    Very tasty food, good service, lovely menu. The prix fixe prices were good, but since you're paying per person it's weird that they only gave 2 frog legs per table (menu made it seem like it would be 2 per person). Plus, they wouldn't let a single person get the wine paring, they required everybody to order it (last time a restaurant imposed that on me was quite a few years ago). They also didn't seem to have read the notes I made on the reservation, and I had to tell them in person it was my girlfriend's birthday.

    Incredible experience, first time diner here, truly blown away by the frog legs alone! The drinks were incredible and the masala chai tres leches cake was to die for

    The pre-fix selection with wine pairing was excellent. The team was very attentive from start to finish. However, I wish the noise level could be improved. I felt like I had to speak louder over our table, and there is not a lot of distance between our table and the tables next to ours.

    Good vibe. Menu is disjointed and not terribly inspired. Except the desserts are epic. I would come just for the chai tres leches cake tbh.

    Made reservations here on Valentines Day. Didn't realize that it was on prix fixe for $99 per person. Wish I knew this. Food was OK, but dinner for two with drinks ran over $400 with tip. Ouch. Definitely wish I didn't go.

    Love their food and immaculate service! The frog leg and uni soba were just perfect. Korean and Spanish fusion is something I never expected, but it is quite convincing combinations. I will definitely come back.

    Loved everything about this meal. We mistakenly made a reservation for Saturday night despite their restaurant week deal only being Monday through Friday but the pre fixe ended up being a better deal with more variety. The soba noodles, patatas bravas, and golden curry with nori rice were delicious & the drinks we had were perfect. I had the "heat of passion" and my partner had both an espresso martini and a terra. Dessert was a tough choice, we went with the masala chai tres leches which we devoured. Also, the service was phenomenal. Couldn't recommend this place more!
