I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

We've probably been to Dama two dozen times. It's one of our regular spots and we love it…read more First of all the service is always great. The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

Stopped by No Smoking for some drinks post-dinner in Culver City. I really liked the 1970s theme…read morewith some Japanese/Asian influence artwork and red neon lights. If you like lighter cocktails, I'd recommend the Incredible Hulk because I couldn't really taste the alcohol at all. This soju-based drink featured a hint of fruity flavors (passionfruit and pineapple) as well as a fresh basil on top. Its nice that every time you take a sip, you can smell the basil. The Coffee Negroni had strong espresso flavors and the bitterness is contrasted with the salted orange, citrus-y foam. The Chai Old Fashioned was a tad too strong for me but definitely had the aroma of chai spices with whiskey and bourbon. The space is pretty big with a long bench for seating, as well as an outdoor area. Sometimes they will feature DJs. They have a photo booth close to the bathroom area which was only $5 for 2 columns!

Bar CDMX is a very nice bar to be at! If you've ever been to Mexico City this place really captures…read morethe essence of being there. The drinks are nicely crafted and reasonably priced. The service is also quick and the staff are friendly. What I didn't like about this location is that it was too packed for comfort. I don't think it's their fault that they are that popular but the bar can do a better job of limiting people so that it's not a nightmare to even move around in there. They do play good Spanish music as well but its just too packed for it to be enjoyable. I also think its great that they are serving tacos near the entrance. I'd like to return at a time that is not so packed so I can get the full experience.

I didn't…read moretry any food this time around, but I did order the Ginger Lime Cooler mocktail and it was super refreshing and well balanced. What stood out most to me was the atmosphere. The outdoor patio is such a cool space to just relax, people watch, and enjoy the scenery. They had music playing along with a big screen TV, which made it feel like a perfect chill spot to unwind without feeling overcrowded. Since I went midday, it wasn't too packed, which honestly made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were absolutely sweet, friendly, and very attentive -- not just to me, but also to the couple sitting nearby. Customer service definitely did not go unnoticed. I'll definitely be back to try the food next time!

I would give zero stars if I could. To begin with they absolutely have the worst customer service I…read morehave experienced in my entire life. Servers and waiters will blatantly walk past you as you're trying to flag them down or get their attention. They will ignore you even if you have money in your hand and you're trying to order. They are extremely anti-black and extremely racist. I had multiple servers look at me and disgust while trying to order or would blatantly stare me in my eyes and then take another person's order over mine. I was walking home from work and just wanted to stop by this place because I had never been and boy was it the biggest mistake of my life. I've been in places that were crowded, but this place was honestly a safety hazard. Everyone is shoving and pushing. It's terrible. When I was finally able to order after being ignored for 20 minutes, all of my food came out cold and I had to send the drinks back because it looked like there was something in it. If you plan on going here, go there at your own risk.

Must go for sure!

I was thinking like vanilla rum with cinnamon nutmeg with some peach schnapps but no. $18 wasted. Vibes were there, music bomb, I had there chicken tenders as well they were good. But the cocktail was a no go for me. Nice ambience, parking was on the street but definitely accessible. Service was okay. The waitress was attentive.

Good size crowd, but it was easy enough to get a drink from the bar. Vibes were good and got better when the Gumbo Brothers came on. They are a cover band, but specific to hip hop and RnB, and they killed it. Jay on the sax was amazing, and Apollo on the mic was perfect. We will be back on Friday or Saturday, since I believe that's when the Gumbo Brothers are there.

The guests, come and go and at each moment, in any corner, be ready to be surprised and entertained by a live DJ, acrobat, burlesque performer, pianist and singer. What a show! Veronica at the bar was fantastic and made us drinks just to our order. Supper knowledgable, helpful and kind. Definitely, this place is a great hangout after a meal... be prepared to be be dazzled and entertained.
