    La Comida súper rica y buen servicio. Mucho mejor que muchos restaurantes que e probado!!!!

    10oz ribeye with shrimp, potatoes and asparagus. Their mushroom sauce is to die for!

    El Marisquero is finally open and it did not disappoint, my favorite dish is their 10oz ribeye with its flavorful mushroom sauce. Their octopus and shrimp tostada is delicious, the seafood is very fresh and their chipotle mayo sauce ties it all together. Ask for their green salsa!! Last but not least their drinks: I had a watermelon drink I believe it's called the pink lady? Not sure but it's watermelon & it's delicious, their michelada are also very good as well as their margaritas. They also have daily week day specials!

    Everything is good here. We definitely stop in every other week or so. My favorite appetizer is the boiled Cajun shrimp with corn, & a potato, finished with the combo chicken & shrimp fried rice . And you definitely must try the grilled red snapper meal with the wonderful tasty sauce. Steamed veggies, and yummy white rice. Everything is made fresh. Plus the drinks are good & strong, and the wait staff very courteous! Especially Maria! I give this place 5+ stars

    First time coming to this restaurant and I was greeted wonderfully by owner. I have to say that the food was great and everything was so fresh. The fried shrimp was bomb with the house sauce. We finished it off with dessert! Definitely recommend this seafood restaurant!!

    Not going back! Save your money and go to mambos instead. Shrimp fried rice was nasty and hardly had any shrimp. Portions are small. Shrimp cocktail tastes like straight V8 juice. The ceviche is dry and bland there is not lime flavor it taste like sea water per say. The kids meal was the only thing that was good but you can go else where for chicken strips and french fries.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.

There's eclectic artwork on the walls ranging from interesting portraits to beachy waves. The menu is filled with well balanced drinks with tropical themed names but they're not all rum drinks.

The old fashioned is executed well and the daiquiri was great considering I don't do sweet drinks often (this is where I get the speakeasy vibes from). I tried the wings and they were very good, try to go for their wing happy hour on Thursday from 5-7.

I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

For drinks, we got the Situationship, Lychee Lemon Drop, Smooth Operator, and Blue Tile IPA. All the cocktails were very tasty and perfectly balanced.

Cristian, our server, took such great care of us and our guests all night and made sure everything ran smoothly.

I thought that the catch 22 ( mocktail) would be too sweet or vinegar forward but it was tangy and light. My husband actually said he liked my mocktail more than he liked his cocktail which was good but a bit sweeter than he likes. The second mocktail I ordered was off the menu. I asked for something tropical and not too sweet. It was pretty good but not as complex as the catch 22. My husband liked the jaded merchant better than the dew drop. He also was sipping far too much of my mocktail which speaks volumes about how good it was. Love the moody vibes, drinks, and service. I've only visited three times but should make it one of the places we come to more often.
