Came here with my girl, and it was okay at best. The place may be romantic, but we were the only people in the place. Great place to be if you want to be by yourselves. Food was o...

Charming lounge... 9/10/2005

Celebrated my 32nd birthday at Room 18 this year and couldn't ask for more. The tasty tapas, signature cocktails and wine selection was excellent. The atmosphere and ambience was perfect for an intimate evening with a large group of friends. Most importantly, the staff and owners were warm and accommodating. Pros: atmosphere & ambienc, wine selection, friendly service more

Hot spot! 9/9/2005

discreet and cozy lounge. the french windows and banquette area in the front are the prize seats in the house. tin ceilings, hardwood floors and many other details provide a sexy and romantic ambience. tapas with an asian flare and a wonderful wine selection is satisfying and complete. Pros: sexy ambience, warm friendly service, tasty tapas more

Sweet Spot 12/13/2004

This review is really just for service and atmosphere- we went with a group one Sunday night for drinks after Pizza after Lombardi's- wonderful atmosphere- comfortable and warm. Our bartender/server was charming as can be. All we did was have cocktails, but it was a very pleasant experience. I'm sorry to see all of the negative reviews as we had a very nice relaxed time. Pros: service, atmosphere more

Don't try the sangria 7/19/2004

The sangria was so bad that they exchanged it 4 times. The food is ok but not really tapas. Even with reservation it took them 25 mintues to seat us. more

Terrible service ruins good name 6/24/2004

Let me start out by saying, we heard great things about this place. But beginning with the attitude of the first waiter, things slid from there. The attitude was followed by inattention and continued attitude (slamming drinks down, not checking on us, tone of voice), the evening deteriorated and we simply paid for our drinks and skipped dinner. I had to seek reassurance from my friends that we had done nothing wrong. The place was not crowded and there was no other apparent reason for the horrible service for I would have loved to eat some of the cuisine others rave about. Pros: comfortable seating more

Alluring 5/12/2004

First, must mention that this is a perfect ""date"" bar. Candle lit/brick walled/cushy stooled atmosphere, combined with great food at a VERY reasonable prices. A perfect fit between neighboring Bread and Cafe Lebowitz. Tasty, beautifully presented tapas-style dishes that are pimarily asian-latin flavored make for easy sharing with whoever you're with. I tried crab croquettes, chorizo wontons, and coconut milk chicken....all GREAT. Try to get the pillowed bench seating by the open window for maximum effect....more utilitarian seating/tables are loacated in the back for groups exceeding 4-6 people. Pros: food, romantic, price more

Don't Eat Here 5/5/2004

I'm afraid the word is going to get out that this place is phenomenal. Everything is just about perfect - from the atmosphere to the food - I can't recommend it highly enough. The food is outrageous - everything just about melts in your mouth (try the crispy crab roll and the teryaki calamari salad). Best of all, the prices are extremely reasonable. I assure you nothing here will disappoint. Pros: reasonably priced, great for a date more

Fabulous food, highly recommended!! 5/4/2004

Everything from the soup to the dessert was amazing. Extremely reasonable. Great atmosphere. The only problem was spotty service, because it seems the chef does everything tapas-style (ie. one dish at a time) even when you've chosen the entrees. No big deal, since it's very comfortable and the small wine list is excellent. A great addition to the neighborhood. Pros: Incredible food, Great atmosphere, Very reasonable more

awesome 4/9/2004

I must admit, I'm pretty keen on this place. The seats by the windows with the pillows are really comfortable and the atmosphere is really chill. Must try the crab croquetas, the beef empenadas, and the deep fried crab rolls. If you like tapas and asian food, you'll love this place. Pros: inexpensive, good scene, great food more
