After countless rounds of obsessive menu comparisons, I added Noche to my list of restaurants to try during Restaurant Week. I was immediately impressed when I walked in the door. Despite being underground, it feels really big and spacious; there are tons of mirrors and chic modern furniture everywhere. It’s like one of those restaurants that you see in movies that’s always playing host to graphic designers and magazine editors and other people with impossibly cool-sounding professions. Seriously, Hollywood, how many architects can there even be in the world? Anyway, we got seated and were brought some fried plantains and spicy aioli to snack on. YUM. We were basically eating that aioli by the spoonful. When our server kindly brought out a second serving of it after we decimated the first batch, it kind of made my day. Then we got our starters: fried paella and the garlic shrimp. The fried paella was predictably awesome: steaming hot and packed with spicy, shrimpy goodness. The garlic shrimp were much less impressive. They were slightly overcooked and just not that exciting(or garlicky!). The corn purée that they came with was very tasty though. For our entrées, we had the hanger steak and the snapper with mango-coconut rice. The hanger steak was cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy. The fish dish was omfgjsdflnaldfkn amazing. The pairing of the mango and coconut in the rice, over a cilantro purée, mixed with bites from that pan-seared snapper… Mercy. Dessert was just as fantastic as the entrées. We had… ready… churros. With housemade caramel. I meannnnn… it was just too bomb for words. They should sell that caramel as a shot, it was so milky and creamy and delicious. Oh, and did I mention the chocolate lava cake with raspberry sauce? Chocolate and raspberries are best friends for life, so that cake was already set up for greatness. It did not disappoint. MMM. My mouth was so happy after that meal. With the exception of the«meh» garlic shrimp(minus one star), everything we ordered was wonderful. I think Noche is a good place to go to start an evening out. Grab some fried paella, some coconut rice, some churros, and head off to enjoy the rest of your night.

I would never have found this place if my cabbie hadn’t pointed it out to me. It’s tucked right behind Masa. The atmosphere was cool and dark. The place in general was pretty quiet. I probably ate close to half their menu and I loved every bite of it. The cucumber gimlet is dangerous; I could definitely drink those as fast as they could mix them.

I’d heard a lot of good things about Noche, and I’m happy to confirm that they’re true. My entry into Noche was smooth. The staff was friendly, and there was no wait on a Wednesday night. Unfortunately, after 5 minutes at my table, a nearby table of human megaphones gathered to eat. I’m not sure how it’s possible to talk so loudly and so much when you’re eating, but I really wanted to feed them toffee… or superglue. We must have looked quite annoyed because the staff quickly came over to ask if they could re-seat us. No points lost for Noche as the loudness was clearly beyond their control and a gold star for sensitivity and service! The Fried Paella appetizer was a fried and battered ball of seafood delight, and the Tuna Crudo was in another dimension. Succulent, out-of-this-world flavor, this is a must-have! After such mind-blowing appetizers, it was hard to get excited about the far less original entrees. The Filet Mignon was a great medium rare, a dark, flame-kissed dome of steak with an orange island of lighter-than-air mashed sweet potatoes. The Scallops were well-seared but too salty. But the accompanying carrot purée was fantastic. If nothing else, Noche knows how to purée! The desserts were as fun as the appetizers. The Chocolate Chipotle Crème Brulee was tasty with a kick and a warm after-burn. The Goat Cheese Cheesecake was sooooo good! Creamy flavor and unblemished smooth texture, why haven’t I seen this anywhere else? The tasty tuna and desserts at Noche made my previous noise complaint a moot point. It is rare that the harmony of good food negates such cacophony, but believe me, Noche’s did. Just make sure to order the tuna and the cheesecake, the rest is up to you…

