The Bottom Line

The Verdict

After checking social media & learning about Cosmo's Sunday BOGO 50% off, we decided to try them out. Arriving promptly at 355 pm (they open at 4 pm) allows for the first choice of seating in the intimate dining room. We picked a table near the entrance to the back patio & then promptly went to the counter to order. Overall we had a great experience & would definitely return in the future.

What We Loved

  • Came on a Sunday right before they opened & was able to find parking in front. Walked in at 4 pm & were able to pick a booth towards the back.
  • Sunday special of buy one get one 50% off is a good deal. Note you have to buy the same size for both in order to use the deal.
  • A sink in between bathrooms allows for seamless hand-washing access.
  • Tasty food, good prices & nice overall experience.

What We Didn't Like

  • Parking is a common issue in the Midtown area.
  • Limited indoor seating. If two large groups arrive simultaneously, there is a bottleneck at the cashier near the front door.
