“ de Mole has the friendliest staff and the best atmosphere for a date night or dinner with friends. I got the chorizo nachos as an appetizer, followed by the shrimp quesadilla, both of which were great. I think the real star, though, is their drink menu, specifically the santo maize clan. A nice, smooth drink for bourbon lovers. I’ll definitely be returning. ”

“ A love letter to De Mole We cannot overstate how much we recommend De Mole. A few months ago, we visited the restaurant for dinner and were blown away by the exceptional quality of the food, drinks, ambiance, and—most importantly—the warmth and professionalism of the chefs, manager, and staff. It felt like we were enjoying an amazing dinner with lifelong friends. That experience left such a lasting impression on us that, when it came time to plan a 40-person engagement party, we knew exactly where to go: De Mole. Over the course of a month, we worked closely with Chef Ruth and Alex to design the perfect celebration, from the menu to the drinks to the overall atmosphere. De Mole is not like a typical event venue where you’re given a set menu with a “take it or leave it” attitude. From the very beginning, De Mole made the entire experience about us. We collaborated on every detail, relying on their team’s wealth of experience to create an unforgettable evening. During the event, the staff greeted each of our guests with genuine warmth, offering them a drink of their choice as soon as they arrived. As the meal began, the team made it a point to check in with each guest, ensuring everyone had exactly what they needed—whether it was more food, a different drink, or adjustments for specific preferences. There was never a moment where asking for more felt like a burden, and the quality of the food and service seemed to keep getting better as the evening went on. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the party, with many asking where we had found such an incredible venue and how we discovered De Mole. We couldn’t be happier to have celebrated our engagement here and are confident that many of our guests will now become lifelong customers. Thank you, Chef Ruth, Alex, and the entire De Mole team, for making our celebration so special. You’ve given us—and our guests—memories to treasure forever. ”
“ Celebrated my birthday brunch here! The service was great and the food was even better, the all you can eat brunch is so worth it! ”
“ If I could give it more stars I would! Alex and the team created such a memorable brunch experience for my birthday. We did bottomless food/ drinks and they were able to provide delicious vegetarian options and alternative non alcoholic beverages for those who don’t drink. Such wonderful, inviting energy and they were incredibly attentive and funny! Would absolutely recommend to have a large gathering or just to swing by with a friend. Will absolutely be back! ”
“ Had such a great dinner experience here. The food was delicious and super flavorful but what really made the night though was Jesus, our server!! He was so friendly, attentive without hovering, and made us feel really taken care of the whole time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests having a good experience and we are definitely coming back. ”