Ah, Dulce Noche!(My poor grasp of Romance languages tells me that rhymes.) Kelsey C. and I came here with a Gilt voucher for dinner for 2. The voucher allowed for two selections of appetizers, two entrees and one dessert. We got the Tuna Crudo and Fried Paella to start. The tuna was so succulent and fresh, and the sauce was amazing. The Fried Paella just made me happy. I love paella and would never have imagined someone would stuff it in a fried, battered shell, but that’s what Noche did and the result was beautiful. The entrees were less impressive. My Scallops were decent size-wise, but the accompanying chorizo and spring peas medley was way too salty. My friend got the Filet Mignon, and it was pretty well-cooked but otherwise seemed kind of unremarkable. In general, their entrée offerings are far less interesting and creative than their appetizers, so I would suggest making a meal out of several appetizers instead. I would have done that if we hadn’t had the voucher. For cocktails, I had the Appleton Sour and it was a pretty interesting combination of foamy egg white and sour pisco, lime and cinnamon vanilla sugar. Desserts, desserts, desserts. Thankfully, their dessert selection is like their appetizers – fun and interesting. In fact, they were so interesting that we decided to splurge and get an extra dessert because there were so many we wanted to try. We got the lemon goat cheese cheesecake and chocolate chipotle crème brûlée. The cheesecake was phenomenal. Goat cheese is the perfect texture for cheesecake, IMO. The light lemon flavor was heavenly. The chipotle chocolate crème brûlée was pretty good and an interesting combination of flavors, but I think the problem with chocolate crème brûlée in general is it always comes out tasting like chocolate mousse. Similar texture. The cheesecake was definitely the stand-out of the two. Service was exceptional. With some restaurants, if you tell your server you have a voucher, it’s like you just ran over their firstborn and you’re never treated nicely again. Our server stayed just as upbeat and friendly when we told her we had a voucher. Even more impressive, when a group of 10REALLYLOUD old people came in and more or less deafened us with their screaming(«MAAABLEEEEEE! HOWAREYOU?!»), the manager noted our painted expressions and offered to move us to a quieter part of the restaurant, which we gladly accepted.

We came here with a Dinner for Two voucher from Gilt City and weren’t really sure what to expect. The dining room is pretty dark, with white tables and chairs — overall a very nice setting. We chose a table that had a decent amount of light so we could see what we were eating. The meal starts with a basket of deliciously addicting fried plantains(gluten free). We picked at these all through our meal and while we had some post-dinner drinks at the bar. All in all I think 4 of us took down about 6 baskets of these things. Our vouchers got us each an appetizer and a meal and then a shared dessert. The standout dishes were the braised short ribs and the calamari appetizer. The churros for dessert were awesome, but incredibly dense. Our waiter was fantastic, especially considering we had this voucher. They are very knowledgeable of gluten free needs and my wife was able to pick from more than a few options.

I am a fan of this place. I love NOCHE. This was not my first time here and defenetly not my last. I usually come Friday nights. The food is just amazing. My favorite is the hanger steak. The pork belly chicharrones are a must. The only thing I don’t like is the Tuna crudo. Just not my thing. and I love tuna. My friends didn’t like it either. Everything else is just delicious. BRAVO Chef. The drinks are too good. This time I was just having Cuba Libres, but their martinis are amazing. We did not have Michael as a waiter this time. We looooove him. He is not only very good and fast, but also very friendly and always making sure we were happy. They have a very good bar and many people just go there for drinks. Service was not as fast this last time, but it was not a big deal. We were happy. The guys at front are very nice and friendly. I like to seat at the tables by the bar and they always make it happen. THANKS. I travel A LOT… and go to many many restaurants around the world. I love NOCHE. The service is always good and the food over the top.

I went to Noche on Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend. We had been hearing how great the new menu was from some foodie friends who live in the South End. We where really interested in trying the menu but my boyfriend decided to surprise me by taking me for a romantic Valentine’s dinner :) I would give the restaurant 5 stars if my review was based on food alone… but I cannot fail to mention the service, which deserves about 2 – 3 stars. I will start with the best part of our evening… the FOOD! It was amazing! I had the oysters with tequila and the duck salad with blood orange dressing, as well as the lobster dish. For dessert I had churros. Everything was incredibly tasty and beautifully executed. However delicious the food was our waitress was slow to attend and drinks seemed to take a tremendous amount of time. Our plan was once dinner was over to head to the bar and have some after dinner drinks but this all changed once we realized that the servers and bartender where extremely inattentive. I also want to mention that when we first came in the door for our wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner, while observing the beautiful décor the older male host acted very socially awkward towards us and didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing at all. Overall, the experience was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! We will definitely be going back to try the regular menu. I am just hopeful that the service is able to catch up with the high caliber of food.

