Absolutely incredible meal. My boyfriend and I had the Wagyu tartare, scallops, oysters, 35 day aged wagyu steak, fingerling potatoes, and buñuelo for dessert. The service was great, very knowledgeable and fast. They were very accommodating of my seafood allergy and were able to swap out sauces containing fish ingredients and modify dishes to have the seafood portion on the side so there would be no cross contamination. I can’t wait to go back to enjoy their wonderful menu again!

This place was like a hidden gem! Maybe because I never looked into gluten free food options until I had to. But everything was incredible! The location is super cute, they have great mocktails (if you don’t drink) and the food is outstanding! I will definitely be back.
