   We were a party of 5 and went to celebrate New Year's Eve and our kid's anniversary. We were so excited to try but were extremely disappointed. We started with cocktails (Danger is My Middle Name, Oaxacan Beets, Cats Meow and Pink Pony Club). I have never seen my family not finish a drink, but the drinks were all so sweet we just kept diluting them with water. The server never inquired if we liked the drinks, or we would have said something and sent them back. Then we ordered appetizers. The burrata was fine, and the brussels sprouts and patatas bravas were very good. The shrimp tacos were good but nothing special. Lastly, we had the pork chop and Dino Ribs ($120 for two). The ribs were tender, but I expected them to be seasoned and wow. The pork chop was good but had a sweet taste and not the rich French onion soup taste the description led us to expect. We had said we were celebrating an anniversary and it was never acknowledged. They also forgot to take my $20 welcome off my check, which I didn't notice. If the drinks had been drinkable, or the service better, we would give it another try. I hope this was just an off night for them.

   Everything we ordered was great! Brussels sprouts and potatoes were surprisingly amazing. The sausage and oxtail were to die for. Definitely coming back

   Food was delicious! We ordered lots of different options from the menu to share as a group. Everything was beautifully presented and yummy! Service, atmosphere and drinks were all wonderful.

   Amazing experience. The food was fantastic. The Patatas Bravas were spectacular and the Ribeye was cooked exactly as ordered. The service was attentive while still remaining friendly, and the owner has a hospitable charm. Will definitely come back.

   Food was good and drinks were good too. Customer service had a lot to make up for as they were not having it. Our party tried to be as cooperative as possible as we knew it was a late reservation but from the get go I knew that the service was going to be bad. From the hostess not answering my “hi, how are you?” Question to the server and waitress just having a dreadful demeanor and saying they had done last call already after we ordered a second round of drinks and I had to remind her that no one told us they had done last call. Not a pleasant experience

   It was different. Not what we expected. The food items we had were good, but rather skimpy for the price. The server explained to us that nothing comes with your order. My husband had meatballs and that was it. He did order a side of rice. Again we were just surprised but maybe that is the new way restaurants are going.

   Great food! We didn’t have any left overs. Gotta try that pork chop and crudo next time. Hopefully they bring back yellowtail instead of salmon. Great service shout out Chris!

   This place is amazing, the food is quite possibly the best around! We ordered the meatballs which are a must,y son got shrimp and said it was the best he has ever had, and of course we ordered the ribeyes because if you haven’t had it here yet… you are missing out! This place is so good, and the service and owner are on it! Highly recommend and going on Christmas an Eve was a great choice, made the night that much better.

    The food was lovely for the most part with the salmon crudo as the only bit of disappointment. I dont like brussel sprouts but they were very very good with nice dipping sauces. I was not fond of the smell in the restaurant which was a bit sewer-y and offputting.
