"Tala House took over Bongo Room’s Andersonville location in May and has been fielding requests to fill the void in the brunch scene ever since. Their new menu features spiced-up classics, with dishes including challah french toast topped with caramelized pineapple and banana sauce, and scrambled eggs with shishito peppers served with pico de gallo and salsa verde. The drink selection offers plenty of mocktails along with mimosas made with strawberry and blackberry lemonade. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson

Flavorful dishes served fresh and nicely plated. Some vegetarian options and a nice selection of fish. Great cocktails as well. They could use some more art on the walls or other decor but I'm sure they're working on it. Service was professional and friendly. We will definitely return.

I enjoyed eating at Tala House, and I am looking forward to visiting again! I loved the food and the drinks. Edgar and Carlos were great waiters. It’s truly an amazing spot you have to visit.

Went here at lunch time and told that they only have brunch menu, which are quite different from the pictures in Google maps reviews. However, it turned out a fantastic dining experience! All the staff are pretty friendly and welcoming. They accidentally mixed up the orders and to apologize they offered two free desserts and drinks and the desserts are amazing! It’s the type of special desserts where you can’t really see often in other restaurants. Our favorite is the Halloumi cheese with honey, served with pinta. Definitely recommend. The only downside is that the entrée menu is kinda limited. Overall very good and will come back to try out dinner as they have a nice ambience and spacious tables and I personally really liked their music playlist.

I recently dined at Tala House, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm and friendly service that set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance at Tala is perfect, with a cozy yet modern decor that makes you feel right at home. And their outdoor space is amazing. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offers a great variety of options, and it's clear that the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. I highly recommend the roasted cauliflower, salmon and ahi tuna. Delicious! Overall, Tala House has everything you could want in a dining experience – fantastic food, excellent service, and a lovely ambiance. And it’s BYBO now. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommend!

Great dinning experience. Every single item on the menu was interesting. We shared the scallops which were cooked perfectly with a bit of char. I had the Sea Bass, my partner had the Seafood linguini. Both meals were delectable! It’s currently byob so that’s a plus! The interior design is beautiful and they have a great outdoor patio. Definitely a neighborhood gem!

What an amazing place with fresh healthy beautiful food! Every plate at our table was a visual and flavorful delight. The sesami crusted seared ahi tuna was delicious and delightful. The owner, chefs, servers, bartender, hostess were all engaging - literally connected with them all! Highly recommend.

Great dinning , Every single item on the menu was interesting but we could only order a few so we ordered & the scallops which were cooked perfectly with a bit of char & the lemon caper sauce was on point ! We both had the Sea Bass, & this was delectable! There is no liq license so it's BYOB that’s a plus! The interior design is beautiful and they have a great outdoor patio which is where we sat and it was a very cozy feel to it with dim lighting. We shared the mango passion fruit chocolate mousse dessert with a cappucino that was a prefect ending /pairing to an incredible dining experience. Food, ambience & service were 10 / 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I Want to go back to try the salmon which looked amazing , and the steak too Definately a must try in Andersonville!

Just happen to park and walk in but we were lucky to be seated. Nice place with minimalistic modern interior and charming patio seating. Food smells great, with an open kitchen design, looked and taste delicious.

Popped in here for brunch yesterday (memories of Bongo Room). But this new restaurant in the space is fantastic! Apparently this is only their second week doing brunch - get in here now, 'cos I suspect they will get crowded FAST. I had the dill omelette, and my BF had the chilaqueles. Both were superb, excellent use of spices and interesting flavors. The dill omelette (I LOVE dill) was a stand out. Eggs with a lot of dill, accompanied by a mild salsa verde, pico de gallo and guacamole. A nice amount of food - these are not ginormous American portions that leave you stuffed and not feeling well. This is delicious, energizing, healthy food! Just perfect. The excellent Bloody Marys, carefully prepared by charming bartender Tavos, were a real stand out - we had to have two! The garnish was unusual and delicious - olive, red radish and (my favorite) yellow radish. Lots of thoughtful little details will make this restaurant a favorite in Andersonville. Personally, I love the Middle Eastern connection. Lots if interesting spice combinations, though, from all over the world. Want to come back for dinner, for some of that Chilean Sea Bass, my favorite! Welcome to Andersonville, Tala House, we are going to love you!!!

wanted to love it... ...but need to go back. went for restaurant week and ordered the haloumi (fabulous) then the dill serrano omellette which was... raw :( the first few bites were great and then i hit raw slimey eggs and crunchy peppers, oy! i didn't want to ruin the pace of our meal (they were operating very slowly to begin with but thankfully there was a lot of catching up to do with my fellow diners) so i moved onto the potatoes...which were also crunchy :( the rice pudding afterwards redeemed the meal somewhat but definitely not enough. very cute place - bigger than it looks upon entering, it's deceiving. but as of now, i need to to knock off some stars.

