The restaurant itself is beautiful, though there are awkward air conditioners that randomly blast you in the face throughout the space. We ordered the parrillada (basically a sampler) along with the guayabin and two drinks. The rice, beans, and sauce came out before anything else and took up most of the table. When it arrived, we asked the manager who brought it if we could move to a different table since there wasn't room for the rest of the food, and he told us no. Then the rest of the food came out before our drinks did, and the table was completely full with no room to actually eat. We asked again to move and were told no again, which was frustrating. This was a birthday dinner, and at that point we'd already spent over $200 and didn't even have space to eat what we ordered. Nobody explained any of the dishes, they just dropped everything off and walked away. Eventually a different manager came over and told us we could move. We switched tables and finally got our drinks. Our wine was a rosé and I asked for a chiller, they didn't have one, so it came out in a large mixing bowl filled with ice. I think they were short staffed. Our server tried her best, but she was clearly stretched thin across the restaurant. Overall, for a $300 meal, the service and management fell short.

All of the dishes and drinks we had were top-notch, including: -Garden Snake cocktail -Burrata (would have loved a few more slices of the grilled sourdough bread with it) -Olives (appeared on the specials menu, for something so simple, it really was special) -Fusilli e Scallops -Bucatini alla Bolognese -Carbonara (less eggy and more creamy than I was expecting, and thankfully the peas were not overwhelming... would have loved it with the traditional guanciale versus the pancetta but that's just splitting hairs) -Chicken Parmesan -Chocolate Torte -Ricotta Cake -Limoncello (house-made!) We split the above dishes amongst four people. Our very friendly server recommended that each of us choose a pasta and a main but we are not huge eaters. We did end up ordering a second Chocolate Torte for dessert and in hindsight we should have gotten a second main/protein... they had a pork chop special that would have been incredible. Some of the menu items were unavailable (like the trout and the gelato), not sure if this happens often, but means it's probably better to eat there on the earlier side if you want everything to be available. Our reservation was at 7:45 pm. If I had one nit picky comment, it would be that drinks do take a while to come out, but when you see the amount of craft and creativity that goes into it, you realize why. We ordered a round of mezcal shots and a few minutes later, after we'd consumed them, a server came around with orange slices to accompany it... nice gesture, even if ill timed. The restaurant has a few seating options and we opted to dine indoors, seated in a cozy booth near the hostess stand. We loved how charming the restaurant is, accompanied by equally warm/friendly service. We were catching up with friends we hadn't seen in a while and probably overstayed our welcome (we were "those" people still there while they were starting to clean up) but we never felt like we were being rushed out. We shall return!

As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The kale Caesar was just okay for me (6/10), and the tri-tip steak was probably the weakest part of the meal (5/10). The fingerling potatoes were much better and probably my favorite dish of the night (7.5/10). The drinks were also solid at about a 7.5/10. Overall, I had a pleasant experience, but nothing really stood out enough for me to say it was a must-visit. Good service, nice space, and a few solid items,

I went here for an event with YouTube for the Super Bowl and had a great time…read more The venue is spacious with two floors and an outdoor space. This is something not that noticeable from the outside. The food was preselected by YouTube but everything I had was delicious! And they made sure to have options for people to select. And glad there weren't any nuts (I have an allergy). Oh and the drinks were great! And I loved that servers would come around to ask if you wanted drinks and you didn't always have to go to the bar (not sure if that is a regular situation). The only thing I disliked was that volume on the TVs were so low that we couldn't hear the game or the halftime show even when people mostly stopped talking. It doesn't have to blowing our ears out but we should be able to at least hear the commentators and performers. Paid Parking is available in a garage to the right of Painted Park (the next side street over across from Vinoteca. Or you can try to find FREE street parking.

I had a really disappointing experience with the outdoor seating on the BeltLine at Painted Park…read more The bartender had a very unpleasant attitude, like he was doing us a favor just by serving us, which immediately set the tone. Things only got worse from there. We ordered food, but the server seemed completely lost--walking around with the wrong dishes for so long that by the time our food arrived, it had clearly been sitting in styrofoam containers. Our fried mushrooms were soggy and wet instead of crispy, which was honestly inedible. To top it off, the crab dip didn't come out until about 20 minutes later--right when we were already getting ready to leave. Overall, it felt like I just donated over $60 for a frustrating and poorly managed experience. Definitely not worth it regardless of the location.

