$12 for a Tito's and soda. Insulting is an understatement. Heard lots of great things about this place, but I have no idea what they were talking about. The place is small, with uncomfortable chairs and way overpriced drinks. The menu is pathetically small and overpriced. Additionally they had a "security guard" at the door, which was very off putting. Never ever going to spend another penny here. Move on to places that actually care

Dishonestly lists it's menu prices by adding a resteruant set fee to the price. If they were honest they advertise the true price.

$13 bucks for ramen on Fremont Street!! There's probably no better value than TOMO noodles downtown. I hope they don't raise their prices, because the ramen is totally worth it. The flavor, quality, size portions is all there for the tokontsu noodle bowl. I have no complaints at all. I went when the place was empty so not sure if the quality declines if they were busy. The food came very fast. Plenty of places to sit and dine in comfort at this food hall. Needless to say, i was surprised by how good this place was. I had tempered expectations given the low price for this ramen bowl and I was pleasantly surprised. The Laughing Lion on Youtube 😻.

***$3 MIND BLOWING TACOS*** First of, I eat meat and didn't care that this place is vegan. The flavors are amazing! Affordable, flavorful, in a fun neighborhood to explore, and you feel really good after eating it. Please go out of your way to make it here.

$$$ no go ALL my food was lukewarm and very pricey. It was like it had been placed under a heat lamp. I had a cappuccino after that was also lukewarm and had been sitting around awhile. We had a beautiful view and good friends to talk to while we ate. Our waiter was very friendly and did his best. I would not recommend this restaurant. There are so many others that have better food and cost a lot less for the experience.

$$$$$ Me and my girlfriend we were looking for an italian restaurant. Service was excellent very friendly staff. Food is overpriced for what it is $100 for a pepperoni pizza, pasta and 2 small cokes. The Place is fancy if you’re trying to impress your partner but if you’re just traveling not a good place to eat at.

Husband and I went to this location in Orlando over the summer, which the service kinda sucked, and he had a hard time getting any meats. We decided to go back one more time on Dec 23rd and give them another chance. Big mistake. As he got towards the end of his meal, he noticed the meat smelled off and decided to stop eating. It wasn’t long after that he started feeling sick, but we thought maybe he was dehydrated. Later that night he ended up getting violently sick. We had only ate one time that day and it was at Fogo. After he immediately felt better. Fogo served meat that was expired. He left a review on yelp and google, as anyone would do after such an experience, and Fogo deleted them. Beware…they’re hiding their bad reviews and do not care that they’ve made people sick. For the price you have to pay for their full experience, it’s a slap in the face. I will check back for my review and if it’s deleted, I’ll repost it til it stays.

$$$$ Dining for $$ Room 39 has all the hallmarks I look for in a good restaurant: local sourcing, farm-to-table approach to the menu, balance of flavors, and the ability to make good wine pairings for each course. The food is what will bring you back, but the service is also up to snuff. You can order off the a la carte menu, but you shouldn't bother. Set the menu down, order the tasting menu, and let the kitchen work their magic. I would recommend reservations. The tasting menu is a steal at under $50, and you can add wine pairings for another $35. For KC, this is a bit on the high end, but it's worth the price. Next time I'm in the area, I will be going back.

Still a great place to go Went in today because we were close by and hadn’t been in a couple years.I had the best patty melt ever, and ice cold beer. Service was friendly and quick. It’s a laid back place with a couple pool tables, a few pinball machines and a good view of whatever game you want to see on tv. It’s cash only but that’s ok, the prices are really reasonable and we hit happy hour and were surprised by how good the prices were. From here on we will make it a point to go more often, nice to know it’s still the same great place with a local laid back vibe.

Very good small place in museum area. Place is small and well decorated. Food is very good and served at the right pace. Restaurant uses locally sourced fresh ingredients and it shows. Service is very attentive but not intrusive. Very nice place on the Philadelphia food scene. Prices are on par with food quality. Highly recommend this place!

Food is good but 2/3 times we’ve been there our food didn’t come out. This last time we sat at the bar (drinks are 100%) and ordered sushi, steak and lobster mac… it never came out. After a long while we just asked to tab out. They waived the bill but it is an odd pattern.

Pork hash with the pave potatoes was delicious. Really enjoyed the enchiladas with chicken. The pierogies were a great appetizer! Food was on the pricey side though.

Try the $49 special Amazing food. The meats are endless and even the salad bar has great selection. The parking situation could be a bit better, but what do you expect downtown. The value is great is you go for the $49 special.