I’m sorry to the few below that had a bad experience here… but mine was the exact opposite of that. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Boston thus far. Loved the liveliness of the restaurant to begin with. Very exciting with a very busy bar. Despite this I was able to carry on a conversation with those at my table(which was in the bar by the way) just fine. The service was top notch from the moment we entered the door. Complimentary coat check… nice touch. Our waiter Michael was very attentive and really very nice. Made you feel like you were a friend versus a customer and truly cared about our dining experience. Food…really awesome. Drinks, a little pricey, but very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Are you looking for a comfortable, clean, and sophisticated place, along with a good dinner in the evening? Well, if you said yes, this place may have your answer. Noche is the Spanish word for night and this place’s specialty is Latin American and Spanish influenced cuisine served in a refined, classy, sophisticated, yet comfortable interior. Once you get seated and after you make your order, they serve you some Plaintain Chips. Plaintains are a fruit that are relatives to the banana and they are usually served fried. They were salted and are really crispy. I liked the flavor of the dipping sauce, and it’s a good start to the meal. The main entrée that I ordered was the Chicken, Chorizo and Local Shellfish Paella. Paella is a pan-fried rice dish, mixed with saffron that is originally from Spain. Chorizo is a Spanish sausage with some spice in the flavor. This Paella dish also has a lobster tail, mussels, shrimp and clams. Presentation was impressive, and the portions were excellent. The seafood overall was tasty, but I thought the meat from the mussels were small. The lobster was pretty good and the shrimp was plump. The Chorizo tasted really well with the fried rice. This is a great choice if you are really hungry, and should be enough to fill the stomach of one man. It is also a great dish to share with two people who are not so hungry or for four people who want something really light to complement the small plates that they serve here. It was probably not the best Paella, but it was one of the best Paella dishes I had in Boston so far. As for other dishes, I thought the best tapas dish was the Squid, Avocado and Chorizo Fritters. This is a fried dish, and I really liked the aioli sauce which made the crispy squid tastier. The Slow Roasted Turkey Leg Tamales are a really good choice, and I thought they were tasty, but needs a little more turkey inside. The Noche Mini Burgers are a great choice if you want a snack at the bar. I was not impressed with the Tacos. They were out of steak, so instead we settled on getting Grilled Pork Tacos instead of Grilled Steak. The Tacos were good, but not great. We also got a Pork Arepas dish, which is this dough made from cornmeal that is fried with pork and barbecue sauce. It was also a good dish. It was supposed to be the Smoked Beef Brisket and Corn Arepas. I decided to get the Churros for dessert. Churros are a type of fried dough doused with sugar. I have not eaten Churros since I left Sevilla, so I wanted to see how this place does. After the first bite, I was very impressed. It had a nice sugary sweetness on the outside, and a nice warm chewiness on the inside. It brought back some great memories, and it’s definitely a dessert worth ordering. One major disadvantage is that they sometimes run out of certain food, such as beef, and you may need a secondary choice ready. If they can seriously improve on this, it has a lot of potential to be a better restaurant. If you want to eat here during a night out in the city, especially during weekends, it is highly advisable that you make a reservation in advance, since this place was heavily booked during a Saturday night. Although the dress code may be casual here, the interior is really classy and sophisticated compared to a lot of restaurants in this somewhat decent city, you should probably wear something impressive(maybe a collared shirt by Calvin Klein and a pair of Kenneth Cole slacks?). Ladies should also wear something impressive and stylish. Overall, this is a great choice if you want a fine and tasty dinner. This place may not have Boston’s finest food, but it’s still a good choice, and it’s also a great choice if you really want a sophisticated atmosphere. This is probably the type of place I would consider returning with a few friends and a good amount of money for some sophisticated, classy and somewhat stylish fun dining.

We met some friends at this place a week or two ago. We sat at the bar for a while, bartender was very nice. The place has a good vibe. We were not so happy with our server from the start. He repeatedly told us that the menu was new and they were working out some kinks. They were out of one appetizer because they were saving the mole sauce for another dish(weird), he didn’t have info on some dishes, we had to ask repeatedly for the plaitains other tables got automatically, etc. He was sort of snide and the service was slow to non-existent, but we were having a good time; the food overall was good, and the staff who delivered our food helped us to get refills, etc. Eventually we did ask to see the manager. It really was not that horrific, but the waiter got really rude. The manager came over and was sooooo… apologetic. It was very nice of her, but really she could have dropped it. It was over the top, we only wanted a quick conversation. The more she kept apologizing and continuing the conversation, the more we tried to explain why we were upset. And the more we explained, the more upset we seemed. Honestly, not really a huge deal. She wound up comping us for a huge portion of the check, whicih was nice, but again… not necessary. I have no idea why she was so defensive. We were made to feel like crazy belligerent people, I have no idea why. We only felt as though the manager should know that the service was poor. Whatever… This place is fine, it’s a nice evening.

