“A venue that has sound covered in all directions. With a nice area for table service... Tasty drinks, fair price on bottle service. Though there was a mishandling of our bill. Thankfully it was corrected though took some effort. Had various tacos and chips. I had a mushroom taco that was truly unique.”
“We did the mother day experience and the food was great!!!! Service was timely and professional. My lady was very happy on the location and the vibe it gave with live music and decor.”
“I didn’t eat here but had a couple drinks and enjoyed their Latin night! It’s a gorgeous place and super fun for a night out!”
“We’ve been here multiple times for birthday brunches and it’s always been so much fun!! Bottomless mimosas for 2 hours and a great DJ playing Latin music on Sunday’s. The staff is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful. The owners really went all out on making this place look vibrant and fun. Pictured is the Cochinita Benedict which is unique with the esquite fritter. We’ve also had the avocado toast, guacamole, coconut French toast and Churroulette (careful one has habanero!) and all were good!! I definitely recommend this place for a fun date, girl’s night or birthday event!!!”
“Excellent service. Beautiful atmosphere. Creative and delicious food.”
“Went for Sunday brunch for my sister's birthday. They had an awsome DJ. Drinks were strong and delicious. I tried the margarita flight. They also had bottomless mimosas. They even brought out a birthday sash and crown for my sister!!”
“music used to be great now it's just good, reasonably priced drinks, happy hour used to be one of the best around Fulton market, unfortunately not anymore, updated the menu and reduced it to something to do one time and not coming regularly. Forgot to take pictures of the new ones but the ones in my review are the old ones. Still fairly cheap for Fulton.”
“Cute atmosphere, small menu, priced for the west loop. I've given Tabu a 3 based on the limited variety, the food was good, nothing that wowed.”
“Went to Drake Tuesday (12/23) and really enjoyed the vibe and ambiance. The DJ, however, was absolutely terrible and the only reason I made this review. He did not know how to transition songs (he’d use police siren audio to cover his bad technique) and he would not stop yapping on the microphone in the middle of each song he played. Genuinely would have been a 10/10 night if the club just played a Drake playlist off of Spotify with a little bit of Rihanna/pnd/21 savage sprinkled in. Please do not use that DJ anymore bc he is not a DJ.”
“Not it. Steak and egg was disgusting. The meat seemed rotten and gave my friend food poisoning. The vibes were dead. Table was so wobbly and the chair felt unstable. Everything felt rushed even though it was half empty. High hopes but definitely didn’t deliver.”
“Good food and service. Nice wide open area. We will go again”
