We have been here in several occasions and every time is great. Today our server was Julian and he rocked!! We had lamb sliders and cheeseburgers sliders… both juicy and delicious. Avocado fries were tasty and so good. The seared tuna was really good!! The salmon special was a real delight. Brought by chef Jacob. Who came to our table and was great to talk to. Really impressed!! Last but not least…. The caramel coconut flan and the chocolate mousse were a great closing. Ahh hh and for those of us who like a “carajillo”!!! They do a really good carajillo (licor 43 and espresso) Thanks Jacob and Julian for making a night out s really special occasion.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible dining experience! The tuna tartar, edamame, and pad Thai were absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked and wonderfully balanced in flavor. Each dish was fresh and full of taste. Our waiter, Keiv Q was fantastic—personable, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The service and the food together made for an outstanding evening. I will definitely be coming back!
Stopped by around 3:15 on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of seating. Love this area. Beautiful to just walk around before and after the meal. Great atmosphere and service. The young lady that served us was very kind made great suggestions and was more than willing to help. Service was quick and available without being over so. The food... delicious. Loved the grilled octopus. It was so tender and the potatoes in the dish are so good. I would have loved to see a little more octopus. The fish and chips were ok. I really wish the breading on this had more flavor but it was the traditional fish and chips. With so many good options skip this one! The crostini is one of my nieces favorites and was very good. We also enjoyed the brussel sprouts that were suggested. The Passion Fruit mocktail was beautifully citrussy and refreshing. The prices are not for everyday meals but definitely great for a date night or girls night out! Just go and Enjoy. You are welcome!
Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen has one of those warm, booming atmospheres that hits you the second you walk through the door—the kind where the chatter of guests blends perfectly with the upbeat mix from the DJ stationed near the front of the bar. It felt lively but not overwhelming, energetic without being chaotic. Once our whole party arrived, we were seated almost immediately, during brunch hours. Our waiter was attentive, patient, and genuinely kind—the kind of server who makes you feel like you’re in good hands the entire meal. I honestly wish I could remember his name, because he deserves the credit. I ordered the Buttermilk Waffles, sided with dulce de leche, caramelized apples, and other little add-on’s of sweetness . The waffles were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and the flavors somehow managed to be indulgent without feeling heavy. Pairing it all with a Sparkling Rosé Sangria was a flawless choice—the drink was bright, refreshing, perfectly chilled, and it elevated my brunch in the best way. My friends and I ended up having an amazing time—thanks to the restaurant’s jovial, relaxed, and inviting energy. It’s the kind of place where you can actually unwind, laugh, and savor the experience without feeling rushed. With great food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that just gets it right, I fully plan to visit again… and again.
Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't Skip On: Guava Goat Cheese Flat bread and Crispy Pork Belly Pad Thai Long time admirer and this was my first time eating here - no regrets at all. We made a reservation and once we all arrived, the hosts sat us immediately. We ordered several items for the table and everything was delicious. All the drinks food came out relatively quickly and the staff were all on point. The restaurant was well kept and it was a wonderful experience! Can't wait to go back and try the other items!
Absolutely loved the food, ambiance and service. Their craft cocktails are fun and strong. I had the braised chicken tostones and goat + beet salad. Hubs had the blueberry pancakes and an order of sausage. Our server was Angel, and he was very helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back to try their dinner.
Made an online reservation for one — the system showed no availability, but for two it did. When I arrived, there were free tables outside and only about 20% of the inside was occupied. Initially, I was seated in a separate back room alone, but after I asked, they kindly moved me outside — appreciate that they listened to my request. Food was good — ordered the shrimp orzo and an espresso martini. Wanted to try the pasta, but it’s served for two people — guess I’ll have to come back
The food was delish! The reviews didn't lie. We had the corn fritters, artichoke & lobster dip, and the avocado fries which were way better than I could imagine. The cheeseburger and lamb sliders were perfectly cooked! Our server was very attentive. Everyone was helpful and professional. Chroma would definitely be in the rotation if I was a local.
