Reviews
When we arrived, we weren’t seated right away because our entire party wasn’t there yet (even though most of us had arrived). At first, we were placed away from the main outdoor space, which felt quiet and a bit underwhelming. Luckily, we convinced the host to move us to the main outdoor area — much livelier, and honestly the main reason we chose this spot.
Overall, the food and drinks were solid. Most dishes weren’t overly spicy, so they worked well for everyone. The cocktails were enjoyable, but I’d skip the Mexican Martini — interesting concept, but it didn’t quite land. They also had limited juice options (only pineapple and cranberry).
Our server was friendly, but I wish he had written down our order instead of trying to memorize it — one of our mains was served incorrectly. The menu is best enjoyed tapas-style, with small and large plates to share.
Expect to spend around $100 per person if you’re sharing dishes and having a couple of cocktails. Parking can be tricky if you’re hoping for free street parking, but valet and nearby lots are available.
We ended up having a good time, and I’d recommend this spot for a sunset catch-up with friends over drinks. Just note: it gets chilly in the evenings, so bring an extra layer. Enjoy!
That said, the food was just okay for me. Nothing terrible, but nothing that really stood out either. Pretty average overall. I think I’d come back more for the ambiance than the food itself.
Our servers, Juan and Oliver, were incredibly sweet and attentive — they made us feel right at home. And the food? Delicious. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the portions were large, which makes this an awesome spot to share plates with friends or a group.
All in all, this place totally exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to go back!
The menu is anything but ordinary – from the appetizers to the cocktails, we wanted to try everything! it was clear the chef balanced innovation and tradition.
We went for a special occasion, and the service didn’t disappoint. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcome without being overbearing. And the music? Let’s just say it had us wishing for a dance floor!
If you’re looking for a restaurant that offers more than just a meal, this is it. Beautiful views, delicious food, great drinks, and a vibe that will leave you planning your next visit.
Food was pretty good. I can’t say I was blown away but it was tasty. The best part of the meal was the tostadas and salsas. I couldn’t stop eating them. They have chilaquilles on the menu, which I unfortunately skipped on, but would return just to try them out as they looked good and if the salsas are an indicator, then the sheelas must be banging.
Price point is a bit high but when in the arts district, it is what is expected.
Cocktails were okay and the staff was nice enough.
The recommended tip amounts on the bill include the tax, which doesn’t sit well with me.
I might return one day.
We had the enfrijolada, the fish, and a cocktail.
We had a few drinks and shared the guacamole dip. While the appetizer was fresh and the chips had a unique, tasty twist, the portion size didn’t quite match the price. Surprisingly, it was pretty slow for a Saturday.
Overall, I’d definitely give it another try, especially since the breakfast options looked delicious.
It was a little tricky to locate when we arrived because there isn’t a big clear name sign but it’s right next to the sushi restaurant.
The ambience was lovely and welcoming. It was a bit breezy they brought out space heaters which was nice.
For drinks I had the spicy pineapple marg, a Jamaica drink, and a Moscow mule. The marg was spicy and strong but the pineapple flavor didn’t come through. The mule was overpowered by a fresh ginger taste, and I generally didn’t like the taste of the Jamaica drink even though the presentation was lovely.
For starters had the Guacamole chips and various salsa’s and the Jicama salad. I loved the rice cake-like texture of the chips and the guacamole and all the salsa’s! The guac is so great I wish they’d increase the portion size in the bowls. The salad was great as well – a good mix between tangy and sweet.
For mains we had the carnitas and fish. The carnitas were perfectly crunch on the outside but tender and flavorful on the inside. Not a big fan of seafood so I can’t speak too highly of the ceviche and fish dish.
For desert we had churros with 3 different dipping sauces and it was delicious! Some of the best I’ve had.
My favorites that I’d recommend you order are the chips and guac, the carnitas and the churros!
Overall service was decent- servers were friendly but because it was a large group there were a few mix ups with drinks or forgotten drink orders.
