   I arrived at 7:10 for. 7:15 reservation. Hostess asked if we could wait at the bar for 10 minutes while they got the table ready. After almost an hour at the bar I told my wife I think they have forgotten us . She went to the hostess and yes they had forgotten they sent us to bar. It took about 10 more minutes to get a table. Then literary no one ever showed up to wait on us. I asked a server if they could find our waiter and he never returned. Then I approached the hostess and asked if anybody was going to wait on us….. she shrugged , I got my wife and left.

   We went on a Monday night. It was super weird but we were the only people in the restaurant at 6PM and when we left at 7, there was only one other couple and a small group of golfers walking in. The patio area is large and nice. The food is unremarkable. We went to try Cuban food but the menu is a weird bit of American, Italian, Asian and some Latin American. It could be hopping with a band and other humans but not that night.

   Atmosphere was friendly and lively, and we like their booth seating arrangements; very comfortable and intimate but still in the hub. On the Saturday night we went the place was jumpin, which was a problem for the wait staff. They tried hard but it was hard to keep up I guess. The menu is very innovative, but a few of the dishes, like the Fish Ceviche which consisted of uninspired slabs of fish with no avocado or anything to make it more appetizing, and the Caprese with not great tomatoes, seemed off. Their Calamari and their hamburgers and chunky amazing fries are super yummy. The entertainment, St. Andrews Fire was excellent entertainment and made the evening very fun with dancing and singing along.

   A fun and lively experience! We were able to try new foods, Peruvian and Cuban in a lively atmosphere with live music! Our waitress was great, and the band - St. Andrew's Fire were a fun group covering all eras of rock and pop. I loved the booth seating, it felt very glamorous and the decor was very fun and festive. It's a local favourite, you can tell by how everyone mingled. We really enjoyed it!

   Food was amazing, the staff is attentive and very customer service oriented. The bar and restaurant have a great ambiance. And to top it off, great live music. I highly recommend BaBaLoo Lounge.

   Granted it was NYE but we expected a better experience. Service was very slow, they kept getting our order wrong, they brought our Son the wrong drink, then instead of bringing our salads we ordered they brought three orders of bread. The entrees came before we had our appetizers. The only good service we received was from the young bus person, he was working hard and was kind. The food was good but for the price we expected a better experience so the lack of service ruined our experience.

   Always fun with live music. Creative food and quick service due to the light crowd on the night we visited.

    What a fun place! Went with friends and had a great time. The music is terrific. And we had amazing service. We tried numerous starters and they were all delicious-particularly liked the shrimp tacos and ceviche. I will definitely go back.