On a rainy November Thursday night, I ducked in here with the help of Unilocal because it was around the corner from my hotel… hey, at least it was dry in here! I sat at the bar in the middle of a boisterous birthday party but that makes a solo dinner all the more tolerable in my book. Plus there are a couple TVs behind the bar with the night’s games on– always nice when you’re holding down a barstool all by your lonesome. The bartender was a real sweetie and had just the right amount of attentiveness and stand-off-ishness. The décor looks totally cheesy in online photos but is not bad in person. The food, overall, was a disappointment. And I always hate to read this in reviews but it tore my stomach up! I tried a salad with avocado among other things and found it drenched in an oily dressing and heavy on tasteless greens. The smoked corn chowder had a bit of two or chicken bone in it along with some chicken skin. Neither scores high marks with me. Finally, the shrimp and lobster mole enchiladas were so-so. A bite or two of the seafood made me question its freshness. I may recommend this place for a drink or two but cannot recommend it for food alone.

Go here if you like snobby staff.(And after living in NYC for 8 yrs before moving to Boston, I have quite the tolerance for restaurant/bar staff with upturned noses). The first time I went here on a Thursday night, the host was acting pretty pompous like he was too good to answer any questions. Strike 1. The second time, I arrived here around midnight on a Saturday with 10 friends, one of whom’s birthday it was. Upon half of us sitting at tables and half of us going to the bar for drinks(which was very empty), a drunk guy started berating my girlfriend when she commented that she didnt want to go collect everyone’s id’s(she was buying 10 shots). The guy caused such a commotion when we responded that he was being rude that the bar staff kicked him out. Great, right? Not so much. The bartender ordered us(all my friends and I) to leave the entire restaurant. When we tried to explain what had happened, she walked to the other side of the bar ignoring us. You’d think when a male at a bar is yelling at a couple girls, a female bartender would have a little more courtesy. I know I would. Strike 2. In terms of food, the menu here is not that impressive. I also find it idiotic when a restaurant touts themselves as Latin but feature things like Filet Mignon(what the?) or clearly Spanish(from Spain) cuisine like Paella and Churros. Yes, they do serve Churros now in Latin America, but Paella, are you kidding? Paella is FROMSPAIN. Oh, and if you think the Manchego cheese that comes in the Filet Mignon entrée makes it Latin in any way, uh, no, Manchego is SPANISH too. I know restaurants throw«New» in front of any type of cuisine and that’s supposed to allow them to put whatever they want on the menu, but Noche is too full of itself and the prices are too high for them to get away with it. Strike 3.

To set the scene: it’s 7pm, a Wednesday night. Three tables and three waiters on staff. We order drinks which are delicious and enjoy the plantain chips. After placing our orders we wait 30 minutes before recieving a salad(that was supposed to arrive with entrees). The avocado, jicama, shrimp salad is fine if extremely bland. By the time we receive our entrees it has been over an hour and we get no apologies for the delay. I ordered the tuna tartar and my friend, the snapper. My friend proclaims as she looks at hers«I want to cry». The menu and waiter made no mention that it is a whole fish(tail, eyes, bone) and it is served on a woefully unappealing bed of shriveled, burnt snap peas. While some may consider her dish a matter of taste, mine was absolutely inedible. the tuna tartar was mixed with a mango salsa that was so sour, it tainted everything on the plate and my mouth and stomach burned for hours from the few bites I took. The chef either dumped an entire bottle of vinegar in or decided to get creative with hydrochloric acid. Unfortunately the waiter didn’t check on our food until 30 minutes after he had dropped it off. I have NEVER complained about a dish or sent one back – but my stomach lining was not capable of handling the pH levels of 0 in my tuna, so I told the waiter. He was incredulous but gracious enough and took both items off the bill. Leaving 2 hours later, my friend and I agreed that it felt like we were just held hostage by Noche. Undoubtedly the worst service and worst food I’ve ever had. Nice décor and drinks though.

