Ate brunch here. Walked in music was loud. Loud is ok for night time settings. Inside in need of a few repairs. Front door need repaint. Carpet torn. Seats had tears. Overall nice atmosphere. The music was good. Food was good. I ate the loaded fries and drank eye candy cocktail. I would recommend this place for night time dates or gatherings.
The vibe was off the chain! I pulled up on karaoke Thursdays and the DJ was bumping all the hot hits and old school! Salmon sliders were a hit in my book full of flavor. Now the only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because no matter what you purchase it was an automatic 20% gratuity. Even if there was only 2 people at your table and I didn’t know until I looked at the tab. Now Unless I missed a sign when I walked in; It would be nice for the servers to mention this to the customers.
My friend and I got seats at the bar because all of the EventBrite tickets were sold out for Saturday for a table. I have mixed feelings about this place. It's nicely appointed, good location in Arlington and minority/woman owned (Shout out to her). We went for brunch and when I go to brunch, I try to envision a place I could bring my parents to or someone I'm getting to know. That being said, I would not bring the aforementioned group here. It is definitely a day party, club type of vibe. They have a d.j. and he was good and the music is loud. Too loud to hold conversations.This is the type of place I would bring girlfriends to for a mid-day turn up! If you're trying to converse with your company, go elsewhere because it's like being at a club. I'm not sure if this is what the owners intended, but that is the vibe.I have no complaints about my food or drinks. Our bartender/waitress was amazing. My food was good too. Just so you're not shocked if you decide to go, they do charge 20% on every ticket, you will receive plastic flatware (think Waffle House) and our mimosas came in plastic "glasses". I don't know, maybe it's a health concern due to Covid-19. Overall, I will probably go back when I have out of town people who want to turn up a bit.
I went here with a total of 12 women for our monthly brunch meet up. We had a reservation. When we got there they divided us into three different booths which did not even face each other. We then requested that they put the tables together like a normal restaurant would do, which would make more sense so that we could all mingle. The hostess stated “we have a lot of walk ins so we can’t do that.” My thing is- we had a reservation so we should take priority over walk-ins. Finally she decided to take our suggestion, and put the tables together so that we were all sitting together. I’m big on customer service so I didn’t care for the push back that was given. Our actual waitress was nice, but overall the service wasn’t anything to rave about. The food and music was great. I had the catfish shrimp and grits. A few of my friends ordered drinks that took years to come to the table- and then we were rushed off upon arrival of the next reservation. We were also told that the bill could only be split four ways. Imagine 12 people having to arrange how the check would be paid, and add the slow service- then to be rushed to leave. I’d suggest a more organized system be established to make the experience of large parties more pleasant.
Food, drink and decor is cool…Live DJ is a plus! Slightly unorganized…they never responded to my email, as I had questions and no phone number. Service was fast and slow! It was cold inside (and already cool outdoors). We enjoyed ourselves overall.
So this is my second time giving this place a chance! Because I support. You can’t sit down and eat here and unless you getting a bottle. It wasn’t a cover the two times I went. I wasn’t instructed to go to the bar twice to order food. First time they said no I counldnt. Second time I went to from and said can I at least get a to go order and they so go ask the bar. He said only baskets.Ordered two Hennessy and cokes and one was a double and the bill was $47 since the included gratitude regardless which $7.20. Decorations was cute thought.
This was our first time at the ESO Mimosa Bar. We were just trying something new and different before we hit the road to go home. There was a line when we arrived (that’s how I know it’s going to be good). The vibe was great and the food was amazing!! We ended up sitting at the bar by choice in which the guy bartender was really cool. The owner came to drop something off and ended up checking on us. Overall we will definitely be back!!!
Saw this spot on Tiktok. My first time going was Saturday for brunch. Our table wasn’t cleaned until we told the waitress who brought us a wet towel to clean it. The waitress was sweet. The southern belle mimosa was ok. Ordered the Cajun chicken & waffles with eggs…the eggs were cold and tasted like the eggs they give you in the hospital after having a baby. The music was nice but, it’s a no for me.
Stopped by on a Wednesday after work, wasn't crowded at all. Waitress Kirsten was very nice and checked on us often. Although it's not a big menu, the food we ordered was fresh and good. I reccomend the honey Lemmon pepper wings
I visited this place today on Jan 23. I had to wait an hour and a half which I didn’t mind thinkingwaiting , I was in for a treat. They ran out lamb, they didn’t have waffles, no Hennessy, no to go plates, it was a mess. They limited us to just the brunch menu then we were limited to what we could order from that menu because they ran out . I am highly disappointed!! Then I am place by the window and it’s filthy. The only good thing was the music ! Tropical mimosa is supposed to be in a pineapple yet they ran out. So we paying same price for less plus 20% gratuity is automatic added for nothing .
