This was my second time at House 157 and the first visit for my hubby. We had a late reservation on a Sunday night, so it wasn't crowded (which was perfect.) The vibe was everything...perfet ambiance for a date night. The service was good and the food was on point. I will caution you, however, that a lot of the cuisine is SPICY...so ask before making your selections if you do not tolerate spicy foods well. For us, it was fine- we just needed our water refilled regularly lol. We will definitely return.

My girlfriends and I went for brunch and the food was good. We did the endless brunch and it was a mixture of different samplings which were all tasty. We also had a carafe of the Mango mimosas which were nice. My girlfriend has the highball and it was a great presentation. The amibiance was very nice and great for pictures.

I was extremely disappointed with this restaurant. The calamari appetizer was dry and tasteless. The drinks took too long and the restaurant wasn’t even at capacity. The Rasta pasta was cold and presented as if it was just warmed up in a microwave. I ordered a bottle of Prosecco but they brought champagne instead. After I declined the champagne, they magically found the Prosecco in the basement. Overall horrible experience. For a restaurant that’s been open for a while, everything was giving amateur hour. Hope they get it together soon.

The "all you can eat breakfast" wasn't worth it, It's basically tapas and nothing was really good. If you want to save money and go this is an ok option, but I would advise ordering al la carte. the empanada were great.
