Nick Prum: Great jams, some solid hip hop. I recommend wearing a tank if your a dude, gets fuckin hot. Good shit.

Koncz Teréz: Good vibes, simply delicious food, awesome service, and a refreshing mixture of elegant interior and hip hop beats.
Tabi Yoo: A really beautiful + huge space serving delicious, authentic food. Favorites include: the baba ghanoush w fried pita, tomato & plum salad, grilled prawns, & the vanilla date crème brûlée for dessert!
Marcelo Garcia: Overrated. Had the lamb, the mushrooms, the scallops, and the babaganoush which was by far the best thing but then again you can make it at home or just get it at any middle eastern cafe.

Andrew Giel: the outdoor seating was awesome, played hip hop all night
Doug de Wet: Delicate in texture but bold in flavor, the crisp, smoky, spicy, tangy potato taquitos pair up well with a spicy rye old fashioned or a beer.
Adrian Phillips: Not just a wine bar, huge liquor selection and a few craft beers on tap. The bar menu is small but everything we had was delicious. The burger, the potato taquitos, dumplings, all perfect for sharing.