Overall, Tala House is charging more upscale prices than most places in the neighborhood ($37+ per entree, small portion, no substantial side) and I don't necessarily think that it met the value. Shaved Brusselsprout salad could use some refinement. Apple, avocado, mint, dill, cilantro, spicy mango dressing, and pumpkin seeds. Something felt like it was missing. Maybe it was too much fresh herb? Dill and mango? The flavors didn't complement each other the way I would've liked. "Crusted Risotto Halibut" ... turns out this is a piece of fish with a fried risotto patty on top. The risotto is unflavored, completely plain, and did not add to or brighten the fish (only added a crunch juxtaposition to the flaky fish and mushy veggies it sat atop). Service was very good. Water glasses were constantly full. Decor is modern and clean, but tight and loud.

Another great selection for Restaurant Week 2025. Let me get this off my chest before I dive into the food and service. This space use to be the Bongo Room. I was not a fan of the front room and this has not changed. There is a lovely bar area and in the main window is a table that seats 10 people, then two four top tables in the space. The problem with this set up is the addition of two four top tables in this small space. I will not speak for the folks at the other table, but our table was not ideal. Tala should really consider not having a table next to the bar. The table itself was a nice size to accommodate our dishes, which is important for me. The placement of the table is what knocked this review down to four stars. As you can see from one of the photos, we were in direct line with the front door opening and closing. While there was a small heater next to our table, the door closing and opening created a wind tunnel directed at us. As there is no space for people to wait after checking in at the hostess stand (which is literally a small desk at the door as you walk in), we had people standing near and around our table. At one point I had to gently push a woman away from the wine stand as she was about to tip it over as she was moving back to speak to someone in her party. Thanks goodness the food and the service was on point because the seating arrangement sort of put a damper on our experience, although The Doctor went to the back and stated next time we will request to sit back there. Now on to the food. I started with the mussels in a lovely chipotle cream sauce. That sauce was crazy good and great for dunking the bread into. I have never had steamed mussels in a cream sauce and I would do that again. The sauce had a lovely flavor profile that was weirdly flavorable, but did not overpower the taste of the mussels. My BFF #1 got the Homemade labneh and shishito peppers and left no crumbs behind. That plate was clean. The Doctor got the Roasted cauliflower with fresno peppers and a salsa macha; again no crumbs were left behind. For dinner, I got the Allen Brothers Prime steak with potatoes. If you are not familiar with Allen Brothers meat, you are in for a treat. This was prepared well and at the temperature I requested. The dish itself was simple, but well executed. The potatoes were nicely seasoned and the sauce that came with it was a nice complement. My BFF got the filet mignon with green beans and said that it was cooked to the correct temperature that he ordered. I tried some of the green beans and they were very good, fresh and had a nice crisp to them. The Doctor got the Ahi Tuna. There was a mix up as his plate came out with Tuna but nothing else. It was sent back and the issue was rectified. The Doctor said that the tuna was well prepared and tasty, and that the rice it came with was very good. Dessert was pretty standard as far as that goes. Other than the mix up with the tuna, the service was great. At one point I went to the ladies room and ran into one of the servers, who complimented me on my outfit for the night and proceeded to show me to the ladies room. We chatted for a bit and by the time I got back to the table, we had glasses of tequila, the good kind, sent to us. That was a lovely touch. This could have been a better experience for us, and we were all in agreement, that Tala needs to reconsider having no dining tables beyond the large one in the window, in that main room. People coming in need to be able to stand somewhere to wait to be seated, just not in the face of people dining. I could see having small bistro tables in that room to allow people to sit and have a drink while waiting to be seated. There could be a larger hostess stand where our table was, to allow people to come inside and check in. Just some suggestions to consider

