Dougie, the owner, treated us incredibly well and made the entire experience feel welcoming and personal. You can really tell how much care goes into this place. The drinks were delicious--creative, perfectly balanced, and very on-theme for the season. The food was just as impressive and complemented everything perfectly. We enjoyed every single bite and sip. This is one of those places you leave already planning your next visit, and we will absolutely be back. If you're looking for a festive spot with amazing food, fantastic drinks, and top-tier hospitality, Treehouse is it!

Came here for the Emerald City pop up and happy hour…read more Honestly, I might just be too old for the Sunday night/weekend crowd. I felt like it was too loud and the music was not my jam. For an event pop up, I thought maybe they would play some wicked music (even remixed) but it sort of felt like it was an afterthought. Even the "decorated" side of the bar was empty and not being served at that bar. I walked over to take pictures of that side but I wasn't sure I was supposed to lol. When we got there, we had to ask about the happy hour because it wasn't mentioned. When we got the okay, we ordered drinks and pizza. Only after I got back to my hotel did I noticed that the pizza rang in full price. The drinks were creative and fun but I wasn't sure ready to leave after a few loud minutes.

I ordered the "Dope Drip Original" Tamafongo, and a Chicken Empanada. The service was kind, and the food came out after about 10 minutes, which was a little longer than I would hope for, but still within acceptable limits. The Empanada was fresh from the fryer, and even 10 minutes after being handed it, it was still blindingly hot on the inside. This thing was well sized, and did not at all skimp on the protein! The thing was completely filled with a flavorful chicken, with just the right amount of spinach to add a flavor without becoming even a cousin of rabbit food (I'm a carnivore, if you didn't know!). Also, I don't know how it is prepared or what is added, but it is, true to form, tender and even a bit creamy! My only complaint is that the sauce requested carried a small extra charge, and was only a half-filled small ramekin. Speaking of tender, let me tell you about the Tamafongo! It was superbly well balanced! It also did not skimp on very tender beef, but at the same time has a corresponding amount of plantain for starch, sauce for added savory flavor, and the use of broth only served to help the ingredients get to know each other, and added moisture.Was this dish as mind blowing as something I'd had at The Purple Pig? No. It was, however, simple, homestyle cooking! When it comes to value, considering the portion sizes, $7 for the Tamafongo and $4 for the Empanada feels extremely reasonable. Besides, where can one find a good, filling meal that isn't all carbs and oil for $11? Final verdict: I think the most dope thing about Dope Drip is that they deliver on something that is increasingly hard to find. That being homestyle meals that are relatively guilt-free, at reasonable prices to boot!

I've been to Dope Drip Cafe in the past and had just an okay experience with the lechon rice bowl…read more However today was much better as I had the Jibarito steak sliders with a side of rice and a side salad. My order did not take long. I was told 10 minutes and I had it within 6 minutes. Everything was hot and well seasoned. I would come back again but would like try other items besides the jibaritos and rice bowls. Price wise it is a bit pricey coming out to ~$24 with a soda - but this feels like the going rate for non-fast food restaurants in the city.

We had the empanadas to start and then the short ribs, a burger, halibut, and lamb birria pierogies. Everything was delicious, beautifully spiced and elegantly presented. Honestly, the ambiance was a bit loud for us, but our server was extremely helpful and moved us away from a table with one incredibly boisterous fellow. They did so discreetly and quickly and our experience was much improved as a result. The restaurant itself is lovely, with beautiful decor and lighting.

They have seatings but we are just getting to go home. They are conveniently located on State Street not too far from the magnificent miles next to a couple good cafe/chocolate place, so to me this is happy land! We got the white rice base, bulgogi beef as protein, and all veggies plus the free seaweed. We got that ginger sauce. Their generous portion is sufficient for two person and their food is super fresh. We went at like 2 pm and still lots of random customers like us, so it will be a reflection on how their food is solid!

They are reasonably priced and worth every penny. The portions were large enough to split it with two people if you don't have a big appetite. It seemed like a small dine-in place with plenty of lighting coming in. We decided to grab the food to go to enjoy in the comfort of our hotel room. I wish they had one closer to home for me, which is Bay Area, California. Us Californians love our bowls and Korean food. Looking forward to having this again one day. I got the fireball for myself and my sister to share and it filled us both up! The flavors were so comforting and kicking at the same time with the spices. Yum.

The bouncers were extremely handsy with everyone and were visibly angry, even announcing "I hate white people". The venue itself is okay, but nothing special. For a group of around 100 people, they had one overworked bartender behind the bar. They weren't able to honor our reservation's start time, but I can guarantee they'll kick you out very promptly once your time is up! This is the epitome of a shithole with the people of the same caliber working there.

We waited like 5 minutes for a table but were seated at a small two person booth/table. Our server was pretty busy but attentive and knew a lot about the menu. We ordered the wedge salad and the yellowtail sushi roll. It was spicy and had a nice touch of yuzu on top and the fish was relatively fresh. The wedge salad had plenty of dressing on it and it was pretty good. For the main we got the Chilean sea bass which was very sweet and savory. The scallops had a perfect sear and they were pretty very rich and buttery. The broccolini was steamed and fresh. He finished off dinner with the crème brûlée and the Keylime pie, both of us we had to take home because we were so full. I think overall this experience is pleasant, not something very memorable, but I'm happy I've came here!
