Yelp.com Review - by Phil M.

4.0 of 5 stars. 3 stars for naming your place "balzac". Another star for the wine glasses. I hate stemware.

Yelp.com Review - by Mark M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Someone said this place served "bland" food? They obviously did not have the riojo pasta dish. The vodka gravy was bold in flavor and nearly too spicy. The wife enjoyed a "cutting board" margahrita...

4.0 of 5 stars. Great spot for splitting a bottle of wine on the patio (back garden or front) on a warm summer night. The cheese and fruit plates are exceptional, too, and the staff seems knowledgeable. As an added...

Yelp.com Review - by Rob H.

5.0 of 5 stars. We try to go to Balzac as often as humanly possible. This is a really wonderful atmosphere, and a little dark which makes it a great place to grab a nice bottle and talk. The tapas here are pretty...

Yelp.com Review - by Michael T.

3.0 of 5 stars. Nothing special. I'd rather have gone somewhere else. The Patio borders on a parking lot and an alley out to Brady St. I think tapas is hard to do well and this place didn't impress me (we had...

Yelp.com Review - by Stephen S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Balzac. Magnifique.This overlooked gem shines! Brady Street is a mix of (mostly) frumpy & dumpy or classy & sassy...this being one of the few that fall in the latter.It's a bit hard to miss Balzac if...

5.0 of 5 stars. We found this place tucked around the backside of Apollo Cafe when we were in a rush but were curious to try something new. Despite the little amount of time we had, the man behind the bar assured us...
