  • When you hear the word Babalu, what do you think of? Ricky Ricardo, right? So I expected this place to have a retro feel both inside and out, and serve food with a bit of a Cuban flair. While the sign and restaurant logo's choice of font and neon might lead you to believe the retro part, it definitely isn't retro. It's pretty bare-boned inside, giving it a warehouse/loft feel. And that part was fine, but there was way too much lighting inside. The ceiling was cool, made of wood planks, but hanging from it were these awful fluorescent lights that made it feel like a cafeteria. We sat at a hightop table next to the screened window, and it was the perfect night for it with the cooler air outside. The service was great. Our server explained that the tapas were a larger than normal-sized tapas, so that helped us pick out what we wanted. I ordered a pineapple margarita and my partner ordered a red sangria. Our server was standing with us when the drinks were delivered to us and she kind of cringed when she saw that the sangria didn't have ice or fruit in it. It just looked like a glass of chilled red wine. She immediately took it away to get it corrected without us even saying anything. It's strange that she knows what a sangria should look like, but the bartender doesn't? Scary. Anyway, I ordered the shrimp and chorizo skillet, my partner ordered the shrimp and grits, and then we shared the beef empanadas and side of grilled broccolini with goat cheese. All were delicious and served fresh and hot. They came out sporadically, as soon as they were prepared. My skillet was spicy, as I had hoped. The broccolini was a nice addition since we didn't really have any other veggies, and it had a nice charred flavor to it. I thought there'd be more goat cheese than a few sprinkles, but we made it work. All were larger portions than other tapas I've had at other restaurants, just as our server had said. Babalu was a nice dinner out. I just wish it really was more retro and not so bright.
