I recently saw one of my favorite bands here and was so impressed by the venue and the food that I rated it five stars.
As far as the food goes, my friends and I split the ceviche gazpacho and the quesadilla burger. The gazpacho tasted too spicy for my weak taste buds, but all of my companions raved about it. My mouth watered over the quesadilla burger! This treat was tasty enough to bring me back to The Compound even if I'm not seeing a band (and I live 40 minutes away). Eden, our server, provided excellent service during dinner, and during the show.
We went to The Compound to see a band we really like. We arrived early to eat and get situated in our reserved table. Situated near the stage, the table proved a great place to rest between songs, and it was nice to be able to sit if we wanted. The acoustics in the center of the floor offer a crisper sound than the tables to the side. I really like that we could reserve the table ahead of time and not have to fight for a seat in a packed venue. Matt, the manager, also shared the extra advertising posters with us, which made us all extremely happy.
Not only will I come back for the food, I would not hesitate to see music in this venue. If you like small venues and The Compound is hosting a band you like, you would be crazy not to go.
