I had booked 2 spots for a birthday celebration on a Friday for the “Cuban Friday: Havana Ventu + DJ Suave + Afro-Latino Dance” events, it was epic from the beginning to end. This was our first time at Lula and we felt most welcomed from our arrival at 7pm to our departure at almost 1am. Our super hardworking waitress (Camille) was also amazing with explaining the menu to us, giving the celebrant a special birthday drink and so much more. Camille checked on us through out the time we were there. Our Afro-latino dance instructor was great as well. We got salsa/bachata dance lessons for an hour and you could tell that the audience enjoyed the tutorial. Many people participated and joined the fun. Then the Havana Ventu live band took over serenading us with beautiful dance music from 3 lead singers (and other band members). It really felt like we were in Cuba. They entertained us with music and stories while we danced, ate and drank. It was beautiful. There were so many birthday celebrants in attendance so they also sang a special birthday song with lots of celebrants dancing on stage with them. OMG!!! We had never seen anything like it before especially in Toronto!!! After the live band. DJ Suave took over and the music selection was epic!! We danced and dance and the dance floor was forever busy with people dancing salsa/bachata, forming dance circles, switching dance partners etc. It was super funnnnnnnn!! After DJ Suave, Havana Ventu live band took over again and we continued enjoying the live band music until our departure at almost 1am. This restaurant gave us an escape from our busy lives in the Toronto and it felt like we were on a Cuban vacation!! OMG we forgot to say that the food was delicious too!! You’ve got to try the Tres leches cake it’s the absolute best!!!!! Words cannot express how great we felt at Lula Lounge but be rest assured that we will be back and are already spreading word to family and friends about our epic experience. -Ella :)

So we were a party of 5 and we had a horrible night there for so many reasons! We went there with a great enthusiasm to learn and dance salsa but the instructor was rarely visible and then there was literally no space to try those moves. The price for the drinks were much more expensive than the other places and it wasn't even good either in the size or the taste! Our desserts came just after the appetizers. Obviously we rejected them. And then it wasn't coming till after midnight! While Nobody seemed to know what is going on! we also waited too long for main course. (The main course served at 11) We asked for dessert and the bill dozens of times and finally because of your poor service you offered us five free drinks which we ordered 3 mohitos and two tequilas but you served us 5 mohitos and then you finally brought the bill and considering all those mistakes we generously paid a 100 dollar tip then we noticed you unbelievably charged us for those free drinks, And then we waited Half and hour to get our bill corrected but instead we got 60 dollars in cash! Who use cash these days? The waitresses kept saying the manager would come and talk to you but that unqualified manager never showed up! About the music; it's not called music it was only noises. The sound quality was definitely drastic and in addition to not being able to communicate with anyone, it was hurting our ears ,and we left the place with horrible headaches because of the unnecessary loud volume of music and the poor quality of the audio! I believe the songs were beautiful if they were not deafening us! We would have left the place very much sooner if the crew hadn't stalled us for so many hours! Based on the reservation we should have left the place at 11 but we were waiting for the bill till 12:30! The wrong bill!

I visited your location last night after returning to Toronto. I was wowed by how big it looks. My friend invited me to go. I arrived planning to do a bottle service. This is where we ran into serious service issues: 1. The female security outside was not friendly or welcoming whatsoever, contrary - she wouldn’t even bring a host out to explain our options (there was not a big crowd or line, it was before 10pm). It seemed like she didn’t want us to even be there at all. 2. When I insisted to speak to a host she allowed me to the desk but forced my spouse to stand outside when he obviously would be needed to make a decision, again that area was not full of people and unnecessary to make him stand outside the door. Just rude. 3. Speaking to your host we continued to sense an attitude of exclusivity like the customer doesn’t matter. Trying to organize bottle service we sensed that your staff feel that your establishment is so successful you don’t need customers. They said everything was reserved, ok, but offered no solution for bottle service. Shall we dance with a full bottle of VSOP, ice, mix and glasses in our hand? The reality is I didn’t know you required reservations, the last time I was at Lulus was many many years ago and it was comfortable bar - but if I didn’t know of the evolution, isn’t that your employees chance to shine? I don’t know, maybe treat my spouse and I respectfully, be proactive to find solutions, and for next time I also do my part now knowing about reservations? Win new customers and new loyalty. Going out prepared to spend $500-$1000 in a night you don’t expected to be treated like a farm animal. Our experience was extremely disappointing and your staff need customer service training.

