Their food is a little pricey and I wasn't in the mood to pay $40+ for an entree so I opted for the white pizza which was $18. To me this was a great deal, the pizza was huge and sooo good. I like that they added sausage. My drinks were very tasty, I got one off their summer menu, the sunburst l, it was sooo good. All the flavors (watermelon, mint, guava) complemented each other very well. For my second and final round I tried the Rare Situation which featured mezcal. They were out of mezcal which was disappointing so the bartender substituted it with tequila. I really would have liked to have seen how it tasted with the mezcal. Overall, I enjoyed my dine in at the bar, I def want to come back to check out their happy hour!

My sister and I decided to try this spot for dinner before the Vedo concert. Parking wasn't too…read morebad, it took a couple spins around the block to find street parking. There is a parking structure near there, but parking was a little higher due to a game. The restaurant is smaller than I had anticipated, but they do have a covered portion that has heaters when the temperature is drop. We were set at a two top table, but it was really small. So if you're ordering multiple appetizers and drinks, I would ask to be set at a four top so that you can have space for your items. For appetizers, we ordered oysters and brussels sprouts. I did not try the oysters, but my sister liked them. I enjoyed the brussels sprouts for sure! The appetizers were decently priced. Our drinks were pretty good. We ended up ordering four drinks total which is about $80. The drinks are $18 and up. WHEW, a little steep. For our meal, we decided to share a Caesar salad and the short rib entrée. One thing I do like if they make their croutons for the salad in house, so that was a plus. To be completely honest, the short rib tasted like roast. And it came with mashed potatoes. We definitely needed to use some hot sauce as the entrée lacked seasoning and it the entree wasn't very hot. Nonetheless, our waitress was extremely nice and very attentive. I would go back for a happy hour, and I will probably try more appetizers, but the menu is a little basic. I prefer to be able to order things that I don't traditionally make it home.

I could not be happier with my experience at Mink. I came with my son for mother's day and didn't…read morereally know what to expect. When I walked in and saw the tiny space I was charmed. There was a 2 top table at the back that we were seated at - we could have sat at the bar also - and it was a great spot. We ordered the tasting menu and WOW, every course was amazing. I'll post pics because the presentation was gorgeous for each item. They have a small cocktail and wine and beer selection, but that was fine. My son got their Shrub Mocktail and I got the Shrub with Sake. Both were delicious and so interesting. I can't pick a favorite item because they were all so good, but the Torched Mackerel and Poached Bosc Pear were tied for #1, followed by the Salmon, Oysters and the crazy good Blood Orange dessert. The shrimp toast was just ok for me, not bad, just not as good as everything else. Additionally the service was outstanding. For a tiny place they did everything right. They explained each course, brought out fresh utensils for every course - YEA! - and made sure we had good pacing. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and enhanced our meal. I really want to come back and try the oysters and some of the tinned items. I'm so excited I found Mink and will be back for sure.

We had 2 couples and they customized the menu for us based on our likes and dislikes. We got 5 courses starting with appetizers, followed by pasta (which I forgot to get photos of), then sides, entrees and dessert. Plus a little aperitif to start the meal off. Zero complaints about any of the dishes. My favorite dish was probably the artichokes and the steak. So delicious! The atmosphere at the restaurant was very fun and modern. And our server was very knowledgeable and helpful when we had questions about the dishes. If you want an even more elevated experience, they have a sommelier that will come to your table and assist with picking wine to pair with your meal.

We were promptly seated and greeted my our waitress, Mary. She was very attentive and knows the menu. She explained every dish and made excellent recommendations. We all started out with an Aperol Spritz, because what says Italy more than a spritz!?! We ordered a few appetizers, artichoke, squash and asparagus. The squash was unique. It had pickled summer squash, a vegetable that I never considered pickling. Simply delicious. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the sauce really enhanced it. Great side dish. I did not try the artichoke, but my wife and daughter both said they were amazing. For mains, I ordered the Aragosta fra Diavolo, my wife the Cappelletti and my daughters the Carbonara. All were delicious. The fra diavolo had a nice light kick of heat and loaded with lobster tail. Excellent dish. I highly recommend Shewolf. It's a phenomenal restaurant that takes pride in their food, service and the whole experience.

