    Parking was a breeze, complete with validation. The vibe matched the photos perfectly—spot-on theme and delicious food. Our waiter, Joel, was super friendly and a pleasure to chat with. All in all, a fantastic experience—I’d definitely recommend it!

    Made dinner reservations for early Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was not busy at all. The ambiance and decor is chic/modern beautiful. Our party arrived at 4, had some HH drinks and bites at the bar what was pretty filling. The pork belly, fries and flat bread were all tasty. Our server Victoria was fabulous. She took great care of our party and showed us a few of the hidden gems this restaurant has for private parties. We ordered the garlic shrimp, yum yum shrimp, goat cheese and mushroom pancheta, poke, Mexican salad and sea bass to share since we were full from HH. All tasty no complaints. Will come back for brunch or to try the steaks on the menu.

    A Celebration Done Right! From start to finish, this place exceeded expectations! The ambiance was stylish yet cozy, the service was outstanding, and the food—absolutely incredible. Our waitress,Sam, was friendly, attentive, and gave spot-on recommendations. I have some dietary restrictions, and they went above and beyond to adjust dishes without sacrificing flavor—a rare and much-appreciated touch! The Snake Oil cocktail was perfectly balanced, the bulgogi on a Boa bun and beef tartare on bone marrow were rich and flavorful, and the burgers were juicy and cooked to perfection. Just when we thought we couldn’t eat more, the Bananas Foster arrived—and it was next-level delicious. This place nails every detail—food, service, and atmosphere. Already excited to come back!
