I loved everything about this place, especially that seafood melange with chorizo. It was delicious and to die for. I would love to have that for dinner every night. Definitely have found a new gem of the gramercy/flatiron neighborhood.

It was my second time there. My friend and I came on a saturday night, had tapas and a bottle of very good wine from bordeaux. We order from the new menu which is by the way much better than before. the products were really outstanding. We had the gambas and chorizo skewers, the frisee salad, the scallops, the beef carpaccio and then a chocolate cake. The service was lovely as previous, it seems like the owners are working there, very attentive and professional. and the music is definitely a plus. will be back soon.

We were surprised at the limited menu-only tapas. We shared 3 different sliders, duck, salmon & shrimp, kale salad & polenta balls. Everything was good, not great. Wines by the glass were pleasant. Vocalist singing jazz standards accompanied 2 piece band was a nice touch. It has more of a nightclubby atmosphere better suited to drinks and snacks than dinner.

This was our second time for Brunch here. Truffled Eggs, Eggs Benedict & Green Omelets . Three of us had the unlimited Bloody Marys @ $18 per person and one had a Sazerac which came with walnuts. The drinks and food were all very good. Sadly, the adorable Can-Can performance was cancelled for this Sunday, we hope it will resume soon.

The place was completely empty. Burlesque Brunch was a bit of a surprise, I should have read more carefully. Food was good, but I dont think they should have done the show with only one table. It was a bit uncomfortable watching all the waiters snap photos of the dancer. It clearly was not a show for us.

A friend told me about Tamu Lola's Burlesque Brunch on Sundays and I was immediately intrigued. Upon arriving I discovered a very nice, cozy restaurant almost lounge atmosphere, very relaxing. The food was amazing. I had the brunch burger with parmesan truffle fries. It was so delicious. We were also entertained with a burlesque dancer, very talented with great music. We got to see her perform three times. Quite the treat. I would love to come back during one of their night service as I saw they had live music Thursdays and Saturdays. I strongly recommend this restaurant, we all loved it.
