What to order: Benton’s Old‑Fashioned · Chang DogFun experience for a first timer. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the show. It’s a science project happening with every drink. I had 2 and enjoyed both. The second one was better as I requested the flavors I was desiring, voila here is a perfect cocktail. I enjoyed the phone and looked forward to returning. Try the citrus ginger spicy drink for a kick.

The margarita slice was delicious, with the marinara sauce tasting straight out of a good pasta.

What to order: TrioFongos · Ensalada de AguacateI had been wanting to come to this restaurant for so long and the opportunity arose to see one of my favorite comedians there so I took it. So excited to then be so disappointed. My mother purchased tickets for the event but I noticed that there was no seating information so I called the event coordinator early that morning, I live upstate NY so I have to plan my day accordingly, only to be told to contact him after 10am to make sure the event was happening, no problem, did that and no response
