What a great little taco shop. We came in during happy hour, not super crowded on a Saturday. Our…read moreserver was quick with helping out and suggesting things. We got the guac and chips, some ranch water and beer off the happy hour menu. All the tacos looked amazing. We had the carne asada, pork belly and a couple of fish tacos.

The restaurant has a nice big bar and lots of seating, very open feeling with its high ceilings.

I did not get any drinks, but my friends' drinks looked good. I would recommend going here!

Live Jazz tunes from a trio of very talented musicians entertained us for the evening. The owner Ethan was in attendance and was very attentive to every detail, making sure everyone was having a great time and even gave private tours to view the rooftop bar. The bar tenders were fantastic and attentive, and the prohibition era cocktails were great! I especially love how they went the extra step and made the old fashioned and served them in a flask, hidden in a faux Bible. The whole experience was phenomenal! Their Spirits speak for themselves! If you haven't done a tasting in the beautiful tasting room.. what are you waiting for? I can't wait for all the upcoming events like the Krampus celebration and many others!

This place is best for…read morelarger groups as there is limited seating in the sense that there are a few tables that seat 6+ people easily, but we went around 3pm when it wasn't busy so we didn't feel guilty taking one of the larger tables to ourselves when it was only half occupancy. We tried the bioluminescence drink and the toasty marshmallow latte. The bioluminescence drink is very aesthetic and drinks like a soda / energy drink, though it is a one and done for me as I don't feel the sparkles are the most healthy thing. The toasty marshmallow latte was a bit pricy at $7.50 but they had 3 pieces of toasted marshmallow that is perfect (s'mores like but not burnt) and there is a lot of drink. It was on the sweeter side for me. They have Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the side but it was a bit stale, but I won't be docking off a star as there's not much to it and everything else was delicious. We opted to dine in for the aesthetics and I'd recommend doing so as there's higher price point doesn't seem as worthwhile if you take these drinks to-go

My companion and I arrived during Happy Hour and these two selections are on that menu, so we had them again--and I guess the utility of this review is to say that these selections continue to be consistently delicious and that this is a wonderful place. We also shared an Afogato--vanilla gelato with decaf espresso poured over! Perfect, quite light after our meal and beautiful enough to paint as a watercolor. This is one of our easy go-to's when looking to dine out. We were happily helped by friendly bartenders, Nicole and Sie, who made great recommendations and great drinks for us. I especially loved the Mario Cicotti cocktail (an interesting variant of an Old Fashioned--including tobacco bitters and charred orange peel!--very interesting). And we enjoyed the beautiful, warm Montepulciano Nicole recommended. And they concocted a surprise drink for my dessert--I can't recall what it was--but it was lovely and came with a bunch of hearts! Consistently wonderful place in all ways, with lots of heart itself. In my opinion, what's not to love?

**Review for Ono Kitchen and Bar**…read more Ono Kitchen and Bar is a fantastic spot that offers Latin dance lessons on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 PM--highly recommended for anyone looking to learn some new moves! The watermelon and crispy pork belly starter was to die for: juicy and perfectly fried, truly heaven in your mouth. The kalua pork tacos were decent; the bao bun was perfectly fluffy like a cloud, but they were a bit greasy, making them slightly soggy. However, the flavor was still great. Our server answered our many questions about drinks and food. Overall, I recommend Ono Kitchen and Bar, especially for the dance lessons and for grabbing a few drinks and bites afterward.

"Back in the day" we had a few great Yelp events in this exact space! Anyway... we were glad we arrived early, and were able to snag one of the last tables for our group of 4. We ordered a couple of beers and (at the bartender's urging) got our food order in because they were starting to get slammed. The Dude enjoyed his tasty bao buns, and I slumped down a hearty bowl of hot noodle soup with chicken. It was all delicious! As showtime got closer, the place was packed full with comedy fans. The bar line got long, and we could tell the servers felt a little frantic. Maybe they weren't expecting such a huge crowd, but I feel like things would have gone more smoothly if they'd been able to upstaff for the event. It was a great show and nice to add yet another cool spot to my 26-in-26 Collection on Yelp!

I wasn't really into the Bao Tacos like I thought I would be, but I absolutely could not stop exclaiming over the Ahi Nachos and the Garlic Shrimp. In each instance, the sauce was spectacular! I was practically licking the basket when the food was gone. And the shrimp, themselves, were large, juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked--not a nanosecond over or under--just fabulous. Enjoyed the iced dessert: GURi GURi. All in all, another wonderful experience. Sweet place. Very Hawaiian feeling to me--love it.

Most importantly, the crepes were delicious and perfectly made, with ingredients that tasted fresh and high quality. If you're craving both sweet and salty, I recommend splitting these orders: - NW Sammie ($18.99): Wild caught Alaskan smoked salmon, dill cream cheese, pickled onion, & capers - the salmon was flavorful and well balanced. - Banana crème pie ($13.99): Sliced bananas with chocolate chips, banana cream topped with chocolate sauce & graham crackers - rich and decadent, perhaps a bit too sweet if you were eating it all by yourself but it hit the spot! I like how their menu gave many tried and true flavor combinations a creative twist. They can even make the crepes gluten-free for $2.50 extra! There is ample parking in the front lots that is metered during most business hours. The next time I return may be to try their notorious crepe eating challenge (26 crepes, 2 people, 1 hour)!
