Removed their vegan options from the menu :(

Unfortunately, it’s not the same…The last 2 years, we used to come quiet often. It felt like going back to my old continent where you can find a cozy place with ambiance and also have a nice bite . But not anymore! It’s pricey (for what was served)and not tasty.

We hosted our small group work holiday dinner here and the staff was incredible. It is an excellent place to share a meal with a group, they have a QR menu that allows you to split up the tab immediately. Service was great, food came out very quickly and was absolutely delicious. The ambience of the back room is so cozy and romantic, they had space heaters and blankets, but we never felt cold, if anything we were feeling really warm and toasty by the end of the evening. Cocktails are incredible. We can’t wait to come back.

The sausage flatbread and the pork belly were absolutely delicious! The food menu has a lot of variety and the place has beautiful ambience.

Beautiful space and ambience. Great mellow music. We ordered the cheeseburger, and it was fantastic. For the price though, it should have come with the fries. We ordered those on the side and there were just meh. The BLT looked amazing, perfectly toasted bread, but thin tomatoes and the bacon was burnt beyond being edible. So black it had to be toxic and something that shouldn't be eaten--so I left much of that on my plate. Espresso martini was delicious. Service was non-existent. We didn't feel any warm fuzzies, no hello-no goodbye, just a silent offering of water, which made us feel unwelcome. And then they want a tip, to boot. Much room for improvement as the space has potential to feel warm and inviting.

Odd experience. Absolutely beautiful space both outside and inside, great soundtrack and lovely looking cocktails. Food was meh. Fries came out lukewarm and pretty dried out and the chaat chicken naan salad was a little sad- both greens and chicken were cold and limpish. I thought it would be the chaat chicken naan freshly cooked and served in a salad form but I suspect it was leftover chicken. But the service was the oddest. I might have thrown them by looking up the QR code menu on the table when I sat down, but they silently brought a glass of water and never offered a paper menu so after a while I just placed the order via the app. They delivered my food with a smile but not a word. No one spoke a word to me until they said goodbye as I was walking out.

I later saw paper menus out and servers chatting with other tables so I might have accidentally signalled that I preferred QR code social distancing? I would go for cocktails and reading the reviews I would try the hamburger - and definitely invite the server to interact 😆

The food and service were amazing!

Really good food. Reasonable prices. Gen Z QR-code ordering system, but you're still expected to tip full boat, despite disorganized service, because of course you are. Still, I'd happily return. Lots of on-street parking within a few blocks,, though you have to pay for it.

I had my wedding ceremony here in February and it was perfect! The outdoor patio is heated and covered and made for the ideal, dreamy location for our small, intimate ceremony. All of the staff were incredibly kind and gracious. The managers were communicative and accommodating during the planning. We had appetizers and cocktails here before and after the ceremony, before we moved to our reception venue; both the food and drinks were wonderful. Our guests gushed over how much they loved out choice of venue. I HIGHLY recommend working with Bar Vacilando for any of your events, and I'm so grateful to the staff that made our wedding ceremony so perfect!!

Love this place! It is a beautiful restaurant with great music, tasty food, wonderful service, and chill vibes. Great for a meal or drinks!

Don’t go if you’re disabled ,especially … if you have a service dog they will make you sit outside on the patio,. I’m told they have heated lamps. If you’re alone with a service dog , too bad! I was waiting for more people, but there’s more restaurants that want to make $$$!

Wheelchair accessibility: Not if you have a service dog. You’re treated like a bad child or 3rd class citizen and told sit outside with your service dog
