   I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. Walking in I was disappointed in the decor and figured this was just another gimmick restaurant in Fulton Market. The food had very authentic flavors and minus the Shrimp Aguachile ( which came out too raw).

   The food was good and the ambience was nice. However, I’m a little disappointed because in the reservation I specifically stated that we were celebrating a birthday and that was not acknowledged when we checked in or at the table at all, the check was brought before I could even bring it up to the waitress. The manager was also rude to my friend about her outfit. Not sure what the restaurant dress code is but she was dressed business causal and it was a Tuesday night and the restaurant did not have a lot of patrons.

   The food was good, but you have to special prep it to your liking because i think they put potatoes. And peas in everything. $20 a shot with a minimum of 4 was outrageous. The churro dessert wasn’t served to us with the chocolate sauce and i didn’t like how the server just added 20% to both checks at our table

   The ambiance was nice. The service was good overall. Our server Justin was cool and attentive. Recommendations: the guacamole, steak tacos, old-fashioned and pomegranate sorbet. We waited for our table to be ready and sat at the bar for drinks. The bartender seemed to be a little annoyed because I didn’t like my spicy watermelon margarita and I asked for the Summer Love instead. The margarita was a little too strong for me. It had nothing to do with the bartender’s capability to make a great drink. My husband loved his margarita and old fashioned. He said it was one of the best old-fashioned’s he’s had. The guacamole was amazing! Nice warm chips to accompany the guacamole. My steak tacos were good, great flavor. I could do without the potatoes but it still was a good taco. The carne asada steak dinner was flavorful but a bit chewy. Churros were a little firm, maybe due to being piled on ice cream but they were tasty. Pomegranate sorbet was everything! I would like to return for the brunch vibes and Dj to see how that is.

   I was there because of it being my daughter's 33rd birthday. This was both of our 1st time being at this restaurant and it was extremely busy. We had a 8:30 reservation and we got there early (8:00)and sat down at the bar to wait on our table. After sitting there for quite some time we order drinks and began talking. 45 mins and $100.00 in drinks at the bar later, one of the wait staff brings over some dip and chips. We thought it was complimentary and we started eating it and enjoying our drinks. The head bar manager a little asian lady comes over and takes the dip and chips away from us as we're eating it and throws it away in the trash without telling us anything at all. I thought that was extremely rude so I asked her if something was wrong? She told me that was for someone who worked at the bar. I told her I thought it was extremely rude for her to do that, she saw we were eating it. She said absolutely nothing and walked away. At that point I was ready to leave but it was my daughter's birthday so at 8:45 (15 mins after our reservation) I walked back over to the host to inquire about our table. The host seems to have completely forgotten we were sitting at the bar waiting on the table to become available for 45 mins! She tells me to close out my tab at the bar and she would immediately seat me. We order and got our food. Our services was good but the food was not seasoned at all. We ordered the Red Snapper and it came to the table with a huge fishy smell to it so much so that it bothered the guest next to us. We had to keep adding salt and lemon juice to it to get it to our liking. We also ordered the flourless chocolate cake and berries desert. The berries were delicious but the cake was dry and had absolutely no flavor to it at all. I will not be going back to this restaurant again.

    Just the overall experience wasn’t the greatest from the moment I stepped in I wasn’t even seated at a table and asking me to remove my hat was quite rude and life is not what you say. It’s how you say it. The presentation of the old-fashioned was amazing  but the drinks was underside as well for the amount of money spend . I appreciation the direction the restaurant trying to go, but I think it’s better ways to get it done. The restaurant just didn’t have any value for me so I won’t be returning.