Let me start by saying that this space used to be The Bongo Room and was one of my favs so I wasn't super thrilled to give a new establishment in the same space a real open minded chance. Well, as luck would have it, I was lured there by a friend and I'm so glad I was. The second I had my first sip of the spicy mezcal cucumber concoction Edgar, the bartender made for me, I was hooked! We sat at the bar which was absolutely charming. The staff was extremely warm and hospitable. We ordered the shosito peppers and they were a delightful charred treat and there was a cracker bread served with it that blew me away. Next up was a tuna tostada. Sounds okay, right. It was spectacular. The flavors were just beyond. Last and possibly my favorite was this chimichuri style shrimp served over these buttermilk potatoes that was so soulful and special, I wanted to lick the plate. We had a fig rimmed margarita as well as a traditional margarita and all of them were exceptional. I was really pleasantly surprised and can't wait to go back. Do yourself a favor and stop in so you too can get over your grudge over the bongo room's departure. It's a new day in a new place and I'm here for it!

10/10 experience, food was excellent! Highly recommend the sea bass and homemade labneh! The service staff are also extremely friendly and attentive. Nice wine selection as well. I'll definitely be back!

Such an amazing place and I will definiteky be back! The Mixologist Edgar is amazing with the drinks!!! He made me different mocktails and they were so good I can drink em all night! I ordered the Skirt steak it was seasoned and cooked perfectly as requested. My friend ordered the Seabass and i fell inlove and Im still thinking abt it. I would need to go back to and get it soon! The Tuna Crudo Tostada was a surprise coz i steer clear of raw but i would have this again. .the place has a patio and it seems small when u walk in but its really spacious at the back. Servers were all amazing and took care of us. Must try place!

Clean modern aesthetic. I loved the open kitchen and how everyone is actively involved in service. I went for brunch during restaurant week. It was a great menu a great value. Food was excellent. The hallumi with honey was simple and delicious. Pancakes were so, so good with fresh fruit and cream sauce. I had a veggie omelette that was flavorful and filling. And those potatoes. Yummy. However, there was definitely a blip in service as it took more than 15-20 for us to get appetizer after we placed our order. The waiter never came back to check on us and then we began to see other tables that arrived after us getting their entrees. Once we grabbed someone and made them aware, everything was quickly corrected. It was bustling so not sure anyone wld have noticed if we hadn't said anything. Thank goodness for Carlos! He definitely saved the day.

Tala house is wonderful, came here with a party of 7 for a birthday party. They went above and beyond for my friend bringing out shots in a treasure chest... it was amazing. Food matched and was fantastic. 10/10

Yelp
Wow! They have only been open two months and are already knocking it out of the park. We were so lucky to visit on a perfect summer evening. The patio is intimate and creates a beautiful backdrop to enjoy the food that is to come. I especially loved the garden fixed to the walls behind the tables. It was so hard to order because everything sounded amazing. We ended up going with the elote to start and a margarita. For my main I had the filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. The food came out quickly. Random other positives: - I especially loved that we never felt rushed. -Parking was easy to find. -The prices were very reasonable given the quality It would have been fun to learn a little more about the restaurant/menu when we sat down. I knew very little about the place/chef before coming (just that the food would be great). .

Brunch at Tala A Delightful Experience: My girlfriends and I celebrated our friend's birthday by taking her to brunch on this past Sunday. Tala offers a vibrant and welcoming brunch experience, perfect for celebrating special occasions. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with enthusiasm by Ash, setting the tone for an enjoyable experience. The restaurant's airy and bright aesthetic created a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. Our server was exceptional, engaging and helpful, providing great recommendations for both drinks and food. We tried the smoked salmon omelette, pancakes, french toast, and veggie tacos, each dish was delicious! We had a great experience and will definitely be back for dinner~

Beautiful patio ( be warned patio seating on a first come first serve basis only so you can't make a reservation out there ). Service was good, food was very good. Restaurant was LOUD. Not sure exactly what the acoustic issue was , but it was hard to hear my dining partners in the dining room. Our group of 6 started with the Halloumi ( delicious), beet salad ( also delicious) and cauliflower ( yep, also delicious again ) Was very happy with my Cesar salad made light with Greek yogurt dressing and grilled chicken .Husband really enjoyed the sea bass but portion was quite small . Loved the BYOB ( this policy could change soon as restaurant is quite new). Prices were reasonable and fair. Would go back if I could snag a patio spot ....

We had a wonderful meal at Tala House. The service was impressive and the quality of ingredients in the food was top notch. We had great mocktails and the dessert selection was presented tableside. So hard to choose!! A fantastic neighborhood addition.

The most fabulous addition to Andersonville! I brought a party of 8 girls for my birthday dinner, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was great, food to die for, and service unmatched. They truly made me feel so special and loved. I can't wait to continue to support this business! Couldn't recommend them enough.