Enjoyed another fun night here at Lula lounge. Reserved for a party of 9. We were stuck in traffic and had to call to ask them to extend our reso for an HOUR and they still kept it! Thankfully! Caribana and Velde weekend, ya know. Portobello Relleno was very good. Starter Carnitas were good. My friends said the salmon was good. The dancing and salsa lesson were FANTASTICO!! The entire atmosphere was electric! The crowd is very welcoming on Salsa night and everyone dances with everyone. The band was awesome. Sound system was ok for Dj, but terrible for the band. You couldnt hear the band and they kept getting off key due to the reverb. But that didn't affect the dancing. So much energy that everyone just kept going. Bartenders were awesome. Bring cash because after 10pm, they're cash only. Our particular server lacked any personality and didn't check back with us except to bus our table. She told us to go to the bar and get our own drinks. Too bad because she could've made a lot of money. Her loss. We had to get all our own drinks and waters. Luckily, the bar wasn't too crowded to get there and we were all energized by the dancing so it made up for the lack of service we received. Overall a 4 for the entire evening. If you love live music and salsa, this is your place!

This is primarily a food review, the place is a cool dance hall though and the dance lessons were fun. I found the tres leches cake great, it sat a while cause I was dancing but even then the soaked cake didn’t fall apart and it wasn’t too sweet either. For the al pastor taco, the meat was slightly dry and the medium salsa was practically water with a bit of spice coming in at the end. Honestly though it was on the higher end of my taco experiences in Toronto, my friend who’s had tacos elsewhere said they weren’t that great. The slow cooked pork dish had super tender pork and a nicely sweet glaze, but I wish there was more glaze, and there was more rice and less beans. The peppers and plantains don’t do anything for me, and I wish there was more salt across the board. It took a while for us to order food after we got drinks but once we got our waitress’ attention it was easy and she was nice. I think that’s whatever though cause we had a 14 top and it seemed like everyone in the place is handled at the same time at open.

Beautiful venue. I had been years prior for a concert - this time we came for the Latin vibe. We had a big party as it was my birthday, the food was great and the evening was fun. However the dance lesson didn't allot time for people who were being served their meal, so we had to rush our pricey though delicious meal, and in turn didn't get to learn the steps we were looking forward to learning as a part of our evening. Also the teacher had the lesson music hooked up to his phone and he didn't mute it so he kept getting notifications during the lesson, including a phone call on the venue speaker haha! The live band was great - though between sets I really wish they wouldn't turn it into a club vibe, it was too loud and the music was bad. We weren't there to get tanked and do dumb things, we came for salsa night with the live band, so maybe stick to that vibe while the band is on break and we can keep the fun and dance going. I'd have left then, but I was the reason everyone showed up!

Our group came for Lula's Sunday Drag Brunch. The cost is $55/person, which includes one mimosa, table mini muffins, one entrée, unlimited coffee/juice/water, and the fabulous show hosted by Champagna! The DJ filled the space with music that makes you want to dance. Lots of birthdays were being celebrated as well! I ordered the Chilaquiles as my entrée. The chips were crispy and paired with some sauce and beans. I requested some extra salsa to go with the meal as well. I felt that the dish was a bit bland even after the additional salsa. I'll order something different next time. My friend is vegan, and she was satisfied with the vegan nuggets and home fries. My other friend ordered the waffles, which were nice, and on the sweeter side. The show was so much fun! Champagna is amazing and super funny. You can tell she's well experienced with hosting a show. There were two additional Queens that put in the work for this Sunday show. The crowd had a great time.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE! Friday night was my first time experiencing the Lula Lounge. I had gotten a couple of Instagram ads and I am an avid fan of dancing and Latin music, so I decided to try it out with a friend. So you can either buy a ticket/pay at door to experience the dance/band or you can purchase a $64 package and get a 3 course meal (drinks extra) and the dance/band. I got the package. The food was okay - a little dry. But boy oh boy- the music was absolutely fantastic. The event and floor managers made sure to check on the tables and walk around and dance too. The servers were readily available. Honestly a must-try experience and absolutely perfect for date night. It’s more about the vibe than the food to be honest. But everyone’s really friendly and the patrons are great too. Just everyone trying to have a fun time. Also they have cash coat check for around $3.50

  • Rgb

The famous Lula Lounge, I went here recently for a special date, and I'll recommend going for bigger groups, solo, or just to dance. Food: 3/5 for Fri/Sat nights, for $69 you get a three course meal, plus access to the show at night(typically $30). This is a pretty good deal, but the food was okay. If you are in a big group like bachelorette parties I saw, it is a great time. For more intimate, I recommend going somewhere before and then heading to Lula Lounge. Waiters were great, and friendly. Atmosphere/Entertainment :5/5 This is the main reason you come to Lula, the show and dancing. The free dance lesson included in your show ticket, while not very instructional, was great. The artists include some of the very best Latin artists of Toronto. Bring your dancing shoes, have a cerveza and enjoy the show.

