Esco Tapas Southside - MORROW

Only 2 stars because of the drinks. Food was okay but I have eaten since 11am that day I went there to celebrate my friend 's birthday. I won 't be back. . Way overpriced for what I paid. Drinks were the only good thing there. Honestly Old Smith 's bar has better food and drinks. That 's one problem with black owned places (some of them . You hike up the prices but lower the quality of the food. If I 'm going to spend $97 (tip included on 2 drinks( 1 for her and 1 for me 1 shot, (her a salad (her wings and fries(her Jumbo Shrimp (only 6 and they weren 't Jumbo they were large at best. , fries and Coleslaw (never got . (Me . I expect the fries not to be burnt and fries in old grease. I understand why the place was empty and had only 7ish people including my friend and I there.

The DJ was straight trash. People even requested songs, local artist even paid her to play their stuff and she still wouldn't play it. True story she had it so wack I left, got in the car and the radio was riding harder that

It was def. a vibe....great service shout out to Bri. Drinks were great and I def. will be back.

So... I love the artwork on the inside, but everything else was ?. I ordered the Mac and cheese egg rolls and it took the young lady 30min to come tell me they didn 't have the ingredients to make it. Her excuse was it 's Sunday . Then I tried to order a codd salad, they didn 't have any eggs. I mean, the trip here was pointless. The picture is the burger my friend ordered and she didn 't like it. The music was good. Maybe I came at a bad time..

I email, called and spoke with someone about a party for 10/28/23. Not once was it told to me that it's a fee to host a party here utilizing the booth. Upon arriving and being told that it's a minimum of 2 bottles to sit there. The cheapest bottles are courvosier. Now I have 10 plus people on the way, and we are forced to push wobbly tables together. Play attention to the others' reviews. This could have been avoided. This is a great example of how trying to support black establishment goes wrong. The place is the worst... from beginning to end. The vip section is a joke. Dirty as hell. Couches need to be sewn back together and then washed down in bleach. The floors are dirty. It's just horrible. One bathroom stall out of order.. I wonder for how long. The food... not even picture worthy. The seafood menu is not available at this location..wtf. So the items that we thought we were going to order are not options. Pretty much just bar food available. I am disappointed with the place. I have spoken with Mickey since I left to discuss my concerns. I found flyer online that advertised free party, champagne for 10 plus guest. Nope no one knew of this info.
