    Tacos and empanadas
    Delia E.

    Had the opportunity to celebrate my birthday at El Balcon in Ontario and the food was amazing. The day we went was Cinco de Mayo, so the restaurant was mainly serving appetizer-style plates and tapas, but honestly it made it perfect for sharing different items with the table. Everything we had was very flavorful and well presented. They did such an incredible job with the aesthetic, design, and overall ambiance of this location. The space feels upscale, well thought out, and beautifully done. As the night went on, they brought in a DJ which completely elevated the atmosphere. The bar is beautiful and the drinks coming out looked phenomenal. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a great vibe, good food, and a beautiful new spot in th

    Steak with chimichurri

    Food was really good. The ambience is really good. They have a DJ so it's pretty fun to keep it lively entertainment. The tables are really tight next to each other. They might as well make one long family style all the way around the service is good. They're trying their best to navigate around the tight tables with their food is really good. It's located in a great area downstairs there's a speakeasy that's super fun. Also not sure if it's the same owner but a great overall experience must try by the way I had their steak with chimichurri.

    Great place for a date night. Music was cool, cool ambiance, and very good food. Drinks were on point.

    Food wasn't good at all

    I really gave a good score considering everything but our waiter Kevin was really nice and the overall ambiance is pretty. The place has so much potential but it really lacked a lot. The food was not good, our fries were literally cold inside. How do u mess up fries? The food was really lackluster and bland. We got the empanadas drowned in some weird sauce and still tasted bland. The bao buns were also cold and lacked any flavor whatsoever. The drinks were verrrrryyy weak and one even tasted like pure cough drop medicine, shout out to the lychee drink.... do not get it. We ended up just ordering shots of alcohol bc u can't mess that up right? The bartender looked like he was barely 21 so he prolly didn't know what he was doing. Sad bc we went for a girls night/bday and just expected more. Won't be coming back

    I visited this place last night. The atmosphere was good overall, although it was a bit noisy and there wasn't enough space for dancing, which made it somewhat uncomfortable. One of the bartenders, a tall, slim gentleman, seemed to be focused on only a couple of customers. We tried several times to get his attention, but he never acknowledged us or offered service. I would recommend paying closer attention to all guests at the bar to ensure everyone feels attended to. Other than that, everything else was very good, and I had a pleasant experience.

    Such a fun spot! Great music, good vibes, and super friendly service. The drinks came out fast and were really good. We ordered the empanadas, fresh shrimp ceviche, and truffle parmesan fries. The empanadas had a nice spicy kick (which I loved). As for the drinks we ordered La Peligrosa, Dancing Bear and an Espresso Martini, Everything was delicious. We sat at the bar since the tables were full and Brandon took great care of us, he was very attentive and welcoming. We also got to meet the owners, which made the experience even better. It's a small, family-owned, women-owned business, and you can really feel the care they put into the place. ALSO, they carry additive-free tequilas! Which is great if you don't want a hangover. Definitely coming back and bringing friends next time.

    Great rooftop spot! The food was excellent, especially the steak skewers and empanadas -- both were seriously delicious. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere up on the rooftop makes it a great place to hang out. Definitely recommend checking it out. Great rooftop spot!

    If you're looking for the perfect rooftop vibe, El Balcón is it. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is classy, intimate, and beautifully designed. The aesthetic is stunning -- from the glowing logo wall to the artistic murals -- it's definitely a whole vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the sides, and everything was plated beautifully. The fresh salad and appetizers were full of flavor and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can tell they take pride in their presentation and taste. The cocktails were just as impressive -- perfectly balanced and crafted with care. Everything from the drinks to the atmosphere made it feel like a special night out. Great service, great energy, amazing food. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it for date night, girls' night, or any special occasion!

    Nice place, good service, with tasty food and drinks. Minus 2 stars however because my $150 dollar tomahawk came well done, instead of medium rare as requested. I guess my expectation of a $150 dollar steak, is that it would come out perfect. I'll try something else next time.

    This is a very cute place. I would definitely go back. The vibes and ambiance are fun. A DJ was setting up as my friend and I were leaving. They said it's a small menu for now since they are newer but planning to expand soon. Food and drinks were good. Had to wait a while to be seated even though we had reservations and it wasn't that crowded, felt like we had been forgotten about but still a good experience.

