by Adam B. on Jazz clubs are perfect for long term couples that need a break from talking to each other at a bar or over dinner. Not nearly as formal as Yoshi's, a perfect solution for some last minute entertainment served with hearty comfort food. The performers are always changing so I can't fairly critique the band I saw under this restaurant review, but will note that you can't expect Ella Fitzgerald quality on a slow San Francisco weeknight! The wine on tap surprisingly tastes better than many similarly priced glasses from a bottle and is more eco-friendly too! Romesco Sauce: Decided to get one of their $1 sauces for all the focaccia bread offered. Reminded me of a fancy flavored hummus with nice crunchy nut bits. Not sure what exact recipe they used, but there was a lot going on... a much better deal than the ketchup! Panko Crusted Fried Burrata Cheese: Burrata is always a special treat because it contains a surprise mix of mozzarella scraps and cream in the center of its outer mozzarella shell. This fried version was able to maintain that unique creamy center by only lightly cooking the outer shell. The contrast of textures and temperatures was amazing! Only wish they had offered more tomato sauce... very skimpy. Short Ribs: A huge chunk of braised short rib spanning the length of three bone segments. The meat was sweet (like molasses) and spicy (like cinnamon) while being perfectly tender throughout. There was even a nice firm bit of meat on the topmost layer. It was served on some sort of acorn squash purée that was decent, but had the weird texture of peanut butter. The pumpkin seeds scattered about added a nice crunch. "Wagyu Beef" Burger: Soft brioche bun and juicy burger. The patty had a good sear so must have been thrown on a very hot surface. The toppings were a little boring and nothing was served on the side which is kind of weird.
by Jess M. on Not only a great bar and restaurant, but hands down my favorite music venue in Philadelphia. It's a perfect size, though on nights of sold out shows, I wish capacity was a smidge fewer people as it can be hard to navigate. While the balcony seems to often put musicians at an unease, it's a great alternative to being floor level without the restriction of being 21+ to get up there (as with some venues). Great lighting for photogs, great local brews on tap with an ever-rotating draft list, delish food (try the Cubano sandwich or grilled cheese/tomato soup combo), again with a rotating menu. Dishes tend to not be consistent from visit to visit as the night's chef(s) decide how to prepare each meal, but everything has always been great. I've never dared try to octopus (a JB's staple), but I've heard great things. Not my first choice when I'm trying to eat on the cheap, but the atmosphere is wonderful. A very relaxed place, often full of 'hipsters', due to its great daily line-ups and moderately priced alcohol fare. Never a disappointment any night of the week.
by Armando Camastro on This place is a lot of fun!! Everyone is so full of energy you will not get bored even if you don't step out to dance. I ate here once but it was not that great son I mainly go for the music. I'm not the best dancer but the energy that gets transmitted in this place just makes you want to head to the dance floor. A few times throughout the night the staff get on the bar and put on a show, fun to watch cheesy outfits. If you're looking for a place that is always alive Mango's is the place to go.