  • Amanda Tavares

Celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and it was awesome! We had a group reso of 18 and went with the prix fix menu, dance lessons, band, dj and stayed till the very end. The majority of my group had never been to Lula Lounge (myself included) and we all had a blast. We werent sure what to expect, but this place and their staff did an excellent job.The service was amazing-- Dave and Maria were very friendly, helpful and attentive to make sure I had a great birthday. Everyone said they enjoyed their food and cocktails. I really liked the shrimp starter and salmon. We ended up getting bottles as well--this may just become a new fav spot. Also, the music and band was unreal sound and great vibes. We will definitely be coming back and looking forward to seeing Dave again!

  • Aliya D

I loved the dancing lessons and live music at Lula lounge ! I would definitely visit again. Service was friendly, but extremely unorganized. Not one dish was brought out to the right person. The servers had to ask our table of 15 whose meal was whose. Half of the table received their meals while the other half did not. The food arrived quite spaced out. Half of my party received food 20 minutes after the first half. The food was good, dessert was great. We paid an extra fee for serving the cake which we were aware of, however, we told them not to store it in the fridge and sure enough, they did. The cake was too hard to cut through / to serve to our guests. The fee was paid for no reason. Nobody ate the cake because we couldn’t.

  • Marty Kari

I believe this place deserves 2.5 stars at most but I’ll be nice. The food wasn’t worth the price - it was too expensive and poorly done. The steak was gummy and the chicken was bitter. The desserts were the best part. We ordered all the appetizers off the menu but none were made to share. The service was okay - most of the staff were lost when we requested something or forgot our orders. We requested that the band played happy birthday for the birthday girl, but it wasn’t coordinated with the cake and the band pointed to someone completely different in the audience on the opposite side of the room. Cover is typically very expensive but the music is good so I’d only recommend this place for dancing.

  • Louie Parker

An establishment that can shine with a few improvements. Gotta provide better service. Staff were not very well trained. Service was slow and frustrating. Asked 3 different waitresses to clear the table. Took 30min to get that done. Poor selection of wines and corkage was refused even though the gentleman at the front door had told me that they do provide that service. Food was mediocre, their signature dish which was the short ribs came out cold. Best dish was the quac. Slight improvements here and there can really up this place. Wish I could buy this place and transform it. But, understanding the type of crowd this neighborhood attracts, maybe I was expecting too much. Best wishes.

  • Theo Christopher

Purchased tickets for a comedy show we were looking forward to as soon as tickets went on sale. We arrived early and waited in line for 45 minutes before the hostess told us there were no seats available in the auditorium but we were welcome to sit in the lounge (separate room completely away from the stage) or go on the balcony where there's no food or drink service. This seemed to be the status quo to her. There were over a dozen people standing in the hall due to lack of seating. We grabbed a couple of drinks and found seats at the back of the balcony and could barely see the stage. They clearly oversell events while sacrificing their patrons comfort and service.

  • Luigi

The good: Dance lesson was great The live band was solid and fun The bad: $30 cover $10 minimum drinks that felt very watered down Would be nice if the upstairs area had elements that break up the volume a little so that people could have a conversation The Ugly: Basically non existent air condition! Everyone was soaked to the core after a couple of songs The DJ?? Oh the horror. July 15th DJ may have well been the worst DJ I’ve heard in a club (not hyperbole). The most nonsensical mixes and drops. Interrupting great songs way too fast. Not reading the crowd at ALL! Would have been better off with a shuffle playlist on Spotify. Left early because of this.

  • Sue Say

The club itself was just hot. My girlfriends and I were dying of heat trying to enjoy our meal. It was understandable that it was busy. It was in the middle of a street festival. The servers were all very nice. And we did wait almost 3 hours for all our food and drinks to come. We were patient and absolutely not mad at service because of how busy it was. Everyone tried to help. However. I paid a lot of money for a 15-ounce steak medium rare, and it came out well done. It was absolutely the worst steak I had. I even complained to the server. The music was awesome. But honestly I was so hungry waiting I ate the dry overdone steak. Very unhappy.

