The buffalo wings are on the spicier side so if you can't handle too much spice, you might want to skip this one. The catfish tacos were excellent. It comes with three tacos, each with a fried piece of catfish, sauce, cabbage slaw, and a slice of avocado. Service: Service was excellent. Our server constantly came back throughout the meal to see if we needed anything and cleared our empty dishes. Ambiance: This place isn't big, but they have booths that fit four to six people, a bar, and two smaller tables in the back. The place is dark and not too loud so it's perfect if you're looking for a quiet place to hang out. It is not ideal for large parties though because of their setup. They also have free board games available to play. Overall, I would recommend this place!

Overall rating: 4.7…read more I went here with my parents for my birthday. We wanted something lowkey and also it was 5pm. It was pretty empty and there was one host/waitress/everything. She was really nice and very patient as we tried to figure out what we wanted. Whenever I don't drink, my service dips but this one stayed consistent which I lied. We ordered the below: - Fried chicken sandwich 5/5 - absolutely delicious, a must - Smash burger 3/5 - a tad too spicy - Tacos: 3/5 - okay, nothing special - Chocolate hazel cake 5/5 - very rich. When they realized it was my birthday the whole restaurant sung and it was sweet. The only odd part is when we got our bill, it was for Zuri Lee Restaurant. And when we charged the card, it was for Brooklyn Bathhouse. Not sure if they're all the same owner. Definitely want to come back for brunch or a happy hour. The service was so nice.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Live music!

The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.

To hell with this place. Been ordering bagels here consistently for awhile, called today because I thought I had gotten less cream cheese than I ordered the past few times. The "owner" or whoever she was was DISGUSTINGLY RUDE on the phone and immediately started telling me how wrong I was. I said, ease up with the attitude, a simple explanation would be fine. Proceeded to be told I had given HER attitude when we spoke last time (this was the first time we spoke) and that it's ok because customers give HER attitude all the time. WHAT???? Here is a tip, whatever your name was... GO TAKE SOME CLASSES ON CUSTOMER SERVICE and maybe don't IMMEDIATELY pull out the attitude when someone calls with a question, or you will continue to lose customers, just like you lost one today. Sad, because you guys have fantastic bagels. read more
