It starts off with the welcome cocktail at the door as you enter (NA available too). I liked that they did a twist on every dish. Some worked and others didn't. We really liked the fondue party, happy meal, canape trio, thermidor and the Taco Bell. The duck was extremely chewy. I never liked Chef Boyardee and I didn't like this rendition either. Travail needs to work on the dessert. The desserts here are always a let down. The cake was dry and the flavors listless. It was the main complaint of others around us too. Service is great and you won't go home hungry.

Plus I will say the price was cheaper than many places charge. The bartender was busy but did take extra time to check on us. The vibe of the place was a little different. Kind of a mix of a dive bar but trying to be a little classier than that. Seemed like many people were regulars at the bar but people sitting at the tables seemed to be on dates and mostly first timers. Overall solid place to go for a solid drink at a good price. We did not try the food but will be back to try it at another time.

We also ordered French fries to nibble on (better than most but not the best fries you'll ever eat). My favorite part was the bathroom.

I would go back to try other options and explore more of their food menu.

Surprisingly the Dubai Chocolate drink was my favorite. My mom ordered a few snacks & enjoyed them especially the Japanese snack mix. I'd definitely like to come back.

A real mismatch for me but popular with the locals. Acoustics not great- not enough insulation to absorb the noise. Cocktails delicious- really great! Brandon the bartender described them perfectly. Loved the comfy bar stools. Hooks under the bar but a little too spaced out. Could use more. But glad they were there even if the one closest was in the way I started with the Tapaculo which was like a banana smoky Negroni Next was the Calluna which was like a lychee martini. Highly recommend!!

There's live r&b and soul music multiple times a week. Great happy hour specials. This spot is a whole vibe. Friendly service. I'm always running into a friend or acquaintance when I go. It's the culture for me plus no foolishness. Love that for US. I love what they've cultivated here.

Upon entering we were greeted by a woman who was clearly wearing multiple hats as she seemed rushed, a bit off putting and quite frankly distracted. It was Juneteenth the middle of the afternoon and there were maybe 6 people at the bar and one other table besides ours with 2 diners. The person seating us was also our server and the bartender. Menu is small but the items we ordered were all fabulous! Every single one! The collard green dip with cornbread pita chips was absolutely delicious - Think spinach artichoke dip but soul food! The salmon croquettes with lemon herb aioli and arugula salad that accompanied were fresh and light! The catfish sandwich with fries was hot, crispy and well seasoned with fresh lettuce and tomato on a perfectly tender brioche bun. I want to return so bad for the food but it was clear this host, server, bartender and partial cook was pulled in too many directions and that severely compromised our service and gave us stand off energy as first time patrons. I looked it up and she is actually one of the owners. She came across as irritated especially once we didn't order any alcoholic drinks first and then very short and curt following. What took the cake was her telling us she was leaving for the day and needed to close our tab while we were eating. Didn't ask did we want to order anything else and there was another server taking her place and an empty restaurant! My partner had to put his sandwich down wipe his hands pull out his wallet while she stood there impatiently. Then proceeded to linger around hugging her regular bar patrons. It was clear this is a "regulars" spot and if you're not one you're rolling the dice on the service you may or may not get. We were patient and didn't complain because it was Juneteenth and our intention to support black restaurants all weekend. I have many previous years in the industry as a cook, host and GM and I was stunned to know that she was one of the owners when I looked it up. Had planned to return for live music but unfortunately the off putting energy and unwelcoming vibe may have squashed that possibility. I hope they improve service because the food is delicious and deserves attention from a larger and more sophisticated audience.

I opted for the Caribbean Fried Chicken Sandwich which was the perfect balance of sweet and heat. Sometimes I don't love pineapple on sandwiches because they can be overpowering, but this was a welcome addition. The chicken was hot, juicy, and had a nice crunch. The fries were meaty and crispy. I love their list of unique sauce options! We tried their homemade ranch and sriracha honey lime. Both went great with our fries. I'll definitely be returning because of the quality and there are at least a few more items I want to try!

They described it as an upscale dive bar which I laughed at for sure, but when I went I would say that exactly how I would describe it. It's dark and moody, but very funky and hip with the neon walls and lights. It's very small, behind the new Public Domain space. Seems like the hostesses direct people waiting on a spot there to Neon Tiger while they wait. We were able to snag one of the last tables after we ordered (there are about 5 tables for 2, and 3 standing bar tables from what I remember). The menu isn't large - it has a couple of beers, some basic cocktails and lists spirits and mixers. The only new and exciting thing on the menu is their slushy cocktails. Good news is that this place isn't very pricey, but the portions aren't huge. My small espresso martini was $12, my boyfriend's beer didn't quite look like a full pint but was only $4. We did laugh that it was called Tiger piss. The espresso martini is good, but beware there's no actual cream liquor in the drink - they seem to squirt some foamy concoction from an unmarked squeeze bottle in a fridge on top, which was interesting. Overall, would come back here if I was bar hopping for cocktails - but wouldn't go out of my way to try it again. Great idea to send people here while waiting for Public Domain!

They have a parking lot in the back, a patio attached, and you order at the bar.

Stopped by for a friend's birthday dinner and was excited to check it out. The place is nice and clean. Was greeted by a staff member right away in front and was directed to my friend's table fast. The drink round started...I was recommended the lavender haze and went for it. It was light and fruity which I like. We had ordered crispy calamari, steam mussels, lobster pappardelle, and chilean sea bass to share. Crispy calamari - cornmeal & parmesan crusted, buttermilk, harissa, nam pla, spicy mayo. This was crispy and delicious. The nam pla was like the Vietnamese fish sauce and was tasty. Steamed mussels - white wine, garlic butter were delicious. The bread was soft and the seasoning on the bread was really good. Dipped that in the nam pla sauce which made it a yummy combo too. Lobster pappardelle - brown butter, calabrian chili, basil flavors were delightful. Good chunks of lobsters mixed into the pasta. Chilean Sea Bass - ginger coconut sauce, sweet & sour cucumbers, kaiware. This was super delicious. I like the ginger coconut sauce over the sea bass. I wanted more. I'll be back for sure! The birthday dessert with light was fun to watch/experience! I wanted to give a shout out to our server Chris and all staff members giving us superb service! They always checked in to see if everything was ok or if anything else's was needed and thanked us. That's how you do service! AWESOME service Boketto team! Greatly appreciate it!
