Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

    Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

    Valentine's Day was out first visit to Zsa's. A friend had recommended the restaurant, and we were very happy with the find! The food was delicious and the the venue charming. Service was, I imagine, a little stretched because of the VD crowd, but all in all it was a great evening! We opted for the set menu for keep things bubbling along, but we will return on a quieter day and try the other a la carte choices - which also sounded amazing!

    Amazing and attentive service at Danté. My party and I loved the atmosphere there and felt welcome from the moment we walked in until we left. The table service was impeccable and our waiter and bartender were extremely friendly the entire time (forgive me I forgot their names but they know who they were) Highly recommend this place for others. Super worth the price and the dishes were phenomenal. Drinks are on another level. Will be back for sure!
