This is a very unique restaurant in every way. We consider ourselves true foodies and have never experienced anything like it. The ambiance created by its firewood lined partitions, brick walls and open kitchen dominated by it mesquite fired grill create an extraordinary ambience. The blackened tempura onions should not be missed. There were many excellent seafood options. We chose the seared hamachi. We also shared the very impressive espresso rubbed kurobuto pork with fermented apple relish. The also make very intriguing cocktails that complement the food beautifully. If you like mezcal, we recommend the Averno. We can’t wait to return on our next trip.

Hands down best meal I’ve had this year, maybe longer! From the ambiance to the service it was 4 stars even before I took a bite-Vinnie was the best! To say the food was amazing is an understatement. The presentation takes you in and it doesn’t disappoint. Will definitely be back.

Everything from the moment I walked in was an amazing experience. Every course was presented beautifully and with great explanation. My service was attentive and thorough, which I appreciated as I was dining solo. I can’t say enough good things and I can’t wait to return!

Amazing experience overall! Drinks and food were well woth it, staff was incredible. I got one of the mezcal drinks (not the sweet one) and the broccoli and charred fried onions (forget the name) and the short rib. All great options with great detail and closed the night off with pumpkin pie that was sinful. Will be coming back on my next trip.