  • sierra anzit

Had an absolutely AMAZING time at Champagne's Drag Brunch held at Lula Lounge! Loved the atmosphere of the venue and the latin music that was being played. The food and drinks were very good. The service and staff were also so friendly and did such an amazing job. The drag queens put on an outstanding energy filled, interactive, and amazing show for everyone. We loved the vibe from both the performers and the crowd to make it such an amazing afternoon. Definitely worth your money! Highly recommend drag brunch for anyone who wants a fun and energy-fun filled experience with some friends or family!!

  • Parnia

I’d like to thank Lula for the amazing night me and my family had last night. We were a group of 15 people with 2 children and 4 teenagers. They were super accommodating having kids and teenagers with us. We first decided to go for a la carte and leave at 10 considering our demography but we ended up staying for the fixed menu and the show. Because we were with teenagers, we left at 11 but still it was lots of fun and the event manager and our service were nice and personable. We will certainly come back with or without kids. Thank you for making our night such an unforgettable one.

  • Caitlin Doyle

We love coming to Lula lounge every other month. It’s a guaranteed great night of dancing and excellent live music! We wish the upstairs lounge was always open as it provides seating options for a night full of dancing especially for people who don’t have a food reservation to go have a drink. Without the upstairs lounge, it makes it more difficult to enjoy the whole experience without feeling crammed. We had dinner once and the food was pretty disappointing. However, the music, space and people make it such an incredible night out! Food: 3 stars Experience: 6 stars

  • Irina S

We bought the dinner package. Arrived there at 7pm as the dinner starts at 7pm on Saturday. The food and service was good. There has been no music until very late. I did not like the dance class as there were too many people, and it was hard for me and my friends to see the dancer's moves. The live music only started at 10:40pm, which is very late in my opinion. Every time we would ask when the live music would start, we were were given different answers. Not well organized in my opinion. We left right after as we were too exhausted by waiting for the live music.

  • Nicola Christie

Came here to celebrate my birthday. And it was lots of fun. The salsa lesson was great, but a little difficult to follow if you’re at the back. Live music was amazing! Food was pretty good. Big portion of braised pork, could use more glaze. Was a little dry. Also the plantain was a little firmer than I’ve had before but still good. Drinks are pricey. $6 for my ice and barely about 6oz of hortchata. Taco was good, and the tres leche was good too. Over all good value. On top of the 69$ prix fixe I only bought the $6 horchata. And then with tip and tax about 100$

  • Edgar

We came to LULA Lounge with some friends for an evening of live Greek music. We had dinner reservations which included guarantee seating with a prix fixe menu, on top of the price for the event ticket. The ambiance was lively and cozy. The seating arrangement allowed for good visibility of the stage (depending on your position). The sound was well balanced, not too loud and clear. The food was actually much better than anticipated with very tasty and satisfying portions. The cocktails were pretty good too. Overall, the staff was friendly and attentive.

  • Dan Swayze

The prix fixe menu on discount day was worth the money. I would not say so as much on a full price day. If you are looking specifically for a Latin club with dinner, it is a good choice and the event manager seems really nice. If you are looking for a Latin club primarily, there are better options. This would have been a 3.5 star, but I was billed for an Espresso I ordered and never received because their machine was broken, yet it never came off the bill. I did not notice until returning home and reviewing the receipt. Not a big deal, but still...

  • Nimet S (Nimi)

Let's list negative things first; *fixed menu price called $54 but they charged $64. *service is not fast or special *it is dans lounge yet way too loud we couldn't even talk to the server. (Literally typed on the phone to show our server what we want) *for one person l paid $130.(fixed meal, 2 beers-each$9.10, and one mojito-$8) *tips fixed to %18 on your bill. Which was insane for the service we got. Some positives; * food was taste alright. I liked the salmon very much. *dance lesson idea is fun(even though you don't really learn anything)

  • Nira Ackm

Girls night out was a success at Lula lounge. The atmosphere and staff was welcoming. We went here for dinner and dancing, we made reservations a week earlier. Food was delicious and our waiter Dave was amazing and recommended his favourite dishes. Live Band and DJ were awesome. The place was packed but enough space to move and dance. (Nice Cooling Dance floor if you get super heated from dancing) Shout out to the security crew, they have a great team who operates the front. We will be back thank you for the great service and good music!

