    Took my husband here as a treat for his birthday. Everything was outstanding. While menu prices are generally up there, we were allowed to split the 4 course tasting and that was great: neither one of us could have eaten that much solo (we were both stuffed by the time we got through it), it allowed us to try several things on the menu (which we wanted to do, because there were so many things on the menu that sounded so interesting and appealing), and we didn’t completely break the bank. Our server was wonderful - friendly, prompt and informative. Neighborhood was quiet and interesting (next Corktown if you ask me) and there was a private parking lot for the restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

    Food was excellent. Service from Carlos was excellent & didn't feel rushed. The volume was low so you could hear your conversations. They sat us at a table near the window with view of the patio which was nice. I'd say the only criticism where drinks are a little pricey and valet $ for being so close to the door.

    We had a party of 8, and everyone enjoyed the night. It has become one of our favorites even though we live about 40 minutes away. Everything is good here food, service, quantity, value, and atmosphere. We will try to get back whenever we can.
