So I have been going to this place since they open. I have recommend to several people including a…read morefamous artist visiting. And brought multiple groups here. I even recommended the owner for an award from the city that they won. I truly believed in this place. But over the years I have been noticing changes. I did not write about them because I understand running a restaurant is hard. But today was the last straw. I placed an order with uber eats. The courier was nice enough to text me and say they sold out of my meal. Allegedly the restaurant tried to contact me. When I called them directly they told me I needed to cancel because uber is a third party. This is why I am upset. I have been using uber for years. Different states and different countries. People have always been able to get a hold of me. Most of the time the receipt comes printed with your number. Second, they could of canceled the order and spare both my time and the courier time. The person was on a bike! My time was wasted because I had to go through prompts to get a person. But uber told me via bot that the restaurant needs to cancel otherwise, I would only receive a partial refund. I don't mind they ran out. I mind my time and the couriers were wasted because they didnt want to do the work to cancel. Now I feel embarrassed for supporting because they don't care.

Recent dined here, I had the catfish, rice and gravy and candied tabs, the food was delicious and…read moreseasoned well, I did feel the piece of fish was on the skimpy side(it was quite a thin filet; my sister got the fettuccini Alfredo w/chicken and enjoyed it (more flavorful than the typical Alfredo). I felt the street corn was overpriced, $12 for essentially one ear of corn cut into three pieces. We were there on a Monday before 6p so was not bust nor was the music too loud. I had no issue with the 20% gratuity (our service was good) but they have the nerve to still have a line for additional tip on the receipt (I normally tip 15-20%). I would return.

My friend had made reservations here for us at 8pm and told us they host Karaoke every Thursday…read more Unfortunately when we went they were not doing Karaoke night and we were told they stopped doing that for right now. Bummed bc that was the only reason we went. Either way, we ended up grabbing a few things to snack on such as a quesadilla, wings, mussels and chips and salsa. Wings were really delicious. Nice and crispy and very flavorful. There music was a VIBE! So many throwbacks and the ambiance was amazing. Im sure Karaoke wouldve made it top notch but either way had a good time and would come back if we are ever visiting again.

Salsa & Guacamole was passable but definitely not spicy. Hubby enjoyed his chicken birria tacos. Nice guys working the bar. A little pricy but not outrageous.

Went here the other night with 6 friends. We were excited to try the newly revamped space…read more We were nervous about getting a table, but then the place was empty, with a couple of people at the bar and 1 other table. What we got: - Gnocco fritto - Bruschetta - Arancini - Orecchiette - Bolognese - Sausage and lentils - Chicken parm - Skillet chicken - Radicchio salad We had high hopes, but besides the apps, everything was disappointing. How can you call yourself an Italian restaurant but not cook pasta correctly? The pasta for the Orecchiette, Chicken Parm, and Bolognese were all VERY overcooked. The pasta for the Bolognese was basically mush. We actually sent that dish back and came back just as overcooked. They need to figure out how to cook pasta. Service was also bad. Our apps and mains came out at different times. Water glasses went unfilled, and I had to go find salt and pepper on my own. Also, there were two employees, maybe a manager and kitchen staff, who were sitting at a table next to us doing event planning while talking on the phone on speakerphone. It really ruined the vibe. Slim chance we will go back. Very disappointing.

Overall, we had a really good time here. The weight staff is really nice and attentive. The space…read moreitself is very beautiful. One thing I wish was that the menu was a little bit bigger. There weren't many options for someone with dietary restrictions like me. The cocktails were not my favorite, but if you're into something a little more bitter, you should be fine. The Arancini was amazing! Not sure that I tasted squash, it almost tasted like a mac & cheese. Nonetheless, it was very good. The shrimp risotto was nice. The rice was very thick, but I would have it again. The chicken Parm was also very cute. Not too much sauce, which was perfect. I'd be interested to go back as the menu changes.

The outside of the restaurant-turned-club does look like its dive bar predecessor, but the inside is dark, classy, and cozy - with a good dose of flashy lights and bling after dark. Since it was a special event as part of the "dbarLIVE" series, we had to make reservations a few weeks in advance on Open Table -- no cover or minimum for the reservation. We had a table of 6 that eventually crammed 8 together in a booth right next to the stage and bar areas. I worried we'd be blasted by the speakers and lights, but the acoustics were robust but well balanced. Our server was great and had good recommendations for drinks and food. Both menus have a ton of options without being too overwhelming. I was especially impressed by how the staff expertly wove in and out of the tables and remained attentive during the performances. I am a slow drinker so I just got The Saint, which I would definitely recommend even though I don't usually get whiskey-based cocktails. (The Tall Man, who does love whiskey, also enjoyed it.) I had already eaten dinner, so I shared the Vietnamese fries and tuna ceviche with a friend. The fries did not quite hit home for me. I enjoy all of those flavors individually, but it ended up being too heavy with the sauces, and the fries got soggy in a way that wasn't that pleasant. (I do like poutine, so go figure.) I really enjoyed the freshness, flavors, and texture combinations of the ceviche, though. The winner of the night was the lemon tart by far -- smoky torched gooey meringue on a perfectly tart lemon filling and biscuit base. Definitely full of gluten and dairy but very worth the indulgence! I'd love to come back for a regular dinner here and would definitely return for a special event too. Parking in the lot is limited, but there's a good amount of street parking.

Parked around the back on a side street. Upon entry, I was surprised at how big the restaurant was. The music was jumping and they have a bunch of tv's with all sorts of sports playing (US Open). We were quickly seated and ordered some drinks. Our waitress was solid. She knew the menu and was on top of things from the start! We started with some drinks and mozzarella sticks (see pic). They were top notch delicious! The only issue was the number of sticks...only 4 but they were good! We then ordered our main dish. Again, the service was great and the wide amount of choices on the menu was fantastic. I had a BBQ chicken dinner with fries. We ordered two fish tacos and a chipotle turkey sandwich with some sides! BBQ Chicken- great taste and perfectly cooked Turkey Sandwich- just the right amount of sauce and fresh! Fish tacos- big and tasty! While we waited, we all realized how loud the music was. It was not terrible but it was louder than we were use to. Especially for a Sunday afternoon. Probably Sirius XM as the category was all the same and no stoppage! Our food came and we were all thrilled. I took some pictures of each plate before we ate and I am glad that I did because the food went quickly off the plates! Good stop....happy I visited! Vibe- casual Price- fair Parking- side streets and Dot Ave Staff- very nice

The owner is attentive and was present throughout the event. If you want to celebrate an event there is no place better. The options were plentiful. There was lasagna, rice, beans, chicken pasta, roasted pork, jerk chicken and the most delicious drinks. Reasonably priced so you can host your shower, rehearsal dinner, retirement, and birthday. I just want to find more reasons to celebrate so we can celebrate here.

The heart and soul of the restaurant, she's been keeping the neighborhood fed and warm for over twenty years! What made this place special was the way she sought to make it feel like you were a guest at her home - always accommodating, willing to bend over backward, and making sure you had a positive experience. I had the arroz con habichuelas last night. The beans tasted home cooked and delicious - clearly made with care. If you're in the area, make sure to visit. Thanks Norvia!
