I thought the food had a lot of flavor. Our server was attentive and our dishes came out quickly. We went here prior to seeing a play at Paramount and it was a short walk.

How about this: Wow! The ambiance was incredible, and the staff were so lovely! The drink menu was super creative and delicious. We were stranded at a hotel due to a power outage in our area, and we're so glad we found this gem! You need to book in advance, but it's totally worth the wait. The drinks were pricey but worth every penny 💕 We'll definitely be back!

We had an outstanding experience from the food, to the ambiance and service. The crab cakes were very meaty with minimal breadcrumbs. Lobster Mac was indulgent and the spaghetti Amatriciana was packed with flavor and the pasta was perfectly al dente—I couldn’t believe it was gluten-free! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and the chef was generous with his time getting to know us. The decors is both sophisticated and casual at the same time, very comfortable.

Amazing cocktails and good values. Service was very attentive and friendly. Loved the refined guacamole, plantains and carne asada. The bananas for dessert were extra delicious and gluten free. We will be back soon!
