Tapas 177

The food and service are excellent. The menu has some traditional items, but it's mostly non-traditional. I loved the grilled quail over mesculin greens with cherry vin. I love the tuna tartare Napolean, stacked with crispy wontons. The vibe is awesome, and they even do salsa dancing on certain nights.

Recommended by a local friend and it's an eclectic joint with decent food. The ladies got cocktails and we split the fried brussel sprouts plus chips/salsa/guac apps. For entrees I got the ribeye, my wife got the tofu poke bowl and our friend got the Jamaican jerk chicken curry. I'm partial to red meat, so my ribeye was clearly the best... but the other two dishes looked good too. Service was good but I think I would have enjoyed it more on another night. They were having salsa dancing lessons in the downstairs bar and it was pretty loud. We knew that before going to their downstairs, but the brick walls really echoed the salsa music. It was a fun joint and I'd definitely go back and try other menu items.

Dropped into Tapas 177 out of desperation because they were the only nearby restaurant open late on a Monday night. My husband was dreading going out at 9:30pm before a very early flight the next day. What a surprise! It was like having a first date and falling in love after only a few minutes. The hostess gave us a warm welcome and allowed us to look around and choose a quiet table. Every plate was genuinely terrific and we debated which one was the best. Our waitress, Rochelle, was efficient and personable. My designer martini was beguiling and the beer/wine selection satisfying. We will be back the next time we’re in town. Highly recommend!!!