Originally I had reserved a table on a tuesday and about 4 days before our reservation for which we were celebrating a birthday, got a call informing us they decided they were no longer open on tuesdays (the day our reservation was for). They moved my reservation and offered a round of free drinks and desert for the inconvenience. On the new date, we ordered a round of drinks, an appetizer and our food. We ordered the buratta and beets which was $16 - it was just that, chesse and beets. Not bad but also, perhaps not worth $16. My partner ordered the sea bass and risotto and I had the skirt stake and fingerling potatoes. Both were tasty and both were a bit small in portion (for the price). We asked for the check and expected our drinks to be taken off the check, but after we requested the check, they brought us a desert (not of our choosing or request) and two "drinks" which were also not of our choosing or request. I say "drinks" bc they came in small flutes which were about two sips a piece. Both were fine but not requested or wanted lol. We would've been happier with just the drinks taken off our ticket. The staff was friendly but for the price and the expectation of larger portions and compensation, overall it was "ok". Ambiance...it was a dimly lit room dinning room which again, was fine. Lastly, it's described as New American which might contribute to the burger and fries offered, but has influenced from the middle east, south america and latin america - which was fine! But also not what i think of when I just see "American" food.

A small little restaurant that felt like you were in someone's home. The food was delicious and fun to try all different cuisines. Lots of unique options to try. Great for brunch!

All I can say is WOW! Do not sleep on this wonderful addition to A-ville! I was excited to taste every single dish - and each one exceeded my expectations. Everything was fresh, presented well and with well balanced flavors. Not Pictured: - Figs on whipped honey ricotta - This is the most delicious appetizer I've ever had. The figs were fresh which are hard to find. The honey ricotta was just sweet enough. This is a must try! - Halloumi cheese - the fresh blueberry jam balanced out the salty cheese. Pictured: - Seabass - cooked perfectly and very fresh fish. The portobello risotto complemented the fish well. - Salmon - the fish with the fruit and avocado mash was a match made in heaven. Just the right amount of spice! Tala dessert - super rich chocolate mousse which is my taste! If their mocktail menu is an indication of what their cocktails will be like - I can't wait to try them! On top of the outstanding food, the patio is lovely and the service is top notch! Felt like a fine dining experience without the pretentiousness. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive. Well done, Tala House! And welcome to the neighborhood.

Tala House was a last minute, fantastic Yelp find. It looked brand new and was designed beautifully. Inside decor was clean, modern and very chic and they have an outdoor area that was beautiful as well. My husband is a general contractor and commercial real estate developer and he was very impressed. Service was great and everyone greets you with a smile so it felt very warm and inviting. The owner Ash came over to talk to us and check in on how everything went, which I always appreciate, but he did it in a very genuine way. As we spoke, we discovered his sister has the same name as me and he has the same name as my brother which just added to the family vibe :) Finally the food was amazing and we enjoyed everything: 1) tuna crudo tostado: 5/5 - Amazing flavors with a bit of a kick (and I love serrano so if you are super sensitive to heat, u might wanna skip it) 2) watermelon salad: 4/5 - It had feta, pistachios and balsamic which was refreshing but the flavor wasn't as exciting as the tuna crudo but still a great summer option 3) roasted cauliflower: 4/5 - anything with chili crisp gets me but most surprisingly my husband who isn't really a cauliflower fan liked it so we'd probably order it again 4) sea bass: 5/5 - cooked to perfection. delicious, light but packed with tons of flavor. 5) skirt steak: 5/5 - 6oz which is on the small side but perfect for me and the chimichurri sauce was delicious and not too oily. our waiter surprised me with some grilled serrano which gave it an extra kick that I loved Everything all in with tax and tip was under $150 which is pretty good considering we had a salad, app, side and got sea bass and steak. We will 100% be back!

Met some friends for a first time visit to Tala House on 11/15. I was pleasantly surprised that it was larger than it appears outside. It is quite lovely and tastefully decorated. The service was good and the food and cocktails were delicious. I liked that the music is not loud and the place was super chill. We had a great dinner and dessert. I will definitely return.

