    Wonderful Tuesday Taco Night specials. And don’t miss the Corn ribs, with wonderful sauce. Server also brought wet wipes for our fingers. Only downside: I wish the menu offered some side salad or non-starchy vegetables.

    Our waitress, Alexis was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. An uncommon combination. My wife and I were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary and her attention made our experience especially memorable. The bartender made my margarita the way I like it at her request and it was perfect. My wife ordered the fish tacos which she said were perfect and I really savored my taco trio. This was our fifth visit and definitely not our last!
    National ClubResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for choosing to celebrate your 26th anniversary with us and for being such loyal guests. We’re so glad your server was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, and that the bartender made your margarita just the way you like it. It’s wonderful to hear the fish tacos and taco trio hit the mark. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon.

    Chicken chimichanga is favorable and plentiful. Likewise the chicken quesadilla. Our server, Jack, is well versed on the menu and paced our meal very nicely.

    Our waitress Julia was outstanding! Food was good, served hot and fresh, sat in a booth in the atrium, booth was a bit too tight at the end of the row. Ladies room was clean and fresh. Very enjoyable experience!

    Menu is somewhat interesting, but my food, my smothered burrito was lukewarm, and obviously had sat out for a while. I like my food hot so that was a problem for me.
    National ClubResponded on 14 October 2026
    Thank you for trying our menu and for the honest feedback. We are sorry that your smothered burrito arrived lukewarm and felt like it had sat out. We appreciate knowing that temperature was important to you. Next time you visit, please feel free to let a team member know you prefer your food very hot. We are happy to accommodate whenever possible.

    Food and drink was good not outstanding, too pricey. Unable to hear conversations, felt cramped, not spacious. Difficult parking in area.
    National ClubResponded on 14 October 2026
    Thank you for visiting and for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and drinks, and sorry that the space felt cramped and made conversation difficult. City parking can be challenging, which is why we have complimentary parking after 5 at the DeMello building in walking distance from the restaurant. We appreciate your comments about pricing and the overall experience, and hope you’ll consider visiting us again.

    The first time we went there it was great. Last time not so much. We had a reservation and arrived on time. We waited about 20-30 minutes past our reservation while people that didn’t have a reservation came in and got seated. The host brought us to our table and the waitress turned us away even though there were 2 empty tables, so the host didn’t know where to put us. He ended up putting us at the very back of the restaurant and the waiter there seemed surprised he had a table. He was very nice but the service was slow and the food was not very good. Mine was basically cold
    National ClubResponded on 16 October 2026
    Thank you for coming back and for the honest feedback. We are sorry your reservation was delayed and that seating confusion did not help, adding to slow service and cold food. We appreciate you letting us know, and we hope you will give us another chance.

    Great Food and Excellent Service! We visited The National Club on a Friday evening for our 6:30 p.m. reservation. The hostess and waitress were both welcoming and offered great food and drink recommendations. We started with tropical guacamole and chips and margaritas, followed by steak fajitas and chicken chimichangas. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We also tried the plantains and finished with churros and chocolate sauce, both of which were excellent. The staff was attentive and genuinely welcoming, although our waitress checked on us a little more often than necessary. The bar area was also quite noisy, making conversation a bit difficult. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the bill was reasonable. It was a great first visit, and I’ll definitely be back!

    Delicious food but the waitresses need to be more attentive. We had to wait almost 10 min for water and our waitress disappearing.
    National ClubResponded on 14 October 2026
    We're glad you enjoyed the food. We are very sorry the service fell short and that you waited almost ten minutes for water while your server disappeared. We appreciate you sharing this. If you are willing, please contact the restaurant with the date and time so we can learn more about your visit.