  • Suzette Germano dos Santos

I love coming here at least 2 times a month. The live bands are great! And the music and / or DJ are typically very good as well...BUT last night, May 27th 2023, this DJ was not up to par! I have an ear for music and his transitions were bad, to the point that it was stop and go as you are trying to dance. That said, to whoever is in charge please do not hire him again! I travel over 1 hour to come here and to hear what I heard yesterday was disappointing. Trust me, I was not the only one complaining. Thank you and happy Sunday.

  • Phil Vania

Came here to see the Patsy Cline Birthday show. (It was awesome! Great singers doing wonderful cover of Patsy Cline songs) Besides that great experience this place has a nice cozy atmosphere. The service was excellent and prompt. The food off the menu was very tasty. Missed out on trying their jerk chicken (next time for sure). Ordered the flourless cake for dessert, very nice, but was a little disappointed that it was so small :( All in all great place to view concerts and have a wonderful dinner.

  • Sharon Lee

We celebrated my partners birthday here yesterday with a group of 18 or us for the drag brunch. It was SOOOO amazing. From the initial booking I had with Olga and their team, to the follow ups and then the day of. I could not of asked for a better experience and vibe. The team is very friendly, on point and the DJ was dope. The whole event from the atmosphere, to vibe, to team and performance was quite a fun and awesome vibe. I highly suggest if you have never done their drag brunch!!!!!

  • Noora

Dancing is good, the food is below mid. The service was quite terrible. The servers would ignore us, and even when we asked for a bill, they kept coming and going for a good 40 minutes serving everyone else and flirting with random girls. It soured the whole experience Its not worth the money for the food imo. Its somewhat delicious but nothing crazy The dancing was good and fun. Its very very loud though, and if youre not used to loud clubs and bars, this'll be very tiring very fast.

  • Nost

It was fun but at first I was seated at no table but a chair then moved to a table and we had dance lessons. They were okay but in my case they chose who I danced with even if I did not want to do so, and the food was rice and chicken with salad. I didn't give a 1 because it was pretty good but not a high rating because it was very controlled what we could do and what we did. And definitely not worth $100+ Cynthia is $40 and they are 20x better

  • Vivita Khoshaba

It's very nice and huge. However, ofcourse there is always something:). The initial we came for class early $25 including clubbing, but the teach on stage we can barely see what she is explaining so all I am looking front person of me how they dance I do if its right wrong, doesn't matter. Then the music got heat up later night when I left as it was all same toone so I had to leave not sure that's Spanish music like that.

  • Gail Distefano

I attended the Lula lounge for a musical showcase event. We ordered an appetizer and a main dish each we were four people. I ordered the pork Carnita as my main and it was incredible. My appetizer was a taco with what seemed like a lime Crema and it was so tasty. My husband ordered steak and we were shocked at how delicious the steak was considering we were not at a steakhouse 10 out of 10 for the food .

  • Barb Stuhlemmer

The Neighbourhood around this venue feels family friendly. We parked for free in one of the residential streets just blocks from Lula's and the walk felt safe. The venue has a great atmosphere: kinda funky bar, night club, vibe with an artsy spin. Staff was very friendly and knew their fair. Bathrooms are clean and recently updated but are in the basement. There is one accessible washroom upstairs.

  • Georgiana Collington

Tina Turner Music Night This was an amazing show!!!! Lula Lounge never disappoints!!! Great venue, good music, lovely food & drinks, reasonably priced, excellent service, friendly & efficient staff!!! Shout out to Todd!!!! And the shows are phenomenal!!! A great place in the city to get your grove on and dance the night away Can’t wait to attend the next event!!

  • Kerbie Accime

Celebrated my partners birthday last night. Had an amazing time! The food is full portion and tasty! I loved the salsa lessons but more importantly I really loved how inclusive the vibe is, you definitely do NOT need to be a pro dancer let alone know anything about dancing to enjoy yourself here. Everyone was welcomed and our waitress Maria was a doll. Would definitely come here again!

  • Oscar Jeldres

I paid 100 cad for a Mexican dinner, but it had only the name. My friends who were Mexican did not like it either, as it was not the preparation they had told me. The live music is very good and the dance classes too. Nice ambiance but the food was disappointing. I only recommend it for dancing and drinking industrial beer. The servers were very friendly and the service was very good.

