People go for the room and the drinks more than for one dish. The is good, the apps are solid, and it feels celebratory. The arroz con pollo used to be the reason to come, but regulars say the chicken is dry now.

replying to u/bruiserbrody45: Since you said no steak or sushi, I'm going to go out in left field and say the arroz con pollo at ABC Cocina. Never fails, place feels celebratory, they make a good margarita and have solid apps to round out your dinner.
