    Amazing brunch. We were the first in a short line for the door opening. The place filled up quickly, but never lost its cozy ambiance. Our waitress recommended 4-5 plates, and that was perfect for two hungry men. The plates did not disappointed. Find a reason to go.

    Another unbelievable evening at Lil Baba Reeba ! Once again it was beyond our expectations. We had the best server, Madeline! She gave us excellent suggestions on our food. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our group had a fun delicious meal. As always, our drinks made by Slam & Ryan were outstanding! Ola and Salvo really jump in giving this place the most unbelievable vibe it is by far my favorite restaurant and it’s because of these amazing people and your outstanding chefs wow what a team what a place!

    Our waitress was terrible. She showed no customer care, every ask was like a chore. She dropped food in a water glass, didn’t bring a new one. Not a smile, not any engagement to enhance the experience. The restaurant is always solid with food and service. This was the first time I ever felt bad about being there, like it was an inconvenience.

    Ordered the beef tenderloin skewer and the hen of the woods mushrooms. Both were excellent. Wait staff was very pleasant. I’d go back.
