! Not sure that I tasted squash, it almost tasted like a mac & cheese. Nonetheless, it was very good. The shrimp risotto was nice. The rice was very thick, but I would have it again. The chicken Parm was also very cute. Not too much sauce, which was perfect. I'd be interested to go back as the menu changes.
