    Hot dog - glizzie: massive and delicious
    Abha A.

    What a cool family friendly spot! This restaurant has live band, indoor and outdoor seating with access to a playground for little ones. It was a little chilly out so we couldn't take advantage of the outdoors but throughly enjoyed the indoor seating and the friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious, large and very filling! I would go back here again next time in town!

    Great atmosphere with quick service. You order from a QR code at the table and the food and drinks appear almost immediately like magic! The drinks were so good, especially the chica drink (not pictured). The elote was fantastic - just like I grew up eating in the southwest. The prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back.

    Delicious hot dog!

    My husband and I were looking to try a new place to add to our standard restaurant rotation, and the hot dog and fried equites balls on the menu were unique enough to make this place stand out amongst the many options. It's annoying to get to (due to lack of parking) unless you are walking there from the hospital or grounds, but the food was worth it. It seemed silly to have a hot dog at a Mexican restaurant, but it was a 10/10. The fish tacos were also SUPER good. The esquites balls were too weird texturally to live up to the real thing, but they weren't bad. The decor inside was nice, and it was laidback, with ordering at your table by QR code. We are excited to go back again soon.

    I love the outdoor patio, the brussels sprouts for my favorite thing I ordered. The burger surprisingly didn't have too much flavor, but was overall good. The Wings were decent quality and the sauce was pretty good. Overall enjoyed the food, but wasn't amazed. I feel like this place has really good drinks. I didn't get an alcoholic beverage this trip, would definitely be back to try some other things.

    Service was wonderful, Super friendly staff! You order from a QR code from your table and start a tab and pay from your phone. All our food was awesome. It was so good we ate before snagging a photo. We got the quesadilla and added chicken, a chicken bowl with rice, beans, and veggies and the queso as a starter. It's a chill vibe with a large screen on one side if you're wanting to watch a sports event and an outdoor patio for nice weather. We will definitely be coming back.

    Great spot near the UVA hospital if you're looking for Southern California eats. There's a parking garage 9th street SW. Definitely give it a try... oh?! and great outdoor seating too

    See all

    Went tonight with my daughter who is a total foodie! The…read moreservice was very personal with our server knowing every detail. The managing partner also came by our table very casually and friendly- I just googled their bios and its very interesting. So I wasn't sure I would like everything we ordered- I only wanted the beet salad. It was amazing!!!!!!! We also had the dip trio which I liked the hummus best with yummy bread. My daughter, her friend and her mom LOVED the calamari and said it was light and delicious. Lamb kebob was tasty. Desert chocoholic was scrumptious and the lemon granita was light and interesting with homemade cotton candy that we laughed looked like ratchet barbie hair but tasted so light. Absolutely delicious!

    SERVICE We came in for a belated Valentine's Day dinner,…read moreand the staff immediately seated us when we got int. Everyone was friendly and professional without being too formal. Our server served us waters and let us peruse the menu. Most spots will have the waiter come by and ask you how things are, and our waiter didn't come by at all after setting down the food which was interesting -- not good nor bad but probably were also busy. AMBIENCE The space felt upscale but still easygoing, which made it perfect for our Valentine's night out. There's no dress code, but most people looked like they'd put a little effort in, matching the polished but comfortable vibe. Loved the open kitchen all the way towards the back by the bookshelf area gave the room some energy without making it feel noisy. Definitely struck a great balance between date-night fancy and laid-back cool and casual. FOOD We started with the Beet Salad Ribbons and the Meze Trio. The beet salad mixed earthy ribbon-sheet beets with hazelnuts and a bright pomegranate vinaigrette that surprised me! Loved the pairing of the beets and cheese and hazelnut crunch. As a texture fan, this really hit the spot! It was colorful, fresh, and really well balanced. The Meze Trio had charred eggplant, a yogurt-goat cheese dip, and a seasonal hummus. Each had its own flavor and texture, and everything felt super fresh and well-seasoned. Favorite was the seasonal hummus. The yogurt-goat cheese dip was good but definitely sweeter than I personally perferred! The Calamari was also quite good and had decent number of chunky pieces that weren't just breading. The only small letdown was the pita bread since we had more dips than pita left. We expected refills might be complimentary, especially for a place like this, but they weren't. Not a big deal, just something that stood out in an otherwise smooth and thoughtful experience! The Manti Dumplings were a highlight too -- probably so much handwork in making these look like they do! The Sharondale mushrooms gave them a rich, savory flavor, and the pepper butter sauce added just the right touch of spice. The burger was also great -- juicy, flavorful, and paired with house fries and an amazing urfa pepper aioli. You could tell both dishes were elevated but still comforting, showing off the chef's fine-dining background in a really approachable way. For dessert, we shared the Baklava Cheesecake and a Chocolate Hazelnut special. The cheesecake was unique -- cheesecake filling sandwiched between baklava. It was delicious but not what I was expected! It was creamy and nutty with pistachio layers, and the chocolate dessert was incredibly rich without being heavy. Both were perfect finishes. We even took home the leftover goat cheese dip because it was that good. Overall, pices were a little on the higher side ($23-$29 for mains, $14 for dessert), but for the quality and thought put into every dish, it felt worth it and would come back again for a special occasion! This was definitely elevated ambience and the food was well executed in our opinion. I can see the hype! Definitely not a spot I'd frequent often but for the special days -- this is it to impress your date or family!
