Though it might've looked small, the combo, for $19.95 was pretty filling. The burger had fried enoki as a topping and the cheese was filled with flavor. Although the meat could've been slightly more juicy, it was still a pretty good burger. The eggplant fries were my personal favorite. They were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside and paired extremely well with the spicy sauce they provided. Overall, pretty good meal and a pretty successful pop-up !

Came here on a Saturday night for a birthday party. It was a fun experience overall. It's a karaoke…read morebar that has both private rooms and open spaces. My group got a private room which came with the usual amenities of a private karaoke space. The service was fairly quick and attentive. The weather may have affected it as it was a rainy night but surprisingly it wasn't completely packed out for a Saturday night, which was nice. The open space karaoke definitely gets your share of American Idol wannabes waiting for their moment to shine that you would expect a karaoke spot to have. The place itself if fairly comparable to the other karaoke spots you would find in K-town.

The…read moreprices are very reasonable, and the all-you-can-eat buffet is a great option if you want to try a variety of dishes. My favorite meal is the fried fish with rice, beans, and sweet plantains, but I've tried plenty of other items over the years and have always enjoyed them. It's an especially good lunch spot if you work nearby. They get a steady flow of customers, so the buffet stays fresh and the food is constantly being replenished. If you're looking for tasty, affordable Dominican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

We had a reservation for 6 people at 6 PM. There was a Knicks game that evening, so we expected…read morethings to be a little hectic. One thing that caught us off guard was being asked for ID at the door. I know the place turns into more of a lounge later in the evening, but at that time it was still operating as a restaurant. It wasn't a huge issue, just unexpected. We were seated right away, but the hostess immediately informed us that there was a 90-minute time limit on the table. We ordered a bottle of Casamigos, a pitcher of margaritas, and several appetizers. Our waitress was attentive throughout the evening and even suggested different flavors we could use as chasers with the tequila, which was appreciated. The biggest disappointment was the water situation. When we asked for water, we were offered "still or sparkling" while being shown bottled options. Since it wasn't explained that the still water would also be charged, we assumed it was complimentary and that only the sparkling water came with a fee. Later in the evening, we noticed a staff member walking around refilling glasses with tap water at other tables, which confirmed that we would be paying for the bottled still water. Considering we were drinking alcohol and going through plenty of water, it would have been nice if the charge had been clearly explained upfront. As for the food, the picadera was huge and absolutely delicious. The wings were one of the highlights of the meal. The quesadillas were decent but nothing memorable. The nachos, unfortunately, missed the mark--they had plenty of chips but very few toppings. Toward the end of the night, around 8 PM, after we had already paid our bill and were simply waiting for our to-go containers, the hostess came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder to remind us that our time was up. I wasn't pleased with being touched, especially since we were already in the process of leaving. What made it worse was that she started attempting to move one of our tables while we were still seated. I had to politely tell her to give us a minute, and that ended the interaction. Overall, we had a good time. The drinks were great, most of the food was enjoyable, and our waitress provided good service. However, the lack of transparency regarding the water charge and the way we were rushed out at the end left a sour note on an otherwise enjoyable evening.

My first time at Planet Hollywood!! Such a fun time! It's a theme restaurant so even from the…read moreoutside, there's a backdrop you can take photos with. Inside, there's more photo ops and then the restaurant area is upstairs. The food has really big portions so my friend and I both took home leftovers! My favorite was the chicken pot pie. So creamy and delicious! Also loved the cute chicken shaped pastry on top. The strawberry milkshake was also amazing and I didn't expect the rainbow cake to be so yummy. The cake is super soft (you can see I poked the straw right through through it). Service was also wonderful! Our server was very friendly and enthusiastic. I also noticed it was someone's birthday while I was there, and the staff played a live video on the big screen of the kid blowing out the candle on his dessert. Thought this was a cute and fun touch for someone's birthday! When they didn't play that live video, the big screens had a mix of music videos and aesthetic screen savers playing.

Well I happened to find myself going for an event and I was pleasantly surprised. If you're celebrating a birthday, they will put you on blast on their LED screens that runs throughout the restaurant when they bring out the cake and sparklers. I tried their Chocolate Comet Milkshake ($15), which is very Instagramable, but I ended up not having much of it as it's essentially just pure sugar and diabetes. Some of the appetizers served were the World Famous Chicken Crunch ($17), which was pretty standard chicken tenders. I did like the dipping sauce. I also had the Blackened Shrimp ($21), which I liked a lot better. This also came with the same dipping sauce as the chicken tenders. Entrees included Spicy Rigatoni Vodka ($22), which is a pretty safe choice. The burrata makes it great. The Wagyu Deluxe Burger ($28) felt like a typical burger, so I didn't think it was anything special.

Little Dipper is really vibey - think dim lighting, candles and a starry filled ceiling. The space is small with VERY limited seating. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. To start, I of course had to order from the Zodiac drink menu! I got my Pisces themed drink which was the Lunar Lullabye. It was gin based with strawberry and panda - I didn't love it but had to try! Food-wise, the menu is pretty small with some eclectic options like chicken bites with caviar and eggplant toast. We ordered a bunch of plates so I was able to try the chicken bites with caviar, Oysters with BBQ Mignonette, Dry-Aged Burger Dog and Tuna Caviar. The Tuna Caviar was excellent as was the Burger Dog. They call it a Burger Dog, because it is long like a hot dog. LOL The chicken bites were okay, the oysters with bbq were a pleasant surprise! I didn't think I would enjoy a BBQ mignonette. Someone at the table ordered the eggplant toast but it didn't look appetizing to me so I didn't try. Their menu also offers sushi! On Fridays, Little Dipper hosts a burlesque show at 8pm. We didn't realize that when we made the reservation, but it made for an interesting evening!

You'll essentially have the place to yourself and you can really enjoy the space without hustle bustle, 2) Your cage instructor is really the make-or-break.

You'll be busy chatting and playing more than eating, but it's good for nibbles. Staff is great and the place is super clean and well organized.
