Stopped in for dinner and had a great meal. Maria R. was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu offering great recommendations. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant. The dishes were delicious as were the drinks recommendations.

The decor in the bar area was unique and I was really blown away by the food quality and options, along with the cocktails. We enjoyed the guacamole starter with wagyu beef, and I had the octopus with pineapple chutney—outstanding! The presentation was nice and the octopus was cooked to perfection—tender and delicious with their corn tortillas. I was intrigued by their terra cotta vessels...read full review