With just days left before my Eversave coupon expires, my bro and I decided to start the week off with what we hoped would be a tasty dinner. There were some delicious hits, but misses as well: –not sure why so many folks mentioned the plaintain chips… though a nice of change from bread, they were horribly over-salted and greasy. I’d much rather have good bread & butter. –Fried Duxbury oysters were delicious and reasonably-priced at $ 10 for 4. The cornmeal batter was great and didn’t mask the oyster flavors at all. –Entrees were solid, but way overpriced for the level of execution. The paella was unexpectedly hearty and brimming with fresh seafood, yet the flavors were too mild and left little impression. I had to go with the Seared Ahi Tuna and Shellfish Mole since the rabbit was no longer on the menu and that was fine. –Churros for dessert were FANTASTIC! Piping hot with tons of crunch on the exterior breaking away under the lightest of pressures to an almost gooey inside. They didn’t even need the dipping glaze that came with the dish. All in all, it’s a swanky little underground place that’s best for bar items, dessert and drinks at the bar. Wouldn’t come back for an actual meal.

Although Noche lays a couple blocks down from the true hustle and bustle of Tremont St, I was pleasantly surprised with what I expected to be yet another mediocre nightclub-looking restaurant. Walking down, the décor is stunning, inviting, and intimate, mixed with lots of mirrors and glass. I still wasn’t sold. Still smelled like a bar, that just so happened to have a restaurant. Then came the crisp plantain chips, served with a lovely spiced and creamy aioli. I demanded seconds(and thirds). Hearty entrees include the ropa vieja, which wasn’t overly salted, and reminded me of my recent trip to Puerto Rico. For the more adventurous, they offer the ancho blackberry rabbit entrée, served with a yummy black bean cake. The rabbit was flaky and tender, albeit a bit over salted. The blackberry ancho sauce wasn’t too strong, as the chef probably was holding back and did not want to alienate too many palates. Noche knows how to bring the protein into the focus of a dish, with their roast lobster and fried snapper entrees. At $ 28, the roast lobster is a steal for usually-overpriced South End dining, although a bit overcooked. However, the whole fried snapper is the star of the show here. Its a huge fish that barely fits on the plate. The sweetness of the coconut is ingrained into the expertly fried crust and pairs perfectly with thier white sangria. For some empty carbs, the chicken, chorizo, shellfish paella is worth a try if not just for the protein variety and portion size. Across my 3 visits here, I still think the paella needs a tad more seasoning, and doesn’t quite have the sear of a paella, but more the texture of a risotto. We all know Noche means night in Spanish, and their name certainly does its justice because everytime I come here I leave in a food coma and plop in bed, fully satisfied. Buenos noches indeed.

Came here with the gf and another couple for restaurant week. First off, it has really trendy cool décor both at the bar and the restaurant. We were a bit early, so the gf and I sat at the bar munching on plantain chips with some garlic aioli. I had a Bombay saf Gibson martini. Was glad to see the onions were looking«Fresh». She enjoyed both the South End(Stoli O, Chamborge, fresh lemon juice, strawberry pure, mint, lime, and club soda) and the Cucumber gimlet(Gin, St Germaine, lime juice, fresh cucumbers, and orange bitters). I know she liked them b.c. when the other couple came, she was telling them they should have that as well. For app’s we both went with Pat’s Clams Go Latin. This consisted of Wllfleet Littlenecks, Native Corn, Chipotle-Lime Butter, and Grilled Chili Cornbread. They were quite tasty and had a little kick that I do not often associate with clams. They were yummy. Main course was Meyer Ranch Hangar Steak with Rum-Red Chile Sauce, and Habanero Potato Salad. Meat was cooked medium rare as requested and potato salad was nice and spicy with the habanero kick. For dessert we went with the Churro’s with Dulce de Leche.- They were ok. Had a lot of cinnamon and were fried right, but after seeing the key lime tart, I regretted not going with that. Overall, this place is a great venue. Really trendy place and staff was nice. Not just friendly, but had a good sense of humor and actually knew WTF they were talking about. A nice change! To top it all off, we had kept boozing at the bar for about 45 min(could have been 1hr) past when we were supposed to be seated. Maybe they thought that they were late, but we just did not notice. They comped $ 75 bucks worth of booze for making us wait. Who were we to complain? I will be back to Noche!

