Review Summary

Name's On The Way generally receives praise for its vibrant atmosphere, energetic music, and excellent service, making it a popular spot for social outings and celebrations. Many visitors highlight the quality of the martinis and the cozy decor, noting that the staff is often accommodating and friendly. However, experiences remain mixed regarding the food, with some guests finding the dishes delicious and well-prepared while others criticize the high prices, small portions, and inconsistent quality. While the venue is frequently described as a fun and lively destination, some patrons have expressed frustration over strict reservation policies, entry management issues, and concerns regarding drink preparation, suggesting that while the establishment has significant potential, consistency across the dining and nightlife experience remains a point of contention.

To begin, I arrived at the bar with a group of friends, both Latino & non-Latino. A woman behind the bar started harassing us simply because we were nearby ordering drinks. She heard us speaking Spanish & began insulting me, pushing me several times for no reason. After putting up with it for a while, I finally asked her what was wrong, & she responded with racist comments about me being Latina & other senseless, disrespectful things.

What made the situation even worse was that she called security for no reason, & security kicked me out without even asking what had happened, while allowing her to stay. I was treated unfairly & humiliated even though I was the one being harassed.

It was my first time there, & unfortunately, it seemed like a place where racism is tolerated to the extreme. A very disappointing experience. I will never forget how I was treated.

This place has potential, however went for my adult daughter's birthday (we were a group) & was disappointed. The menu doesn't have that much options. I had the cheese raviolis, but the pasta wasn't great, I recommend they change supplier or kind. The drinks were ok, the service was decent. Overall has potential, so may give it another chance.

Good ambience. Food is overpriced & not worth it. Staff isn't great. I'd go here for a drink & avoid the food.

What more can be said! Incredible staff, super friendly & attentive. Food was delicious, the drinks were on point. I suggest making a reservation as it's very busy. If the owner with the huge head Peter is there, chat with him, he's hilarious & so kind!

Went to Names on Thursday! The music is super hype & caters to all, amazing vibes. Long wait to get in & the place is super packed. Drinks not crazy expensive. Overall fun experience.

Le restaurant est très beau à l'intérieur avec une très belle ambiance, je recommandes fortement. La nourriture est excellente mais les portions sont un peu petites on avait tous encore faim par la suite (même si on avait eu entrée & repas). Les drinks sont également très bons.

Many things to say about this place. The food is good, very overpriced for what it is but good nevertheless. The drinks are a scam, they advertise fancy brands in the menu but they pour the cheap liquor & they did that right in front of us as we were sitting at the bar. They did that for every single drink. That in my opinion should be considered a scam. The vibe at night is really nice, gets quite packed too. But I'd recommend to go for the evening since it's really fun. Leaving low rating for the overpriced food, tiny portions & the scam on the drinks
