Emiliano was an excellent server! The food and service were top notch. We were taken care of every minute of our time there. I love the little service details like new silverware after the appetizer and wiping the table throughout dinner. The bar is extensive with numerous options to choose from. If you like tequila and mezcal the options are literally endless! I highly recommend!!

The food presentation and service are good. There were a few more dishes that I’d like to try but we were already full.

Such a great experience! Great staff! Javier killed it. Was able to make our order fit us perfectly! Karla at the front really got us through the doors and explained the vision of the restaurant. We were so pleased that we couldn’t help but return for dinner. Edgar and Javier made sure that the vision Karla gave to us came to life at our table.
