    Fantastic guacamole trio and chips (mango, traditional, and pineapple)
    Anne S.

    Wow were we impressed by how upscale this place was. I picked a restaurant walking distance from downtown to eat at while seeing the holiday lights (techincally this was walking distance, but in the dark and cold my 6 year old was unimpressed by the walk). Inside is lovely, and there was live music on Saturday evening. We felt comfortable being there with a kid, but it also looked like a few tables were out for a date night. The music was a little loud, so we chose to sit in the back where it was fine. It was really cold though. The food was delicous. Started with complimentary potatoe flautas, which were fine. (They had sour cream on them which I hate. I wiped it off, but who knows how much more I would have liked them without it.) -Guacomole trio with traditional, pineapple, and mango guacomole's. All of them were great, but the pineapple was trully outstaning. I plan to return here because of how amazing the pineapple guacomole was. -Vegetarian fajitas with flour tortillas (no sour cream) and they were great, with a side of coconut rice which was just okay to me. -Kids quesadilla with Mexican rice, great expect that it had sour cream and crumbled cheese on top. This is great for fancy adults, but picky kids it's easier if they know exactly what to expect. Mexican rice was great. --Mojito was fantastic. Great service! Delicious food, and lovely space! Kid and baby friendly- They have a kids meal, high chairs and booster seats, and while they don't have a changing pad the bathrooms are both clean, large, single user spaces with good enough floor space for someone to lay out a changing mat.

    The margarita menu was very confusing to start. I asked for a shot of grand Marnier to add to my margarita and the server gave me grab gala instead. When I said I'm sorry I wanted grand Marnier she said that goes in the Cadillac margarita and I ordered the ultra premium. I was confused bc I ordered the shot separately so that shouldn't have mattered. The lime sour is not home made it's from a bottle so it wasn't good made the margarita super average. This restaurant doesn't give complimentary chips and salsa like every other Mexican restaurant. Paid for chips and queso and for a 3 oz side of salsa was $3. Way overpriced. We got one margarita and a side of cups and queso and our bill was $55!!!

    Steak salad

    The food was good but pricey for portion size. The pictures online do not compare to what I got. The calamari was the circumference of a quarter and some were the size of a dime. The calamari were the smallest I have ever had. The steak pieces were small but fat free.

    I saw pics of this place come across my Facebook feed and I've been waiting to try. We ended up having to be in Valparaiso and , so we stopped around 4 PM Before the dinner rush. The prices are higher but it's so worth the elevated ingredients and the food was just worth it. The Barbacoa tacos were the best and meatiest I've ever had. They bring out some complimentary flautas instead of chips. The house margaritas were on special that evening and very fresh and delicious! The coconut rice. Omg the COCONUT RICE! So amazing! The service was on point and now we were informed that they are opening another location with tequila bar in Merrillville! We are going to be back. Kudos to the chef!

    The chips with the micro amount of salsa and the $5 bowl of salsa they charged us for.

    My friend and I decided to try a new place, and needless to say we were both very disappointed, wont be returning, and definitely would not recommend this to our friends. Luckily we were starving and wanted to try a new place other than our regular spots. First, they made us sit outside, luckily it was warm when we arrived but we left as soon as we paid bc it was getting windy and we were cold. But the moral is we weren't even asked if we wanted to sit inside and there was no one inside. We ordered the chips and salsa, look at the pic. The ratio is WAY OFF. Needless to say we asked for more salsa and it was $5 extra. On top of that, the "fresh housemade" chips must have been made last week and left out bc they were chewy. I got the lobster burrito which was $27, not worth it, and small. So for a Dr.pepper, chips and salsa, and a burrito, I paid $41. I'm not sure how this place stays in business or how it has 4.2 stars, but like I said I won't be back, and I'd recommend going to just about any other one of the great Mexican places there are in valpo.

    Lobster benedict

    We had an outstanding brunch, 13 people and had impeccable service. I had the lobster benedict, loaded with lobster! The atmosphere was great for families, live music was so classy and made the birthday brunch extra special and memorable.

    Prices are outrageous based on the quality of food. There's alot better options locally for half the prices.

    Great food and the staff are out of this world. Seems they're moving to downtown Valpo, can't wait for them to reopen.

There are two doors and a step in between, and even I had to maneuver my way in and out. Just an FYI. The Press has a coffee shop inside of it. How nice! I didn't partake because the line was long, but the coffee smelled amazing. What a pleasant thing to be a bookstore that's also a coffee shop. There are some cozy couches and tables here and there among the stacks of books. I suppose you could take your cup of coffee and curl up on a couch or chair, because I saw one person doing that. But mostly: This is a bookstore, not so much a coffee shop or place to lounge. So I wouldn't visit with the intention of posting up and working for a few hours. This doesn't seem like that kind of place. Again, it's a bookstore first, a coffee shop second, a place to lounge third. Although The Press is a small bookstore, it has a nice children's section, with lots of books for kids and even graphic novels (my personal favorite). There is something for everyone here.