Hate to write a bad review for a local restaurant but I've tried this place twice and I have to say something. I've had the same server twice and either he just doesn't like me or i keep catching him on bad days but he literally never checks in. I see him asking other people and servers to check on me or bring me something I asked him for. So that's not fun. Also the brunch is just weird, no breakfast meat of any kind, when I asked I was told that they don't do pork. Mmmmm kkk there are plenty of non pork options. Also my $20 cold omelette came with a dry piece of toast- when I asked for butter and jam I got looked at like I had two heads. Maybe it's because I'm a women who came in with her sleeping baby that I just don't get the same level as service as others who have written rave reviews. Sucks cause I live close to this place and I wish I felt more welcome.

Found this new spot on a whim and couldn't be happier that I did. Usually when you go to a nice meal there are a bunch of hits and one thing slacks - that wasn't the case here. Each dish was better than the last. If I had to pick highlights, the tuna crudo tostada and the delicata squash. Our server was kind, funny, and energetic, and everyone else was very attentive to our table. Another highlight? We never felt rushed. Each course came out by itself, allowing us the time to actually enjoy each bite, rather than feeling all over the place. We also had the chance to chat with the owner toward the end of our meal, and he was beyond kind. It's still a new restaurant and he's clearly working hard to become an Andersonville staple. I moved to Chicago about 5 months ago and this is easily one of the best restaurants I've been to since my move!

Absolutely loved our dinner here celebrating a birthday! We are seafood lovers and every bite was delicious! Standouts were the halibut, tuna and salmon! Lovely dessert platter with too many good choices. Can't wait to go back!

This place seems quite new - we walked in without a reservation and got a great table, and every dish that we ordered was great. The heirloom tomatoes are especially good, and so is the burrata with beets. Our waiter seemed a bit disappointed that we didn't order a main I definitely think I'll be back! Great spot to take parents or friends.

Melissa S.

Yelp
Overall, this place is great. Gorgeous interior and also fantastic patio. Service was good overall. Our party of four had the tuna crudo tostada, roasted cauliflower, and halloumi cheese appetizers. I enjoyed them most in the reverse order I listed them. (In fairness, I am not a tuna lover, and all thee of my tablemates are and raved about the tostada.) Everyone loved their entrees: I had the prime allen brothers filet mignon, which was great. I am not a huge mushroom lover but for those who are huge mushroom lovers, you will lose your minds over the giant slice of mushroom served with your steak. For dessert, we had not one, not two, not three, but four desserts, which was both insane and delightful. The Josephine was by far the favorite, and in my opinion followed by the Sara, the Emilia, and the Lyla. I thought the bill was reasonable, if not just a tiny bit overpriced for BYOB. I do look forward to coming back here.

We picked Tala House for their interesting Restaurant week menus and had a wonderful experience. The appetizers were outstanding , the main courses delicious and the service good. The place was packed and filled with a lively energy. Yes it was a little loud but we really enjoyed our experience. The managers/owners ? were so friendly and shook all of our hands on the way out. We can't wait to go back it was that good and we do not live in the neighborhood. I expect great things for this newcomer to the Chicago dining scene.

Amazing,again! We came back and brought a friend as it's the perfect place to share and be together. The food was so delicious. This time, I had the ahi tuna entree which was the best I've ever tasted. Our friend and my husband had the sea bass which they loved. We tried the elote which was fabulous, and also ordered the haloumi with blueberries and roasted cauliflower as we knew they were great. The management and staff couldn't be more gracious and welcoming. The patio was beautiful with flowers, a Japanese maple tree and greenery. Great ambience. Can't wait to return and share with more friends and family.

I can't say enough good things about this place-easily my favorite restaurant in Chicago! It serves an awesome fusion of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, and honestly, every dish is a masterpiece. The flavors are so unique and perfectly balanced; you can tell a lot of thought went into each dish. The owner was so attentive and genuinely cared that everyone was having a great experience. The staff were just as wonderful-friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. Amazing ambiance as well. I could see this spot getting a Michelin star one day. It's that good. We will definitely be back.

Yelp
This place is absolutely wonderful. I was sad to see Bongo Room go, but if it hadn't, I never would have experienced this gem. The owner is gracious and grateful for your presence. The space is warm, vibrant and inviting. The patio in back is precious. Then there's the food. Above all else, the tuna tostada starter is a must. I shared it with my boyfriend and we decided next time we'll get two because we both want a whole one. I got the flank steak which was cooked to perfection. He got the sea bass with risotto. I had a bite and it's definitely what I'll order the next time. They start serving brunch literally today. Yes yes yes. Please stay right where you are Tala House. We'll be back many times.

