    Emotional Orange
    Sha T.

    Recently visited for happy hr. as me and my friends were bar crawling. They have select bites for discounted price. I was happy to see they had oysters but, they didn't have them available on this visit. Booooo. I didn't see anything else on the happy hr menu that piqued my interest. Although that was the end of my interest on bites, I took advantage of the happy hr cocktail menu. I went with the emotional orange. It reminded me of a jazzed up aperol spritz. It was tasty and boozy. The bartenders were pretty friendly and had many accouterments to craft beverages. The atmosphere was ok but, the music could've used a little help. I may give them another chance but, maybe I'd eye the regular menu on that visit.

    I really enjoyed randomly finding this spot. Their gold rush is delicious. Quick service. Cool bartenders. The music is great too. The music was the best as they play music ranging from r&b, rap, dembow, to throwbacks.

    Cool happy hour place for everyone's new favorite drink, The espresso martini! However please be aware they are pre-made with an inexpensive vodka that might leave you with a hangover the next day. Good happy hour food options as well but my chicken sliders were def made with old chicken. The chicken was brown and hard. Fries were good and very cool aesthetically pleasing bar. I would try it again, in hopes to have better food. Bartender service was very good though.

    Popped in here while it was raining to stay dry and we grabbed a seat at the bar and got drinks. They have an awesome happy hour that starts early (at least on Saturday's). I got a glass of wine and our bartender was really nice! Vibes were great and it was a good crowd for a Saturday afternoon! I would totally go back.

    $7 drinks and a weekend happy hour, what more could you ask for? Was attracted to the retro signage and came in to wait for my pants to be hemmed at Orchard Express. The bar has a lot of space, with a big back room. There are many places where you can stand and put down your drink, so you can tell it gets busy in here. I saw about 20 or so taps, so I figure it's a beer bar but had a cocktail instead along with the sliders (get the chicken ones.)

    $7 for a happy hour espresso martini is iconic. Quality espresso martinis too, not one of these watered down, low effort, danced on canned espresso martinis... Sorry a lot of descriptors there but they came from my soul. A reasonable happy hour from 4-7pm too. $7 at 6:59pm, $17 at 7:01pm. It really grinds my gears when places advertise a happy hour but it's from 4-6 M-F only... like I can't even physically make that. I guess I gotta go harder for financial freedom... I sat here at the Pretty Ricky's bar with my big homie, surrounded by Halloween decorations, ripping a couple $7 espresso martinis while just sitting there talking about life. Pretty Ricky's is doing inflation how Ilia Topuria did Max Holloway last night. Damn that hurt to even type. Tough to watch your heroes get sent to the shadow realm, but a $7 espresso martini helps take the pain away. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    Disco Shrimp: Resurrection and What Happened to the 9 Train
    Rosalie C.

    Came here with my finance for a quick drink and bite before a concert at Mercury Lounge last weekend. We ordered the Disco Shrimp: Resurrection and What Happened to the 9 Train to drink and shared fries, a kale salad and crispy chicken sandwich. I was super perplexed by the Disco Shrimp: Resurrection drink. The server described it as tasting like a chocolate covered strawberry margarita and she was spot on! This drink was so unique and very good. My finance also enjoyed his drink. The fries and sandwich were also good. I surprisingly enjoyed the kale salad more than I expected to. I mean it's a kale salad; what's so special? I find kale just ok and I would come back here just for this salad and disco shrimp cocktail alone. The service was great. We had two servers and they were both attentive and awesome. The windows and doors were open so it was a little hot but we're also in the middle of a heat wave so it is what it is. I'm not sure we'll be in the area again anytime soon but if we are I'll definitely stop by again. They have a few more unique cocktails that caught my eye.

    Chill vibes, fantastic fries, great happy hour until 7PM! I wasn't a fan of the gruner white wine but everything else was solid. Friendly service but had to flag her down after a while to try and pay!

