I tried to make reservations thru Open Table, and no tables were available. I called Balcon and got what I needed. Half the restaurant was empty. Open Table is a waste of time.

Fun atmosphere and great food. Many Industry specialties include their delicious brisket. Don’t miss the brisket breakfast sando and the brunch bowl with brisket! Great selection of delicious libations like the super tasty waffle shot, which combines Jameson Irish whiskey, orange juice, bacon, and butterscotch for a “wake me up” that you won’t forget.