Really enjoyed my dinner here. The back patio is very quaint and shady, seems like this space and the back room are the more popular seating zones. Got the verano Peligroso mocktail which was fabulous and refreshing. We shared guacamole appetizer and all agreed the chips had an excellent salt ratio on them. Guacamole was also so easy to eat and tasty. I got the salmon which was cooked perfectly, had nice crispy edges and a tasty glaze. Next time I'd order a side of fries or cauliflower with it - needs a carb. My friends for ahi tuna and each loved it. We didn't get dessert but they came around with a nice tray showing them and they each looked scrumptious. I'd like to also try a salad and the steak as I saw both come out to other tables and looked like nice portion sizes! Nice staff, no complaints.

Tala House is a gem, great food that is expertly prepared and creative using the freshest local ingredients. The staff/management are warm and accommodating, going out of their way to make everyone comfortable. The Tala House team loves dogs. I understand that bringing a dog to a fine dining restaurant is a rare privilege and can not always be managed but when I have called ahead to request permission, I have usually been accommodated. They even brought my dog a water bowl without being asked. I look forward to many more great meals at Tala House.

This place is amazing! We had a large group and could try nearly every dish on the menu and each one was better than the next! Just go! So yum!!

Oh my foodie! This is a must eat here restaurant for any foodie. Every dish is on point and the experience from walking in the door to walking out makes you feel welcome and like part of the family. I got there early, waiting for friends and chatted with the hostess who was an absolute doll! Once seated we had several wait staff check in on us and the owner stopped by as well. The tuna tostada with avocado crema was to die for. The Beets and Burrata were delish. The Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and the Risotto melted in my mouth. The desserts - well I won't spoil the surprise but I tried two and they were the best desserts I've ever had! I'll just say one was raspberry and one dark chocolate and I could not pick a favorite. I can't wait to go back! I wish I were local.

Romi C.

Yelp
I truly enjoyed dinner here. The decor is minimalistic which contrasts the almost effervescent menu. At first glance at food on other tables you'll see fresh vibrant colors stacked on one another and the star ingredient front and center. You'll see big beautiful tomatoes paired with browned halloumi cheese (pair them with the scallops omg). You'll find liberal use of microgreens and herbaceous sauces. Please do not expect a runny buttery eyesore, you'll love it here if you enjoy sinking your fork into a fish filet. The salmon here is perfect and comes on top of a charred mango and papaya that boldly reminded me of Persian fruit leathers in the best way possible. The skirt steak was great quality, a modest 6 oz but zero gristle or blobs of rancid fat. Order family style and get a taste of everything you can. If you must bring a kid they'll be happy with their burger which I love wasn't swimming in extra grease. Save room for dessert if you enjoy semi sweet chocolate contrasted by fruit. Even the mocktails taste on par with the boozy drankssss. I hope this place stays unpretentious and remains seafood forward. Service was friendly enough without being pushy. Loved it.

Truly a spectacular dining experience. I had the halibut and my wife had the sea bass. They were cooked to perfection. The cocktails are also amazing. Finally, the service was absolutely awesome!

This stupid ass restraint turned me and my service animal away. Wouldn't even allow us on the damn patio!!!! MY SERVICE DOG! Considering all that l've been through and needing my dog that's a small little accommodating. I should sue you for turning service animals and a person who needs one away.

Have dined twice. One at the bar and one in the dining room. Very good staff. Two owners visited at the bar and also at our table on the other visit. Sea bass dish is magnificent. Salmon was a delight, flavorful and nice spice. Will return often.

The food is excellent. We had sea bass, tuna crudo, & a burger. All delicious. We also had elotes & cauliflower. They both had some kick. The drinks were excellent & nice wine selection. The dining room & patio are beautiful. Would recommend

My friend and I went to Tala House last night for a catch up. From the welcome thru the main course the service and attention was close to perfect. The things that stood out: 1) Personal Attention - I had heard the owner was welcoming and personally engaged. Very true and the team charged with ensuring a good experience were awesome. 2) The Food - original plates, clear menu details, taste was perfect. From the figs (a special) to the SeaBass (yes, Chilean ) and the hamburger all were well presented and tasted better. 3) craft cocktails - perfect, creative and innovative. (If you like mescal and smokiness, summer in Tala is your deal). Go! You won't be disappointed.

Such a terrific addition to the neighborhood! We really enjoyed our first dinner here. The patio is lovely, and service was attentive and warm. The sea bass, scallops, and tomato/halloumi salad were standouts. Looking forward to our next visit and exploring more of the menu.
