Fantastic! Food was amazing! Service was over the top attentive. We had a group of 7 and there was at least 3 different people helping us and one of the chefs came out to us to make sure all was great and detailed some of the dishes. And the restaurant itself is contemporary and spotless with low lights and candles and looks amazing. Overall a great find! Worth every dollar and then some. We definitely will be back!

The food was nothing special and very expensive, the drinks were ok. We had a good time but I don't think I would go back. It was very noisy. The service was excellent.

There is zero atmosphere in the place. They were out of alcohol that was on the menu. The food was surprisingly above our low expectations (following our one visit to Baccalar). Our server was very good. When she noticed mistakes in what was served versus what was ordered she adjusted bill. The place needs a real atmosphere. The setting is good inside and outside but it is always 80% empty. They might need a re-launch with a new restaurant/theme.

Had our anniversary dinner here and it was wonderful. The service was outstanding and the ceviche and sweet potatoes were my favorite item on the menu. The cocktails are also great. Highly recommend and will be going back.

I’ll come back and give it a try again since it’s a busy weekend. But it took a long time to get some simple egg tacos.

Jorge the bartender made all the difference in our visit. The ambiance was beautiful. The four stars are for limited menu and forgetfulness of the waiter.
