"Just finished a show at the underground and having read a nice story online about the Israeli chef decided to book in here for our meal afterwards. The combination of Israeli food with some North American influences was great. The medley platter of dips, olives, peppers etc with pita was excellent. The quality of the very basic Israeli salad of tomato and cucumber far outweighs its simple description as it is always a great accompaniment to the flavours and spices of the Middle East. We also had the crab cakes which were very good as well. As a fan of all things stand-up, it was awesome to see many comedians in there (in between sets grabbing some sustenance), listening in on the “workings of the comedy culture” as they bounced ideas off of one another or were just catching up with old comedy friends as they all cross cross the country doing comedy shows. For an awesome meal combined with a hip vibe (I was old In there at 53) and some awesome “people watching” this place can’t be beat. I do have one negative though but it’s combined with an extremely interesting positive……the bathrooms were atrocious. Now, you may be wondering how something so bad could have a good side…..well, to get to the bathroom, one has to walk through the original comedy cellar in the basement……yep, right in front of the stage…..so, you get the nostalgia of being in such an iconic spot and hopefully you don’t get picked on by whomever is on stage! Lol"

"We stopped at the Tumbleweed on our drive home, and we walked into the definition of Tex-Mex! From the antler chandeliers to the potted cacti to the country music blaring from the speakers, everything about the restaurant screamed south of the border . Of course, every good Mexican restaurant needs margaritas! Tumbleweed checked that box, as well as offering a full bar with draft beers, hard seltzers, and even full bottles of wine! The hostesses were very friendly and gave us the choice of a table or a booth. Our waitress was outstanding! She remembered all of our orders without having to write them down, and she kept our drinks full. However, there were a couple of problems at the restaurant, which is my reason for deducting 2 stars. 1) The bathrooms were dirty (boxes of paper towels strewn about the counter, grimy floors) 2) The menus were covered in grease, they were sticky, and mine had a spot of dried salsa on one of the pages. Despite these issues, everyone enjoyed their meals. The best part was definitely the chips! They were thin, salty, and packed a nice crunch. The queso was also delicious; we finished a large order in less than 10 minutes! We ordered the hot salsa, and I hardly tasted any spice. I imagine that the mild must taste as bland as ketchup. Our entrees were good--nothing special, but they certainly filled our bellies after a long day of traveling."
