The croquetas are the main event. That croqueta preparada sandwich is a must-order. It&#39;s stuffed with flavor and seriously filling. I always tell friends visiting from out of town to get it.

The outdoor patio at Ball &amp; Chain is a great place to relax with drinks and enjoy live music. The atmosphere is perfect for a fun night out!

Jorge got my order out fast, perfect for a quick lunch. The plantain and yuca croquetas were solid. Croissant bread pudding was the real highlight though.

The lunch special is a great find. The pizza dough is what really stood out to me&mdash;it had a nice, chewy texture and tasted very fresh. The whole pizza was surprisingly large for the price. I appreciate when you can tell the ingredients are quality.

Maria was a fantastic server, so attentive. The portions here are huge, way bigger than I thought they&rsquo;d be. We ended up taking half the pasta home.

First time here, and the food really stood out. The steak was cooked just right, and the plating was thoughtful. John, our server, was a nice guy too.

The Dynamite Roll was fresh and tasty. The booths are comfortable, which made for a relaxed meal.

Came here for a quick lunch and the chicken katsu curry really hit the spot. It was a generous portion for the price, and the curry had a nice warmth to it. Just a solid, no-fuss meal.

Been coming here for years, solid spot for Peruvian food. The ceviche is always fresh, and the arroz con mariscos has great flavor. Just a heads up, it can get a bit pricey for dinner.

The staff here is so nice and helpful! They took time to explain the menu and didn&#39;t rush us at all. It felt really relaxed.

Lunch specials are a solid deal here. Portions are generous for the price, and the quality is consistent. Good option for a quick, filling meal near the office.

Stopped in after a show for a late bite. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good, fresh and hit the spot. The full bar is a nice plus. Parking was easy, too. It&#39;s a solid option when you need something decent after hours.

The grilled provolone appetizer is so good. Perfectly melty with the garlic bread. Quick and satisfying for a lunch bite.

The churrasco here is solid, always cooked right. Their rice and beans are my go-to in the neighborhood, really flavorful.

Our server knew the menu inside out. She suggested the truffle pasta and it was spot on.

A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for with authentic Italian food. The service was friendly and made the meal relaxing.

Came by for lunch after an appointment. The fish fillet plate with rice, beans, and plantains was pretty good&mdash;my picky kid actually ate it. Decent spot, though a phone order option for pickup would&rsquo;ve been nice to avoid the short wait.

Been coming here for years, and the sushi still hits. The uni was so fresh, it practically melted. Presentation is always on point &mdash; feels fancy without trying too hard. A bit pricier than my usual spots, but you can taste the difference.

This place doesn&#39;t look like much, but the asopao was incredible. The broth was so rich and deep. It paired beautifully with a simple, cold beer. The alcapurrias were also spot-on. Just a solid, soulful meal.

The vintage Cuban decor and music are cool, but the portions are pretty small for the price. I ordered the ropa vieja and left still feeling a bit hungry. Kind of a bummer when you&#39;re paying that much.

Stopped in early for a quick bite. The open-faced breakfast sandwich was solid, and the cappuccino hit the spot. Place was clean and quiet at that hour. Just what I needed.

The fish salads here are so fresh, really stood out from the rest of the buffet. Everything else was solid, but those kept me going back for more. Solid spot for a taste of Cuba.

Been coming here for years. The Bife de chorizo platter is my go-to&mdash;always cooked just right, and their chimichurri is fantastic. The space is big and clean, which is nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The passion fruit pisco sour was so refreshing. I loved the balance of sweet and tart. The lychee one was good too, but the passion fruit just hit different on a warm evening.

The paella and tuna tartare were so good! You can really taste the care they put in. Perfect for sharing with friends.
