| - Went here last night with my boss, coworker and husband. It was Cinco de Mayo. Cocktails were on special for $10 and Coronas for $5. We all ordered drinks, my boss ordered wine, I ordered the Wheelchair Jimmy my friend ordered the "I need a vacation", and my husband the Corona. I really liked the Wheelchair Jimmy it wasn't too strong. I enjoy fruitier drinks
I didn't really like my friend's cocktail too much.
There was live music when we went the band was excellent. The lady sang Latin music, a guy on keys and another guy playing percussion.
There was a lot of good choices on the menu.
My boss ordered clams and he loved them, he kept the sauce even though all the clams were gone and dipped his bread in it.
I got a dozen oysters as well as the salmon tartare. Some of the oysters were tiny but I guess I can't complain because it was "a buck a shuck." I enjoyed mine with lemon and hot sauce and a tiny bit of horseradish provided. Came on a nice stone platter in a bed of salt.
The tartar was okay I think it needed just a little bit more salt and acidity, but it was a lot to eat. I would advise people to share that plate for sure. It's under the shareables part of the menu but I ordered it as my main and it was a lot.
My coworker ordered the piri piri shrimp tacos and I didn't taste them but she said they were good. My husband ordered the calamari and it wasn't breaded but it was good. They asked if he wanted it grilled or fried -he got grilled.
For dessert we all ordered different things, the chocolate cake, churro doughnuts and the cheesecake. The chocolate cake was good not super rich, but just right. The cheesecake was okay, tasted good but didn't like the texture, my husband didn't like it. I loved the churro doughnuts- they were very hot(be careful), crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside on top of Nutella mousse. It was excellent.
Would definitely come back again service was good. It was a bit loud but it is a restobar. The crowd is a bit older, around 40-60.
Our bill total came to $49 the waitress had given us the wrong bill. It actually came to $151. Pretty good considering all that we ordered. My boss was surprised it was cheap. I had a great time. Would come back again, definitely ordering the Nutella donuts again.
