Reviews
It was a busy Saturday night but we were able to be sat at the bar right away. The decorations of the restaurant ranged from whimsical to silly, with Christmas displays up for the holiday. The menu was a little booklet that was mostly different fun “alchemist” style drinks. When we got our drink, it came in a wooden box that was opened and steamed poured out.
It was difficult to decide what to order, but the seasonal item of duck prosciutto wrapped dates was mentioned and we had to get that. That was probably my favorite food item from our weekend trip!
Staff was friendly and checked on us often. Food came out quickly and was beautiful presented. I would go back to try other items on the menu. Of course, if we went back on a busy weekend we’d make a reservation next time.
Great place for a celebration, as it had a louder, busier vibe. But also a good place for a date and some drinks.
A special shout-out to Matt, our server, who took excellent care of us. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome throughout the evening. His service really elevated the whole experience.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend this place to others!
The food, though, was hit or miss. The pork chop was massive, but the flavor didn’t match the portion—could’ve used more seasoning to really stand out. The halibut was nicely done, but the wild rice it came with was a letdown. The deviled eggs with curry weren’t really for me (kind of tasted like cold leftovers), though others at the table enjoyed them.
On the bright side, the fry wedges with all the aiolis were amazing, and the cocktails were definitely the highlight. The presentation was beautiful, and the drink itself was just as good as it looked.
Overall, the service and drinks really shined, while the food left me wishing for a bit more flavor.
The drink and food presentation was magnificent, and we were very excited about what the menu had to offer. As people who indulge in fine dining around Los Angeles, taste fell short of the fine dining prices.
I could not have been more excited for a cocoa nib infused old fashioned with crème de banane, but unfortunately it was way too sweet. My wife found the same with her gin cocktail. The himachi crudo was made with a beautiful yellowtail, but was overwhelmed in flavor by too much sesame oil. All in all the food was good but not great. We were both a bit surprised to be walking away paying $300 for essentially dinner for two plus butter pasta.
I’d recommend this place if you’re in Paso but keep your expectations tempered.
And the cocktails — OMG! On another level. Still haunted by the Esoteric Mood and Belladonna 🙂
The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, and the whole experience never felt rushed.
Every time I’m driving through Paso, I’ll be stopping here. It’s one of those places that just makes you feel good.
I ordered the seasonal veggie plate and it really caught me off guard. The flavors were layered in a way that made you pay attention, and I found myself slowing down between bites without meaning to. It wasn’t overly fancy or showy, just thoughtful and well put together. Price felt fair for what we got, and it was one of those meals you talk about later without even trying.