I was shocked at how filled(~85% by 8pm) Noche was on Tuesday night, considering we almost walked past the awning had it not been for the Valet parking sign! Originally planning to dine with the girlfriends for restaurant week menu, all 4 of us changed our minds when we saw the regular and bar menu. The waiter started us off with those plantain chips that all 4 of us thought were kinda stale. Lucky for us it comes with a side of spicy mayo that you can slather the chip with. No refills please. I ordered the AWESOME chicken, chorizo, and shellfish paella. For $ 25, I got a huge dish of flavorful spicy peppery rice studded FULL with chorizo, bites of chicken, mussels, clams, green peas and a scrumptious ½ lobster tail!!! There was so much food I ended up taking half of it home. 2 of my girlfriends ordered the BBQ chicken, and both of them cleared their plates! Another girlfriend ordered off the bar menu and got lobster quesadillas, which she also conquered. Noche isn’t cheap… not at all, but the food quality and service is excellent. After clearing our dinner plates, our server even continued to fill our glasses with water for another hour and a half. Overall a great dining experience. Nothing like I thought the basement of a shack that I couldn’t find at the beginning of the night would be!

Dined and drank at the bar at Noche on a Wednesday night and was very impressed with the layout, food, and drinks. The way this place was designed makes the restaurant look much bigger than it actually is. The mirrors and lights create a great optical illusion. They also have a small private room with a table for 12. For food and drinks we had: DRINKS: South End — Nothing like sweet muddled strawberries in your drink. Sparkling Sangria — Sangria with chanpagne, perfect! Moscow Mule — Almost like a mojito, sweet and light FOOD: Noche Mini Burgers — Looked pretty typical but the avacado and spicy ketchup adds a great kick Patacones — Their take on sweet fried plantains, simple and surprisingly my favorite item Lobster Quesadilla — I always get conned by the server to order something I normally wouldn’t get but since it has lobster I get convinced it must be way better. A good but pretty standard quesadilla, couldn’t realy taste much lobster

Having exhausted my dining possibilities on Newbury Street, I went on a search for something new, maybe a little less known and parent friendly. When I came across Noche, I knew I was pushing my luck a little on the parent thing. But hey, I’m a sucker for cocktail lounges so off we went. We arrived early, around 7 so it was still pretty quiet. The décor is trying to be modern but I kept getting that feeling like we were in my Grandparents’ basement. You know, the kind of basement that feels like you’ve entered a time warp and been transported back to the 70’s. I don’t know what it was, maybe the mirrors? Anyhow, the cocktail menu looked great but I just couldn’t pass up the cherry vanilla manhattan. It was perfect. Strong with just the right amount of sweet. On to the food. Our server was great about making recommendations, especially since my parents have very specific tastes. My mom and I went with the pasta, my sister with the filet mignon and my dad with the sea bass. All of the dishes were definitely solid choices. My family raved about how much they enjoyed the food, the ambience and the service.(sigh of relief) I think this place has a lot of promise. In the future, I’ll probably come back for the cocktails but it looks like they’ve changed their menu so who knows!

I’ve been trying to make it here for a while, and alas this weekend, I’ve succeeded. Upon the first door, it feels like you’re waking into a dungeon but upon opening the giant door, a very modern, chic leather mirrored interior is there to greet you that feels anything but dungeony. The wait staff pleasantly take our coats, seat us and we place our orders. The plaintain chips are awesome! For app we get the Tuna Tartar to spilt. A good sized portion to spilt before a meal mixed with tobiko and dotted with takuan. Combine it with the plaintain chips served as bread and you’re good. For entrée I got the snapper in coconut milk, leeks & fennel. Although the dish was well prepared and was eatened to the last bite; for the price and atomosphere I was a bit disappointed with the display my meal was served as just a slab of fish on a white plate with no garnish. The pulled pork was good, but with the price, something a little more special could have been added to distingush it from a family dining resturant. The cucumber Gimlet was awesome, I’ll cheers to that. Overall, a pleasant experience, I would def return for drinks and apps, but not for a full meal again.
