    “We went for Thanksgiving, not expecting much. Understanding they would be busy at 7pm, we decided to take our chances and walk in. Super friendly service. We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert. Really worth it”

    “The tacos and margaritas were definitely the highlight of our visit! The tacos came out fresh and packed with flavor. The tortillas were soft, the fillings were well seasoned, and everything tasted freshly prepared. We tried a few different tacos, which made it nice to share and sample different flavors. The margaritas were just as good—refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet like you get at some places. You could actually taste the tequila and fresh lime, and they paired perfectly with the tacos. Overall, it was a really enjoyable combination of good food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for a spot to grab tacos and margaritas with friends, this is definitely worth checking out. I would come back again, especially for the margaritas!”

    “We came here after being directed from another bar because our group was too big, and what a great intervention from the universe. We immediately got a standing table for our group of 10+ and our host Genevieve welcomed us so warmly and so attentively, especially for my husband celebrating his birthday. Probably about 20 mins later, a table opened up and she was able to get our group seated, and get extra chairs from outside wiped from the rain. The cocktails were great, our group had a bunch of the Grey Garden (Earl Grey-infused gin-based drink) and our host recommended other yummy cocktails, they had a handful of tea-infused ones that tasted great. We thought we’d just stay for a drink or two but ended up staying for four hours until 2am. Another table ended up buying us a round of shots back and forth with us! This bar was good vibes all around, with great drinks, a great bartender, and amazing host - shout out for our great time, Genevieve!”
