- MMiriamChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat experience from start to finish! When I made the reservation, only outdoor tables were available so I left a comment requesting to be moved inside if anything opened up - and immediately on checking in, the hostess offered a table inside. The decor is classic and welcoming. Drinks were brought almost immediately after ordering them. Enough staff that someone was always attending to us. Food was delicious, especially the cacio e pepe. Highly recommendMore infoSammie's ItalianPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.8
- AAlexavipHouston •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFabulous! I went there with my girlfriends, mom, & her friend and we had a fabulous time! It’s very trendy, popular, and new so there’s a few kinks in the service area that need work but the food and atmosphere was AMAZING!! We had such a good time! Our server was so great! We did get some things like silverware and drinks out late but overall I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!More infoThe Guest House AustinPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.6

- PPatriciaVancouver / British Columbia •10 reviews5.0Dined on 15 Nov 2024We were drawn back by the menu descriptions in the February newletter and so started with the La Catrina Negra drink. The marigold flower powder was a very fun addition. The Queso appetizer was wrapped in hoja santa leaves that our server told us were grown in Chef Iliana’s own garden. The Estofado Istmeno was also delicious. The crowning touch was the Tamal de Chocolate with orange blossom ice cream. We like the ice cream so much we ordered an extra bowl. Can’t wait to see the next newsletter to see what we’ll be ordering during our next visit.More infoEl Naranjo - South LamarPrice: Expensive• Traditional Mexican• South Austin•4.9
