Question: Great little place for Mexican food. Always clean, the food is good to great depending on your choice. Prices are reasonable and if you want more salsa just ask with no upcharge. Great service and I have never experienced a long wait either. Really glad they are in the neighborhood!

Answer: 4 stars

Question: On our second trip to Smalls, we were hoping for a different experience, it didn't happen. Both times we've been, the restaurant has been out of several of the more appealing items. The first time it was super crowded, so seemed possible, the second time not at all, and was just annoying. The food sounds interesting, and does make efforts to be unique, but falls short of the very high prices they charge for such small portions. If I had to describe it, I would call it overcharged glorified pub food. The beer list is interesting, I'll give it that. But just because you dim the lights and turn on dance music doesn't mean you're the hotest stuff around. If I was in the mood for a drink and some ambiance, it would be a good place to start for a drink. If I wanted more expensive food with great flavors I would try out Custom Shop and Carpe Diem nearby.

Answer: 2 stars

Question: Pretty solid venue. Not too big of a venue, and it can get packed at times when they sell out. Be warned that it can get quite hot inside when there are lot of people, but what can you expect, that happens at any other venues I've been at.

The sound does leave a little to be desired and I can see it being an issue with live acts that have vocals, but I've only been here for the dance acts and it's been a non-issue.

One thing that I appreciate is that they have coolers of water and cups for free. A nice change of pace from venues in Chicago that charge five dollars for a bottle of water.

4 stars
