Today was our first time here. We will definitely be back soon! Our food was delicious and the service was great. What a cute and inviting space! Make sure you check out their little plant area when you first near the bar area. They had a string of turtles, which happens to be my favorite! I love seeing live plants in places, makes it a little extra enjoyable for me!

I ordered the shrimp ceviche, and it was amazing! Fresh, light, and filling! I added extra lime juice. The staff were great and it was clean in there. I'm definitely going back!
