The stuffed mushrooms were really fresh, and the lamb meatballs had good flavor. Service was fine, just a bit slow. Heads up about the 10% table fee, but it&#39;s a solid spot.

The sangria was great and our server was super attentive. The parrillada was just okay though, my tenderloin had some tough tendons. Milanesa was way too cheesy for me.

Great thin-crust pizza and they didn&#39;t rush us at all. Wine list is solid too. Staff even brought over a little something after we finished eating. Nice touch.

Stopped here before a match and grabbed the doenjang jjigae&mdash;hearty and hit the spot. Seafood pizza was a fun twist too. Prices were fair. A cold beer would&#39;ve made it perfect though.

The food was solid &mdash; some creative flavor combos I hadn&#39;t tried before. Service was a bit slow though. Get the service sorted and this place would be top tier.

Tomato soup was thick and had a good kick to it. Pulled pork sandwich came with plenty of meat, bun held up fine. Place feels more like a coffee shop than a restaurant, but that&#39;s fine for a quick bite. Would&#39;ve liked the fries a bit crispier though.

The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The owner is very friendly and ensures that every guest feels welcome.

The coconut flan was solid. Sweet but not too heavy, exactly what I needed for a quick break. Place was busy but I got my order fast. No complaints. Would grab it again if I&#39;m in the area.

Butter chicken was solid, garlic naan fresh outta the tandoor. Samosas crispy, chai had a good kick. Place was pretty busy but we got seated quick. Probably the best Indian spot I&#39;ve hit around here so far. Service kept it simple, no complaints. Maybe a bit pricey for the portion but I&#39;d go back.

The grilled octopus was the only thing I remember. Cooked right, tender, smoky enough. The rest of the plates were just okay, nothing I&#39;d order again. Maybe a bit overpriced for what you get. But that octopus, yeah, I&#39;d come back for that.

The falafel here is seriously good. I&#39;ve tried a lot of places and this one stands out. The place is clean and the food is halal, which I appreciate. I just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, but honestly, the falafel makes up for it. I&#39;d come back just for that.

Been coming here for a while now. The ceviche is still the reason I show up&mdash;fresh every single time. Calamari&#39;s solid too, never greasy. Place looks a little tired, sure, but I don&#39;t really care about that when the food stays this consistent. It&#39;s a bit pricey, but I keep coming back.

The ginger in everything really stood out&mdash;so fresh and punchy. Warm sake hit the spot too. Service was chill and friendly.

I&rsquo;ve eaten here a few times now and it&rsquo;s been pretty steady each visit. The food is tasty and the portions are generous for what you pay. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. It&rsquo;s a little on the pricey side, but I left full and satisfied. I&rsquo;d come back when I&rsquo;m in the mood for something reliable.

The molcajete was really good, maybe one of the best I&#39;ve tried. The salsa had a nice kick to it. Service was friendly and quick, which I appreciated.

Doma Escalante offers an unforgettable dining experience with its exquisite food and attentive service. The ambiance is cozy and modern, making it perfect for a special occasion or a casual night out.

The owner Ricky was super welcoming, made the whole vibe feel personal. Rond&oacute;n de Mariscos was fresh and tasty, though the rice and beans came out a bit dry. Arroz con Leche dessert hit the spot though.

Stopped by for the chocolate tasting and honestly it was pretty cool. They walk you through the whole process, not rushed at all. The cold chocolate drink was the highlight though, super rich and smooth. Wish I&#39;d grabbed a second one to go. Place was a bit busy but worth it.

The staff took my gluten allergy seriously, which I appreciated. But honestly, the best part was just how chill the space felt. Not chaotic like a lot of places around here. I could actually hear myself think while eating. Food was decent too, but that calm vibe is what I keep remembering.

The tasting menu here is a whole evening thing&mdash;they even send you home with a little souvenir. Food&#39;s solid, though I wasn&#39;t blown away for what it costs. Still, the experience itself makes it worth it.

Stopped by for a quick coffee and beer. Staff was attentive, place was clean and pretty. The view is the real highlight&mdash;makes me want to come back for a proper meal.

Seated right away on a busy Saturday, that never happens. Staff kept checking on us, food was solid. Music was fun but not too loud. Good spot in the neighborhood.

Buffet and dance show combo was a solid pick. Food was okay, nothing crazy, but the view from up top made it worth the stop. Good spot if you want dinner and a show without overthinking it.

Cozy spot in Barrio Escalante, loved the vibe inside. Staff were friendly and the food came out quick. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, but overall a nice place to hang.
