A new hidden gem sake bar "Zen Sake Bar" has opened recently in this space. The renovated interior…read moreis warm and comfortable with bar and sofa seating. There is a good selection of premium sakes, Japanese whiskies and craft beers, and a small menu of well-executed Japanese dishes. This is a cozy and authentic spot for a date or if you want to have sophisticated drinks. There are no cocktails per se but they do make a good highball using premium whiskey. I recommend checking this place out soon before word spreads.

I was impressed by the look and the feel inside Zen Den, a small-ish (in the cozy sense) bar and…read moredancing area with a nice lounge in the back, DJ playing a nice mix of Top 40 and a good amount of Latin music. Drinks were reasonably priced but the whole experience falls apart at the bar. I went here on a Thursday night, and was floored by how terrible the bartenders were. There were two of them working, and I would say the place was just minorly crowded. It literally took about 10-15 minutes for the bartender to even ask me what I wanted (A beer and a simple mixed drink). He then proceeded to walk away inbetween each step of service... giving me the beer, putting ice in my glass, pouring my liquor, and then the mixer. Then when he was done, I waited a bit longer for him to allow me to pay. I was also surrounded by a group of others who were just standing around trying to close out their tabs (a process which involves the bartender giving the card to their manager who takes it back into the kitchen to run the card... which I'm sorry but is completely inefficient and takes too long and just looks shady). I left after my second drink because I could have fermented the vodka myself before getting served a third time. It's a shame because the space is well done and the music was, in my opinion, really good.

They have all types of appealing specials including happy hour drink prices after 8pm. To eat we started with the guacamole: it was fresh and I could tell that the chips were fresh as well. For dinner, I had the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. My entree was delicious and it was served nice and hot. The rice and beans had great flavor, but I wish my enchiladas were a little heftier. To drink I tried the classic mojito and a classic margarita. Both drinks were blended well, tasty, and strong. There were also people coming in just for drinks which speaks to the quality of the libations that this place has to offer. The service was also great. Our server was kind, attentive, and bilingual. I'd definitely go back.

Sometimes there's not. My wife and I have gone here a few times and each time it seems to be different. The last time we were there it was later in the night and we were hoping to order food. The place was packed and we were told that we needed to wait for a table to get served. Once we were finally seated, we were told the kitchen is closed. So we just had drinks and no food in our system.

I went to Mexcal Tequila Bar for Cinco de Mayo and it was a letdown. While it wasn't explicitly…read moreadvertised as Taco Tuesday, the promotion made it seem like there would be something special for the occasion, but there wasn't a single food or drink special. Based on past years and just general expectations for Cinco de Mayo, you'd expect at least some drink deals or themed offerings. The flyer is vague and ends up being misleading, it gets you in the door, but once you're seated, there's nothing different from a regular day. At minimum, there should have been some kind of special to match the holiday. This didn't live up to the expectations they set.

The pasta was very creamy and enjoyed the flavor. As someone who loves steak and is picky with how I receive it, I had ordered a porterhouse Medium Rare, the first one we received was overcooked to medium well and our server second guessed me when I brought it to attention. He had to call over another worker to double check and we had to ask once again if we were able to get it redone to our liking before even getting it replaced right away. The second porterhouse we received was done correctly and was seasoned well and had enough fat to make it buttery and melty. Espresso Martini was made well and for Whiskey Sours, if you like them on the smokier side, I would recommend it. All in all, we enjoyed all the food but the only set back for us was that we had to wait a little longer for our steak which we wanted to pair with our pasta. By the time it came out correctly, our pasta was already cold.

Celebrated my aunt's 70th birthday with a Sunday brunch at Sofia, and overall it was a really nice…read moreexperience--with a few things to keep in mind. We arrived right when they opened (perfect timing, especially with a snowstorm expected later that day), so the restaurant was still quiet. The space has a modern, upscale vibe that definitely feels suited for special occasions. It's located on a busy street, and while they do offer valet, we lucked out with free street parking since it was early. They offer a prix fixe brunch for $39 per person, which includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. It's a good way to experience the restaurant without committing to a full dinner price point--but be aware that quite a few items come with upcharges, and drinks are not included, so the bill can climb quickly. I do have a gluten allergy, and I was honestly surprised by how limited the gluten-free options were for a restaurant of this caliber. That said, I made it work: I started with a Bellini, had the sizzling slab of bacon as my appetizer, the recovery burger (no bun sub roasted potatoes as a side) as my main, and finished with the salted caramel gelato. Everything I had was enjoyable, but I would have appreciated more flexibility in the menu. The rest of the group (no dietary restrictions) had more variety to choose from and really enjoyed their meals, which is always a good sign. Service was attentive without being overbearing--likely helped by the fact that it wasn't too crowded yet--so we were able to relax and actually enjoy conversation, which made the celebration feel special. The restaurant also has a private back room that looks great for parties, plus a downstairs lounge area, which adds to its appeal as an event space. Overall, for me it's definitely more of a special occasion spot, and while the pricing is on the higher side for what you get, brunch feels like the best way to experience it. I'd come back again--but probably stick to brunch.
