UPDATE: I'm back…read moreagain! One thing I didn't mention before is that this spot is set up like a bazaar, with about 5 different food vendors all in one building, which makes it really fun if you like options. This time there was jazz playing which set a lovely mood. I tried Abyssinia Ethiopian Cuisine and got the combination plate: doro wat, beef tibs, cabbage, lentils, chickpeas, and spinach. Huge portion, took it to go, and the service was actually really nice. The food itself? Absolutely amazing. Great spice, flavorful chickpeas, tender cabbage with carrots and potatoes, balanced spinach, and doro wat felt like a little bonus treat. 10/10, no complaints. Then I made the mistake of going back to Soe's Kitchen for the mango sticky rice. The staff were short and dry (again), no smiles, no warmth, and it looked like they were annoyed I was there. The "sticky rice" was actually a mushy brown mess swimming in coconut milk with hard, unripe mango on top. Nary a grain of rice was found. It looked like it had been sitting there forever. I couldn't even eat it. This disappointed me bc I was very excited to try it, 0/10. ** I want to be clear, the International House itself is awesome. Lots of fun vendors, a cool vibe, and great options. Hence the 4 stars. I just can't recommend this particular mango sticky rice vendor.

We found out Thursdays are half-priced oyster days, so of course we had to try the chargrilled oysters... and they might be top 5 things I've eaten all year. Absolutely unreal. We also tried some new drinks and got an order of truffle fries. Unfortunately, those were pretty mid. They honestly tasted more like steak fries with parmesan sprinkled on top. They weren't bad, but they were a little underwhelming and lacked the truffle flavor I was hoping for. If you're drinking though, they're probably an easy snack to have on the table. The vibes were immaculate. Dim, cozy lighting, great music, not too crowded, and they were setting up for live music in the corner. Once that started, we ended up leaving because it was getting a little loud, but that's not taking away from my rating. I'm a fan of live everything, so I actually loved it. Love this place. No complaints. 9/10.

I stopped here on a Saturday night for a quick bite to eat with my sister. It's very dim lit inside and sometimes they do have a live dj or band. The bartenders are always attentive. The food came out pretty quick. The chicken egg rolls were fried perfectly. The chicken was tender, but I missed the cheesiness. The red sauce was good. Almost like a sweet and sour. I also didn't know city workers get discounts on Wednesday. Something to check out for sure!

Finally got the chance to try Bratts Hill for dinner and eat inside, and I was honestly blown away…read more From the outside, you would never expect such a beautiful interior. The space is intimate with a bar, cozy seating, warm lighting, and a great vibe. They had the garage door open, we caught a beautiful breeze, and even got a view of the fireworks that night. The staff was welcoming, the music was great, and the overall energy of the place was unmatched. We started with the saltfish fritters and lamb ribs. The fritters had a nice crunch with a flavorful filling and paired really well with the sauce they came with. But those lamb ribs... easily the highlight for me. I don't eat pork and haven't had ribs in years, so this was such a treat. They were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pickled cabbage on the side added the perfect balance. I could've ordered 10 plates of those and been happy. The oxtail ragu continued to raise the bar. A lot of places have you searching for the meat, but this was loaded with actual oxtail, almost more meat than pasta. You can tell this food is made with care. The sticky toffee pudding was the perfect ending. Warm spices, ice cream, and toffee [or butterscotch?] drizzle came together beautifully. It wasn't overly sweet, and I finished it before my friend could even get a bite. The chef even came out to introduce himself, and we had a great conversation. They also ended the meal with warm lavender hand towels, which was such a thoughtful touch. I already liked Bratts Hill, but dining in took it to another level. 10/10.

We all decided on something different and dessert was an absolute must. I wasn't the hungriet, I decided on lamb ribs , a side or rice and peas with gravy, the salt fish balls and for dessert I opted for the Brulee. I also tasted the toffee pudding. The ambiance was marvelous. The restaurant was packed and the wait staff was doing the absolute best. One of the cooks, Chris came out and chatted with us at the end of the night. He was eager to hear about our experience and expressed to us how sorry he was for the long waits. He mentioned Chef Darian being on Chef Ramsay's show and how that has made business pick up. The food was delicious , the flavors were authentic and I would definitely go back for another great meal. The restaurant was very clean and cozy.

The food is very good, especially the dips, which come in generous portions with lovely bread. But a few comments I've noticed myself or heard from other fans from the neighborhood. It's too sunny sitting by the windows at certain times. Some kind of window treatment is needed for those seats. The tables are 5 inches too close together. It makes it hard to walk to or from your table. There is nothing absorbing the noise. I thought this was an age related comment, but whenever I've been there the average age has been above 40, so if that's a large part of your client group, maybe figure out how to absorb some of the clatter, those window treatments mentioned above might help with that. We like to talk over our meals. The service is sporadic. For example, recently our mains arrived just as the apps had been placed on the table. Another visit it took forever to get the dips, and it wasn't that crowded then. It could be they don't have enough servers? Not sure. But it was odd. And we felt rushed as a result. It also seems like they needed the dishes back because they kept trying to take them when we were not finished, and no, we were not holding up the table, we were early for our reservation and didn't linger. I don't know why the lunch and dinner menus are so different. Can't they be combined into one? 3 stars, I'll be back, it's good food, but they could benefit from a little more thought about the "customer experience", which detracts from the food.