I always wonder why big restaurants sometimes only have a two stall bathroom, so that was good to see haha.

The short rib was tender and flavorful, and the sweet mashed potatoes paired really well with it. The portion was also surprisingly large, especially for a restaurant with this type of atmosphere. I definitely had more than enough food. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. The food was good, the atmosphere was beautiful, and I'd be interested in coming back on a regular night to try more of the menu.

Plenty of sides options as well, which is what I went with since I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I plantains, fries, coconut rice, brussels sprouts and everything was really flavorful. The vibe was great too! They have a really nice indoor space along with comfortable outdoor seating on an open patio. We went on a Sunday night, and there was a DJ playing music inside.

This quarter's featured country is Singapore, so I was especially excited for the opportunity to try Singaporean inspired cuisine. One of the best surprises of the evening was that our group was seated in a private dining room for the birthday celebration. It made the evening feel even more intimate and special for my friend. Jordan truly made this experience exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and cocktail menus and explained every item in such an approachable and thoughtful way. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and takes pride in the experience he creates for guests. Because of his recommendation and description, I ended up trying an entrée I probably would have overlooked otherwise. I ordered the Queensland chicken from the Singapore menu and it was outstanding. The chicken was extremely tender and the sauce had the rich, slightly sweet flavor profile Jordan described, almost reminiscent of a bourbon style glaze. It was comforting, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I also decided to explore the mocktail menu and tried both the Elliot Carver and the Paris Carver Kiss. Both were refreshing, balanced, and crafted just as thoughtfully as a full cocktail. From the service to the atmosphere to the food itself, this was truly a 10 out of 10 experience. I can absolutely see myself returning again soon.

The food was bland and under-seasoned, and I'm not someone who prefers a heavy hand seasoning wise. If I were going to come back, given the owners inability to take genuine feedback without being snarky, I certainly wouldn't now. Also, how does the owner know I'm not native to Singapore? Or at the very least lived there for many years? Not only is the response insulting, it's borderline racist. I really don't understand the glowing reviews. This place was not it. We visited during Singapore Week before a show at the Fox Theatre. My friends and I all love Singaporean food, which made the experience even more disappointing. The biggest letdown was the Hokkien Mee. If you've had this dish before, you know it typically has a rich, savory, curry-forward flavor. This version tasted more like a basic stir-fry noodle dish with a faint hint of chicken broth. It wasn't badly cooked, but it lacked the depth and flavor that makes Hokkien Mee special. I ordered the Tau Yew Bak (crispy pork belly), which was good, but nowhere near the most memorable pork belly I've had. The accompanying slaw/salad was completely forgettable and lacked flavor. My friend's Sambal Snapper suffered from the same issue. It wasn't offensive, just underseasoned and missing the bold flavors you'd expect from a dish built around sambal. We also ordered the Korean BBQ Duck Confit appetizer, which honestly tasted more like pulled barbecue chicken than duck. It wasn't bad, just not particularly exciting or memorable. I also tried the mashed potato croquettes, which were fine. That's really the best word for most of the food here: fine. Nothing was actively bad, but very little stood out. To be fair, there were some highlights. The hostess was warm and welcoming, and our server was good. The 006 Old Fashioned (their non-alcoholic Old Fashioned) was hands-down the best mocktail I've ever had, and I've had plenty all over the country. Seriously, it was outstanding and worth ordering on its own. The restaurant itself is also absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, great service, a gorgeous space, and an incredible mocktail couldn't make up for food that felt consistently underwhelming. 3 stars.

I am not a matcha fan, and I don't drink coffee on the regular, but this drink was so delicious! Loved the vibes, the people, and the food. They seem to have bingo nights and other things like that, which I will totally stop in for. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and I will be back for sure--they've been on my mind since my first visit!

I was here to pick up some food for friends. So disappointed with the portion sizes for the price…read more I spent over $45 and got a few small tacos and VERY small sides. I was also surprised and disappointed to find that sides were not already included with entrees/taco platters, which is usually the case at most Mexican places. I should've listened to the previous employee who told me about these mulitas from a taco truck elsewhere. The tacos were kind of sad, they didn't even fill them up, it was like they were scrimping to serve the smallest amount that would be considered recognizable as an actual taco. The enchiladas were pathetic, I should've seen it as a red flag when I asked the bartender how big they were and he seemed really hesitant about showing how large they were. If you like expensive, mid Mexican food and paying for vibes--go for it.
