Amazing food, delicious drinks & beautiful decor!!

I would give it 5 stars for atmosphere if it wasn't for the music being way too loud (live dj ), the point of going out to eat with friends is also to talk without shouting. Besides that, everything was great.

Had an amazing experience at Balam! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, & everything came out fresh & perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was beautiful, warm, & welcoming.

A huge thank you to the waiters Emilia & Abdallah for the outstanding service. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, professional, & made the whole experience even better. They constantly checked in to make sure everything was perfect & made us feel truly welcomed.

Would give a 4.5.

Balam is an interesting one, we went for Mother's Day & were greeted with a complimentary mimosa! We arrived 3 hours early of a reservation due to mischeduling a different event. Despite this service was spot on, friendly, & accomodating for our unique situation. I'm sure it helped that we came before it got busy but it was appreciated.

When it comes to the food, it was generally good. The guac & chips were delicious, the quinoa salad was one of the best I've had. The tacos (shrimp/octopus & duck) while good, were perhaps underwhelming relative to their ingredients or just not to my taste. The churro dessert was sublime however.

A real winner here is the cocktail menu. I had the pleasure of trying two drinks that came in smoked containers that were both wonderful. I also had a dessert drink called a'Gold of the Gods' that was arguably the best equivalent to an espresso martini I have ever had.

Atmosphere in the restaurant is however average, at least during early afternoon. The walls are somewhat drab, or deliberately done as an aesthetic. All the plants are plastic. I could see it looking better in the darker hours of the day. The center bar is very nice, but some of the seating is a bit cramped. I had to move my chair so servers could pass behind me multiple times.

Altogether, I could see myself returning & trying some of their other fare or to at least reorder one of the drinks. We had a good time & a good Mother's Day, & we appreciate the staff at Balam for making it a good one!

The food was good, some dishes more than others, but nothing outstanding. I was actually expecting a little more in terms of originality in their Mexican dishes. The wine list is quite short. The service was good, but uneven. The atmosphere is pretty but not great for intimate conversations.

Though the food tasted good, the portion is pathetic for the one I had ordered.
Ambience wise good but expect to get back hungry after paying huge price.

The Rib Eye tacos were a carnivore's taco dream come true. & I also had a life changing experience. Ask Freeman to hook you up with an espresso Martini. Just WOW!

I enjoyed the restaurant very much, it has a good ambiance. The waitress was very friendly. The food was good, I really enjoyed the lamb. I recommend this place. I will go back, especially in the summer to sit on the terrace.
