Not the place to go.

Went here on a Friday around 7. Charged us $15 per person just to enter the place, which isn't even nice. The venue itself resembles more of a dive bar than a restaurant. The ventilation in the place is also pretty bad, and the drink prices were overpriced. The only reason I'm not giving this place a 1 rating is because my friend's dad played in the band the night I went. You can definately find a better salsa joint if you're into that stuff.

I've been to S.O.B.'s a few times (for Salsa and Bhangra) and on both occasions (obviously very different nights) I had a great time. And I don't know what the last post was about but they're food is killer! Try the snapper in the banana leaf- it is seriously to die for!

We went to S.O.B.'s for a birthday dinner where a large group attempted to enjoy a meal before making our way to the dance floor. The mojitos were welcome and a highlight, as the music drowned out any chance for substantive conversation. The music itself is great -- high energy, engaging, and appealing to everyone from regulars to a fair amount of bridge-and-tunnel to some guy with a cowboy hat. Most entrees seemed decent, but my feijoada (traditional stew) was truly inedible with "meat" that was little more than bone and fat. S.O.B.'s would probably have rated an "8' had we been there solely to dance.
