Braised Short Rib.  Meat just melts in your mouth.
ChooChoo S.

What an incredible experience. This restaurant really nails that balance of authentic Mexican flavor with an upscale vibe. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The oysters were super fresh and delicious, and the seafood tostadas were unbelievable -- the octopus was honestly the star of the night. We also had fajitas, enchiladas, and tacos, and every dish came out flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The drinks were just as good as the food -- great cocktails and beautifully made. Service was excellent from beginning to end: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. What really impressed us was the value. For a place that feels this high-end and delivers this level of flavor, the pricing felt very reasonable -- you truly get an upscale dining experience without the over-the-top price tag. You can tell this place takes pride in quality and hospitality. Definitely one of the best upscale Mexican spots we've been to, and we'll absolutely be back.

Fajita tacos

The food was outstanding! We had fajita tacos, mole, and pulpo tacos. Even though they were super busy, we received amazing service!

Food was delicious. Dessert was delicious . The portions are a good size. Service was great. Atmosphere is chill and the background music was on point. Enjoyed my time and look forward to continued visits!

Also there's large covered dog friendly patio outside. Inside there's large, small, tables for seating plus seating around the bar. Walking in, you're basically transported into an adorable slice of paradise. Pathos plants adorn the bar area where you'll find a a tiki hut inspired ordering spot. There's eclectic artwork on the walls ranging from interesting portraits to beachy waves. The menu is filled with well balanced drinks with tropical themed names but they're not all rum drinks. They have a variety of drinks plus food as well. I ordered a Day-O Old Fashioned which was strong but incredibly well balanced, great to sip on while having enjoying the vibes. The gender neutral bathrooms are quite spacious, really clean, and actually something to make note of. The staff was friendly and they were knowledgeable of their craft. I will love to return to try more, there's so much on the menu to taste.

To be…read morehonest, I didn't even know about this place until moving nearby but it's definitely a hidden gem. They have a tropical speakeasy kinda vibe, and the staff has always been super friendly. I would recommend any of the cocktails, all the ones I've tried have been phenomenal. The old fashioned is executed well and the daiquiri was great considering I don't do sweet drinks often (this is where I get the speakeasy vibes from). I tried the wings and they were very good, try to go for their wing happy hour on Thursday from 5-7.

They do check IDs at the door, and it's Ssmall inside with intimate vibes, and plenty of outdoor seating. Great for a date night.. and I really like the furniture and decor. They have an Espresso Martini Drink on TAP and it's VERY GOOD. Service was quick and friendly. I read on their sign that they are doing a Steak Night soon, and I can't wait to see the pricing and how that tastes. Love that it's in my neighborhood, and such a fun place to go to. Check them out!

Stopped in for a drink after work, thankfully not too far away from where I work in downtown…read more A big win for me was that they have designated parking, I had parked but wasn't sure and then saw Dylan, bartender, and I asked him and he said I was fine in the parking lot next to the bar, and that they also had parking across the street on Enid St. For me that's one thing that's important is to have parking. Midtown with their questionable parking makes me not want to go. Upon entering, the place is a nice, intimate setting, with a handful of seating areas along with bar and outside seating. Recommend bringing a light jacket as it was a bit cold. The menu had a variety of offerings, and noted that all drinks are $12. They are card only, so bring your card or tap to pay and also your ID. Because they are 3 feet from a school and are considered a private club, they comply with TABC regulations to ensure safety and efficiency in their business. From the variety of the drinks, I opted for my signature drink, an Old Fashioned, it definitely had a bite to it. I slowly sipped on it while I lounged in one of the seating areas. My sister tried the Starduster Ranch Water, and she didn't like it, I had a sip of it and it tasted like only way I can describe is like soap. Saw that they also have Mocktails and THC Beverages, I didn't try any of them. We headed out as we were trying to grab dinner and Starduster doesn't currently offer food. I did get to speak with Dylan again outside and he clued me in on a couple of things they are planning to do such as having food trucks and also open the upstairs for additional space. Overall, I know being new (had just opened last week) there are many things being worked on and do hope that things improve here and they add additional seating, it got busy for a bit and seating was standing only. Thankfully I was there early enough and got a nice cozy seating area. I removed a star because both my drink and my sister weren't really anything special, it tasted like they were premade and poured from a tap, I missed seeing each one be made. I did like that there aren't TV's inside, it helps maintain the personal interactions natural and focused. Outside they do have TV's which makes sense for bigger groups. Though the seating is limited inside, likely to maintain it as a cozy and intimate space, outside has a lot of seating AND they are PET FRIENDLY! In cold weather without heating lamps, don't think anyone would really sit out there. Once spring and summer arrive, it will be nice. On their menu they indicate "Weekly Specials" Spaghetti Western Sundays Monday Night Steak Night (not sure why it wasn't happening the day I was there, would've enjoyed some steak) Tarot Tuesdays Whiskey Wednesday

We were able to get a reservation for the patio as the inside was completely booked up. When we arrived we were amazed at the gorgeous lights and festivity! The opening weekend was without heaters but fortunately it wasn't too cold. The servers mentioned that they were bringing in heaters in a few days. We enjoyed perusing their holiday themed menu and settled on our orders. I decided on the Carol Singer and J opted for the Coconut hot chocolate. I was happy to try these warmer drinks on a nippy day and they were both delicious! I loved the spiced warm cider taste of rage Carol Singer, though the standout of the night was the Coconut hot chocolate. The whipped cream was perfect for giving the hot chocolate Christmas feel while still getting a kick from the rum and amaretto mix. Our servers were attentive and very accommodating. They did inform us of another party coming in to the same table 2 hours after our reservation which was very reasonable and we appreciated the heads up. I've also had the chance to stop by outside the Christmas season and was blown away by the tasty drinks and reasonable prices. I will certainly be back here next year for the 2026 Miracle at Johnny's!

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.