I honestly cannot focus on specific items from the menu because everything ordered at the table was wildly delicious!

I was a little concerned at first learning there was only one server working. Let me tell you, I have never seen one person handle serving multiple tables so effortlessly and efficiently ever before. Craig was absolutely phenomenal!!! Everyone in my party raved about our experience for at least a week afterwards. Truly impressive! Enomah is definitely an underrated gem!

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I ordered the beef empanadas to start. As soon as they came out I could tell they were about to be good. *They were.* They were really good. And the sauce was the best accompaniment. I could tell they were homemade and made to order and after asking the server I was proven right. Very impressive. Now the best part, my pan con bistec. Beef was super tender & tasty. The Cuban bread was buttered and pressed. Overall excellent sandwich. It was like a Cuban grandmas pan con bistec but a little more upscale and w better ingredients. Again very impressed. Between the 5 star service (hostesses and servers were all very friendly & accommodating) the beautiful outdoor seating in a busy downtown area, or the authentic, DELICIOUS Cuban food - I highly recommend Vicentes!

So we got there and we were the only ones there, it was 4:30 in the afternoon on a Friday so not much really going on, we got seated right away. The server brought us out waters and I ordered a Havana Hurricane, it was okay but did taste a little weak and I ordered the Lobster bisque soup and the Salmon à la Parilla. The Lobster Bisque was delicious but the salmon had NO flavor at all and it came with 2 plantains, spinach and rice. The Plantains had more flavor than the whole dish. The fish tasted like it just came right out of an Aldi's package and put right into the oven, just bland, even the rice and spinach had no flavoring, all you could taste was lemon and fish, lots of lemon. The staff were really nice but the food, I couldn't do it again. Sorry it just wasn't for me and I love fish.

The staff are all very personable and welcoming. The food is crazy good. I got the chefs table tasting menu and was quite pleasantly surprised. The first course was a Welsh rarebit (which I've never had before but is kind of like a piece of toast). The bread was perfectly toasted, crispy on the outside and soft (almost pudding like) inside. I think it was sourdough. The Mahon cheese melted on it reminded me of a delightful Croque monsieur. The dollops of mustard/lager sauce were sweet and paired nicely with the savory toast and the bitter arugula. The second course was Parisian gnocchi, which I guess means they are made from pate a choux. They were crispy outside and pillowy within, and sat on some perfect snap peas that were fresh and crisp. The peas were held together in a subtle ramp puree. I don't often get to eat fresh peas in season, and I was shocked that they were so tasty and firm. The third course was a lamb shoulder braised in Membrillo ( a quince paste), served in a ssam style with Kim chi and curry rice. This dish was the one that did it for me. The membrillo gave the lamb shoulder an incredibly deep umami flavor, while also imbuing it with a Carmel burnt sweetness. The recipe didn't use doenjang or gochujang or soy sauce, but got to a similar level of umami. Wrapped with some Kim chi, herbs, and the curry bomba rice in lettuce, it made for a rich and complex flavor bomb in each bite. I was also super pleased that it was a very generous portion. You don't always get that in a tasting menu. The final course was a very delicate bread ice cream, which was made with the membrillo and covered with almond cookie and mint oil. The ice cream was so delicate it was at times almost like marshmallow fluff, and the mint oil really contrasted nicely with the bready sweetness of the ice cream.

We decided to do the four course chef's dinner to try a variety of things. There is also an optional wine pairing, which one of our guests at the table did and loved! I opted for take on the gin and tonic, which was smooth and refreshing. First course was a delicious cheesy toast. The bread tasted like it had just been baked that same day. Next step we had the softest gnocchi, with sliced pepperoni. It was such an interesting combination and very delicious. The main course was a very tender lamb and risotto dish. The lamb was very flavorful. We finished things off with a sourdough ice cream that was garnished with a mint syrup. It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before and it was very good. Our waiter frequently checked in on us, and there are two individual restrooms in the restaurant. I had a wonderful time and I would definitely go back!