    We stopped by on a Sunday evening to check out this speakeasy and were surprised to find they had a…read morelive DJ that night for their CREAM Sundays event. They even offer a special cocktail menu just for these evenings. None of the featured drinks seemed appealing to us, so I ordered a Lemon Drop while my husband went with an Old Fashioned. The space is intimate, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a New Mexico inspired vibe that gives it a unique touch. The bartender was super nice, and the music was great all night. It was definitely more of a lively atmosphere, so conversation was a bit difficult at times due to the volume, but we still had a wonderful time enjoying the drinks and music. Overall, it was a fun experience, and we're glad we stopped by. We'd love to come back on a non Sunday evening to experience the speakeasy in a different setting.

They dont allow any food to be brought in which is crazy because you are in a food hall. So plan accordingly. They do serve unlimited amounts of their popcorn which tasted pretty good. They have some heat to them!! This is like an Arizona or Mew Mexo themed type speakeasy. I love their decor. With the fireplace and the animal skulls and animal skins everywhere. I just love how it looked. Theres an exit to the outside patio area which is nice, since this place stays open longer than most of the shops in Haven City. Only problem is if theyre playing music outside, every time the door opens it is so loud!! Like annoyingly blow my ear drums loud. Their drinks are very southwest themed. They have a lot of drink options to choose from. We ordered their blue sky and silver cloud. Presentation looked pretty. But the drinks were not that great. I had their silver cloud which had a mango foam on top. Tasted great, till you mixed it into the drink. The drink was way to smokey. It was so smokey it was almost bitter. I get a little smoke. But it was way too much. Any notes of mango or fruit or sweetness was lost in the smoke. The blue sky looked pretty. But after having a sip of the silver cloud it killed my taste buds. I couldn't taste anything in the blue sky. After our first round of drinks we were done. Had to go home and make myself an extremely sweet drink to get my taste buds back..... its a great concept. The price point is reasonable. 16 dollars for each drink. I do love the decor. But the vibes from the outside is distracting. If your into mezcals and smokey drinks this place is for you. But it unfortunately was not my cup of tea.

Thank the Lord we were only a few doors down, we never would have made it in our heels. My reservation that I made changed 3 times, only to add more people to our reservation that same day. Never once did they complain or state that they could not accommodate us. Once we all trickled in, it was about 18 people. Our tables were ready. I believe our waitress name was Jude, but nonetheless, she definitely was a jewel. She informed us that they were short staff, but she would take our orders. She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point. Sorry no pictures, by the time we thought about it, you would've just had pictures of empty plates.

We get wristbands and assigned a table. We were told to wait in another line but we were let in shortly after. We bypass the 80's bar and go to a back room to make it feel like a "speakeasy." They gave us some ground rules and led us to our tables. At the table you have a QR code where you can place drink orders. The bar brings out your drinks to the table. Service was fairly quick and friendly. The drinks were all sweet cocktails and in the "Matterhorn Lodge" theme. There is a 2 drink minimum purchase (per guest) and each drink is $20+ so it can add up. I'm more of a beer person but some of the drinks were delicious. There was one that tasted like Christmas morning (cinnamon, clove, milky) and another drink that had popping boba that was also fun. If you're a butterfinger or peanut butter fan, there was one drink that tasted like it (you'll see it on the drink menu). I wouldn't say the drinks were strong. They do a good job of enforcing the theme. They had a "Yeti" come out and interact with the tables. Good for photo ops. They also had a magician doing a few tricks, and I enjoyed that the most. The place was kept fairly chilly! Even the bathrooms had jokes and signage on the walls that alluded to the alps. Overall a great time. Small venue but pretty chill. Can be pricey. Take a sweater.

Now, you still have to pay a $15 cover to get a decorated theme that just seems extremely lackluster. Then, you're paying $18-20 a cocktail for the most basic of cocktail menus. Seriously, Palomas, corpse reviver, hurricanes, and like 4 others with no twist, no pizazz. No actors, bartenders who tell you they don't do what they used to do because "it was hard". I work in a speakeasy, the hard work and preparation is what makes it great and attracts people to your venue. Last time I was there, we showed up just before 8, and there was a line of people with reservations waiting to get in. We were the only people there for 45 minutes and then a few other people showed up. You killed this place and it saddens me. I loved your different themes and vibes and now, I will never go back.
