Took my girl and her mom for dinner in Saturday Night and we started with The Leche de Tigre Oysters and they were delicious! They had a Zesty lemon taste spicy salty and fresh! Also the Ceasar salad was perfect and the Margarita pizza was crispy well cooked (no flap) and the doe on the pizza was incredibly flavorful. We finished the meal with the 20 oz steak and asked for it Medium and it was brilliant! They had excellent service a great ambiance! The Sangria was scary good!

We tried three dishes: empanadas, octopus and Branzino. The empanadas came with a mild hot sauce that enhanced this flavorful tapa quite well. Next, my first taste of the octopus wasn’t very impressive. Although quite tender (I felt MSG was used as a tenderizer, but can’t confirm that) , but its flavoring was a bit light. Then I tried a piece with its buttery mashed potato, the flavor became robust instantly. Finally, the branzino was grilled to near perfection and the olive tomato sauce was interesting. Overall, it was an excellent dish.
We’ve enjoyed the food here, but a couple things that made this place a 4* instead of a 5. First, we could see our dishes were ready from the open kitchen, but took much longer than necessary to be brought to us. As a result, our dishes were all just luke warm. Next, for the prices we’ve paid, we’d expected a much better ambience for our outdoor dinning. Instead, we sat on metal chairs that resembled low end patio furniture and had a view of large blue tarps covering 60% of the dinning area.

We came here for the first time Friday night. Made reservations and it was a good thing we did. The place was amazing. The atmosphere was great, the service was even better, and the food… The food was out of this world. We got a couple tapas, a bottle of the sangria, the rib eye and the paella plus the chocolate cake and apple tartine for dessert… Each dish was better than the next! We definitely have found a special place.

Excellent service and innovative menu! The Barrel Age cocktail experience is so unique. You can try a flight or a full pour which they bottle and wax seal on their own. This allows you to even purchase to go!!! An absolute must try!! Also, a broad wine selection. The hangar steak was excellent and their entree special filet mignon with wild mushrooms, demi glace was the best we’ve ever had! Great ambiance…the artwork is gorgeous!! Great dining experience. GREAT everything!!

This spot is outstanding. I was really impressed by the variety on the menu and every drink we tried was fantastic. Gustavo made the experience even better with his skill and friendliness behind the bar. Truly one of the best places to enjoy great food and drinks.

I love this place but valentines was a miss for the price. While the food as always was fantastic the atmosphere and service were sub par. We waited almost 30 minutes for a table with a reservation and watched walk ins get seated first. Additionally the tables were over seated and the space was too tight. People were bumping into each-other and the tables constantly. The live music was nice but too loud and not clearly displayed I never saw the actual band from where I was. While we will absolutely be back, perhaps not for a high traffic day. The space simply can’t handle the demand they had.

Above average taste with an extended wait and poor customer service. Some of their dishes are delicious, while others fall short of expectations. For example, the ceviche was solid—8/10—but their pizza was about 6/10 at best. Overall, though, most dishes were solid 8/10, and that’s pretty good for a restaurant in Claremont (as opposed to LA). However, the hallmark of this restaurant is the slow-paced and incompetent staff. First, no matter the time of day, it takes forever for them to bring food, even if the restaurant isn’t that busy. When my party dined here for a late lunch, the restaurant was about 60% full, but it still took over 30 minutes to get our dishes after we were seated. So, only come here if you have a ton of time to kill.
Another issue is the staff. While some employees (the owner, for example) seem to know what they’re doing, others—well, not so much. One of the female workers couldn’t handle a simple reservation change request on phone call and had to report to two different employees to figure it out. What should have been a quick 5-minute phone call turned into a 15-minute ordeal with three different staff members involved. The same female employee continued to show her lack of competency in person when we arrived, leaving us hanging without a table until I had to ask her boss to get us seated.
So, next time I come here (though I doubt there will be a next time), I really hope they work on improving staffing and management, because I still see some potential. 🙂

I’ve not been here since 2022, but wanted to give props for the Rittenhouse Rye Old Fashioned I brought home last visit and just cracked for Super Bowl LX (Go Hawks)! Delicious and makes me want to head back for a re-stock and some delicious grub.

Came here for dinner around 5pm when they opened. Was greeted swiftly and our orders taken immediately. Food took awhile to get delivered (45 minutes) but our server was kind to check in on us. The pulpos and hangar steak is a must try!

We finally checked this place out a few days ago and it exceeded every expectation! Word of advice: make a reservation. It was packed, and it’s easy to see why. The vibe is spot on, and the staff honestly treats you like royalty. But the real star is the food absolutely out of this world. We kept thinking the next dish couldn’t possibly beat the one before it, but we were wrong every time! We’ve officially found our new favorite spot.
