by Selene Nicolia on i liked the night i spent here listening to stung (the police cover band) even though some things were totally odd about it. but all easily laughed off. for one thing, it was freezing but we couldn't go in until the other people in our party showed up. and they're always late! this was just an annoyance on my part because rules are rules and totally understandable. plus, the guys at the door let us in anyway after i told them a funny story. the inside was kind of confusing in terms of trying to figure out where you were supposed to go if you had reservations, but whatever...there's a bar to keep you occupied while it's figured out. the food wasn't anything spectacular but again...who cares? you're only making reservations so you have somewhere to put your crap during the show. the crowd was also hilarious. SUPER awkward guy trying to make a move on his female friend's friend and was totally blowing it. old people. old people EVERYWHERE. doing old people dances. but this has nothing to do with the venue and i suspect it's just because of the band. so even despite all that weirdness...i had a great time. the venue was super intimate and musty and low ceilinged so i bet it's a great place to rock out to something a little more energetic than a police cover band and i will follow who is playing there to go again.
by Essie Armitage on Went here last night, and had a great time. The decor is very nice, kudos to the ID! Only problem i had with the decor was that i arrived before the rest of my party so i sat up at the bar...some advise to those with junk in the trunk, DONT SIT AT THE BAR! the seats are small and the backs of the seats push you forward... it is hard to stay seated and the last thing you want to be reminded of before a mael is that you have a big ass! BUTT it might not have been just me bc i noticed the bar top kept moving and i think everyone seated at the bar was pushing down on it, trying to schhotch their rumps back to position. onto the food.... Went with a group, so i was able to sample some of theirs too... ended up trying Jaiba, Fish tacos, Shrimp tacos, Torta Cubana.... All good. The shrimp tacos were my favorite, big fried shrimp good slaw and mayo. The fish tacos were packed with fish, but a little bland (Taquria del sol is my fish taco control group and so far they are still #1) Portions are huge! The margs were eh... and a friend had the sangria, said muddeled fruit good, too much club soda bad. Chips and salsa average. It was a very loud place, pretty full and our table ended up playing a game of conversational telephone, poor robert at the end, was more or less dining alone. also, there was a light show and disco ball, note to management, this is not needed. cant wait till nice weather, when i can utilize the patio. Also, dogs allowed on the patio (always a plus) Service... strange, all the girls look the same??? my whole party noticed. My final review: good taquria style food in a good atmosphere, just dont expect to have a conversation. Stick with beer, and share everything, the portions are huge and its a nice way to keep your tab low and your belly full.
by jason l. on The drinks are expensive, but rightly so: each drink is like two drinks but with the power of three, and even if that weren't the case, Martunis: - is classy, and with each sip gets a little classier, and you get classier with it, so by the end of the night your t-shirt & jeans have become a sharp, sharp suit, and you can sing like Sinatra, - is full of the charmingly witty and slightly vicious queens that you thought only existed in romantic comedies to give lovesick women perfect advice, - knows its bourbon, and the staff (or, if you're lucky, Skip [the owner]), will sit and drink with you and make you feel like you're a lovesick woman who just got perfect advice in a romantic comedy, -has a lounge singer who can (and will, upon request) sing "Baby Got Back," and when he sings "I'm The Piano Man," doesn't come off as corny at all, -and will, every time, get you completely hammered. I heart Martunis, and would marry it if only the damn government would get off its collective ass and finally recognize man-bar marriages.
