Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Roma Norte delights with its "extremely complex and well-crafted" cocktails and delectable bites like the shrimp cocktail and tuna tostada. The "sultry ambiance" and cozy banquette seating make it perfect for date nights. While service can be inconsistent, the staff is often praised for their "welcoming" and "knowledgeable" approach.

    We really enjoyed our time at Roma Norte. The drinks are extremely complex and well-crafted, not to mention delicious. The food was also spectacular, though some reviews make it clear folks don't realize it's just light bites, nibbles... but really amazing nibbles. They are pricey and the sizes are quite small, but it's definitely delicious. The shrimp cocktail and the tuna tostada were highlights. Their signature cocktails are on the pretty high end, but knowing what goes into them, it doesn't surprise me and it was 100% worth it. Their other "classic cocktails" (espresso martini, old fashioned, etc.) are comparable with other upscale bars in the area. I'd definitely go back and recommend it especially for a date night. The atmosphere is cozy and we loved the banquette seating along the walls. 10/10!

    Truly good drinks, but oddly inattentive service and a huge open door that made for a cold evening inside.

    Came here for drinks and the sultry ambiance and it was just that. For a busy Saturday night service was fairly fast, we did not have a bite but I presume if we did it would of been just as delicious as the drinks we had. Unfortunately I can’t remember the same but the cocktail with the cantaloupe (sigh) gorgeous presentation and refreshing, if your into melon.

    Roma NorteResponded on 25 October 2024
    Hi Efren, thank you for stopping by Roma Norte. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the drinks and the ambience. If your server seemed to be in a rush it was likely only because our servers are so excited to greet everyone. However, we do not want the experience to feel rushed and hope that didn't ruin your experience. Next time we see you we'll make sure to savor every minute!

    Our drinks were never brought in. 55 min passed and the only response we received was “ computer issues”. Which it did not made sense because other tables around me received or order drinks.