  • namtab

I have to give this place 5 stars because it delivers a great vibe and that's not always an easy thing to do. Besides the drinks and food - go here to be amongst people who just want to hang out and forget about it all and just dance some salsa and bachata. It's not perfect, some staff were amazing, some were not, but overall, a good time was had by all - and that's all that matters.

  • Mariam Lanewala

3 course meal was way overpriced. $70 for an extremely limited menu and had additional charges for about half the prices on the menu. I ordered the shrimp and avocado bliss which was $8 additional and it had only 2 shrimps in the entire thing. There was live music and salsa which was really fun but for most of the time, the music was extremely loud Also there is a $30 cover

  • Andrew Forgione

I’ve been here twice. Great vibe & environment - musicians & staff are kind & accommodating. The food though is terrible. It felt like a cheap wedding. Limited options + over priced. For the price, you’d expect more. It felt as though the musicians & the salsa dancing was at a certain level, and then they’re trying to make profit on their terrible food options. Be better.

  • AJ MASCARENHAS

Hello folks !! What a great time in Lula, The bouncers were friendly, especially so much positive gestures by Neal and entire team. Food was amazing and up on point cant thank Chef: Javier enough for the weekend made right. Special thanks buddy I Server: Rebeca Orellana she was just fantastic. Love the enthusiasm Energy and especially the Latin dance. Must visit place.

  • Ronen Itzkovitch

Had a great dinner and dancing experience. With the new food vendor at the restaurant, the food was exceptional! The house fish with salad was fantastic and the consume was delicious. Live music salsa band playing Friday and Saturday makes for a great dinner, show and dancing experience. Great for dates too although loud music makes it difficult to talk much.

  • Eilen Flortz

I'm not really a fan of Latin music, but the place was amazing, good atmosphere to go with friends, we meet and dance with people there, we feel that we are on vacations in Cuba but was just this place haha, the music band was so good and vibrant. Really good experience... but it is really expensive. I spent $159 in one night :( The drinks are expensive

  • Claudia Gutierrez

I have to give Lula Lounge 5 starts. I celebrated my 40 birthday here and had an amazing experience from beginning to end. I'm Latina so I've been here a couple of times for dancing but first time for the dinner package. I also invited friends from work, none of them Latin and we all had a great time. They truly made my day special. Thank you!

  • Lora Abramovitch

This place is absolutely beautiful! From the atmosphere to to food and the live band. Fantastic!! Food was delishious and very good portions, beautiful decor and surprisingly huge considering from the outside it looks like it would be small place lol. The band was absolutely incredible!! Amazing talent.

  • Sabina Tarable

Lula Lounge was the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday with friends. Great music, awesome food and salsa lessons. Also, the servers were amazing and got it all perfect. I have ulcerative colitis and they never once made me feel bad and accommodated me in every way! Definitely going back. Thank you

  • Natalia Ruiz

If you’re looking for Latin music to dance your night away, don’t look any further! The live band was phenomenal and we were able to dance and sing to our heart’s content. They even switched it up with some Reggaeton later at night. The best drinks we’ve had as well. An amazing way to end our night.

  • Franklin Madison

Awesome food, great drinks! Jerked Chicken and a staff that aims to please. Lawd the bar can make a drink. The music of Kollage and the great Diane Braithwaite. There is a word....perfection. If you don’t go here you have missed the very best of Toronto and shame on you!

  • Mo Ali

Yeah, love medium cooked steak. Gillian was wonderful. The music and atmosphere was next level. Like 2023. The salsa was fire. Not the dip. The dancing. It was so good, I dipped my girl in it. If you want flavour, ask Gillian for some hot sauce. Just know it's 4/5 hot!

  • Judy Lynch

Attended a private event last night put on by jazzFM and saw Caity Gyorgy. I’m surprised by all the negative reviews. I thought the food was pretty good although the service was a bit slow. The venue works well for live music and is a little hidden gem in my opinion.

  • Deborah Fisk

Great bands. Fun atmosphere if u know how to dance or not. Show up early with a table reservation and get dinner and salsa lessons before the band comes on. Really friendly managers and staff. Not dissapointed in the 3 course meal at all. Wear ear plugs!!!!

  • Jon Marier

This place is a lot of fun. The decor feels authentic and gives you the feeling of being away on vacation. The food and service were both top notch. The band and dancing is something special regardless of whether you hop on the dance floor or watch from afar.

  • Sherry Prevost