    Happy Hour - Espresso Martini: community vodka, mr black coffee liqueur, cold brew ($6) & Sauvignon Blanc: Gotham Projects, FR ($6)
    Elena N.

    Date: Friday, January 12th, 2024 Time: around 5pm Party of: 3 What: Happy Hour (Tues to Fri 4pm to 7pm, Sat & Sun 2pm to 5pm) *1/2 Dozen Oysters: Mignonette, Cocktail Sauce ($6) *French Fries ($6) *Espresso Martini: community vodka, mr black coffee liqueur, cold brew ($6) x2 *Bunny Bravo | Espresso & Tonic: ilegal mezcal, amontillado sherry, spiced pear, cold brew fever tree tonic ($6) *Sauvignon Blanc: Gotham Projects, FR ($6) x2 *Jameson ($16) When we first arrived, it wasn't super busy, so we managed to easily grab three seats at the bar. (All the booths were taken.) Towards the end of our time here, it got busier, so we came at a good time. Everything above is from their HH menu except for the Jameson. In a world where inflation is driving up everything, $6 per HH item is awesome! I got the espresso martini and sauvignon blanc. The espresso martini was good. Not too sweet. The sauvignon blanc paired well with the oysters. Tho I'm a fan of smaller oysters, so these were on the bigger side for me. The fries were fine. Some fried food is always a good snack when drinking. If ordering straight whisky / scotch, I would recommend going for the higher shelf stuff as it is reasonably priced. I can't remember what we asked about (maybe the oban 14?), but the price was the same as a pour of jameson. (We figured the jameson would be cheaper, but it was the same price.) Great HH spot. The bartender was nice and attentive without being overly so. Definitely worth checking out.

    Miguel was the best bartender I've ever seen in my existence of living. He was so kind he was so nice and he made my drink so good. I don't know who the manager is of that establishment but he needs to give Miguel a raise. Also on top of that, the social media manager girl Keeley took photos of us and she ate that up real bad and she ate that me and my friends will definitely back to get more drinks and inside it looks a little bit frat ish because of the people who come in, but other than that, it's a great vibe 10 out of 10 I'm coming back

    I popped in here on a Sunday with some friends. The server recognized my friend because he's a a regular, so we were greeted warmly! I got a cider ($9) which I enjoyed. The bathroom is downstairs in the back and there are 4 single stalls. There also another bar area in the back.

    Great spot for happy hour especially when the weather is nice. They open all the windows by the street so you have this nice breeze and good lighting all throughout the restaurant. Oysters for happy hour was $1.25 each which isn't bad at all. The oysters tasted fresh! (I wish I could bring some Thai seafood sauce and fried shallots to eat the oysters with lol my fav way to eat oysters. Cocktails were delicious but I observed that my espresso martini didn't have 3 beans on top for symbolism. Nbd was just an observation. The drink was still yummy and got me feeling pretty nice. My friends ordered sliders which they said was good. Service was also really great! 9/10 I do recommend!

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.

Got a cozy window seating and loved the ambiance thanks to their floral interiors along with holiday ligthing right next to our table. Noise levels on the quiet side and easy to have conversations. They have a decent kids menu, and the Chicken Fingers ($10) were perfect for our little one. Huevos Rancheros ($19), and Vegetarian Omelette ($19) which was served with home fries and tossed salad was a good portion. Kimbo Coffee ($4.25) was actually pretty good although would've loved it to be warmer. Refills were slow to come. Food was inline with our expectations. Food arrived within 8-10 mins of placing our order, so yeah, really quick! Our initial server/waiter wasn't that attentive but their crew members were definitely more alert. Overall, pretty decent experience.

So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner.

Walking in, it's a stunning restaurant and on this night, not too crowded which made us wonder why they would seat us next to the servers station away from dozens of much nicer tables. Note that I booked through Open Table where I have Gold status which I thought meant you get a better table. Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak. My wife had two small dishes which she wasn't as thrilled with, Grilled Artichokes which were too dry for her liking and Manti, which she liked. Main takeaways. Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
