This is a restaurant where we have only had drinks and dessert, which are great. Whether I sat inside or outside, I got great service by everyone. My girlfriend and I want to go for dinner very soon. They may only be a 5 year old restaurant but you feel like they have been running it for 20 years. If you are in the area, please go there just for a drink and you will become a frequent customer.

This place is a hidden gem. I stumbled upon it and I won’t order anywhere else around here. Food is underrated. Tonight, I just wish that I got what I ordered. They brought the grilled chicken when I ordered breaded. I ate it anyway and luckily is really good. Just next time be more mindful. Also nice place to sit and eat too.

We love this place so much! The food and drinks are consistently delicious and the employees are incredible. Whenever friends are visiting from out of town we make it a point to have dinner here. Their happy hour is the best in the city! Stop by for a $5 Sangria. Our favorite dishes include the bacon wrapped chorizo, the brisket, prosciutto chicken and garlic shrimps. My husband and I come here once a week (sometimes more.) We especially love Felipe and Alessandra. Restaurants...
