The restaurant has the fun “Build your own Mimosa”, always good to have a bottle with orange or grape fruit juice. Ribs are delicious with great texture of sweet and sour flavor. It’s well cooked and soft, and juice too. $14 for 6 pieces and $20 for a dozen. Very good for sharing. Salmon Benedict is quite big plate also good for sharing. Outside patio has lots of seats and space. Summer hanging out with music and fresh air would be a good option

I liked the aura overall of the restaurant. We went for company's happy hour. Good vegetarian options - pizza, asparagus, cheese bread, few appetizers.

Lame bar that is impossible to get a drink at due to not having enough bar tenders. Recommend to avoid and go somewhere else where you can get service. The food is over priced here as well. Save your money.

Quality Meals and the scene at this spot is great. Everyone at our table was enjoying everything. The service was very welcoming and sociable.

Quality Meals and the atmosphere at this location is super good. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. Certainly worth going back to. It has a cool feel to it. I can see why they have so many good reviews.

Awesome patio and great cocktail list! Our service was friendly and there were plenty of options for shareable snacks. I'd definitely visit again.

Calamari was tough. The pizza was greasy. They were out of multiple menu and drink items. The bartender recommended a weak blond beer as a substitute for a hearty stout they were out of and said they were similar. The waitress, while sweet, seemed powerless and uninformed. We won't be going back. Too bad because the venue seems nice.

We arrived at 1 and asked for a table for 2. They said the wait was 30 min despite the restaurant being mostly empty. 30 min later the hostess came up to us and told us they would be unable to seat us. That's ridiculous. If they couldn't seat us, then just tell us up front. Don't have us wait, staring at the empty dining room for half an hour and then tell us you can't serve us.

On the upside the bartender was nice and we got some good build your own mimosas

Ambiance is great, happy hour on the patio was relaxing.

Hostesses were rude and unhelpful during multiple interactions, which made the overall experience unpleasant. Our group, all working professionals, felt the staff were generally abrasive, and will likely avoid this establishment in the future. Unfortunate, as the establishment has potential.

Came here for a birthday celebration. We had lots of appetizers and plates to share. Tried a little bit of everything, hubby loved the ribs, I loved the crudo. Waiter was attentive and kept our drinks coming.

We had the shrimp croquettes appetizer, the avocado toast and the white pizza and enjoyed it. We were on the patio, which was nice, but the chairs were just wood and could have used some cushions. We'll probably be back!

Fun atmosphere. We sat outside in the afternoon and it was nice, quieter and removed from San Pedro Square so it was good for our group and easier to make conversation.

We went back later for an afterparty at a wedding that had snacks provided, delicious pizza and truffle popcorn. We were outside again which was also nice at night, they have really nice covered patio area.

SP2 is great for groups; you can get a small or large table inside or outside. It's pretty busy Thursday through Saturday, and easy to get a table on a Monday or Tuesday (the bar and lounge are much busier than the dining room). The Malbec I had was not great the last time I went. It seemed like the bottle had been open too long. The burger and fries were delicious and the service was pretty good. The margarita pizza is awesome. Our server was nice but didn't check back very often.

Love the vibe, the ambience. The outdoor seating area is what did it for me. Drinks and prices were good. Bartenders were very attentive. Music was great. Would highly recommend this place.

Pretty chill place. Good music, cocktails. They have some good craft beers too. As far as food - ribs, truffle oil fries appetizers are worth giving a shot.

A bit pricey for food that isn't all too impressive. We got their ribs, burgers, margherita pizza, and calabrian chili pizza. The food was alright, though my friend said the ribs were a little dry. Free sangria (not very strong) with check in.

Service was great and and the restaurant/bar has a chill ambiance. I'd say this place isn't bad for a night out with friends, but don't expect to have your socks blown off.
