Excellent dining experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor, with beautiful contemporary presentation. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and true to its roots. The service was fast and attentive—Zach was an outstanding server who was very knowledgeable about the menu and explained the flavor profiles in a way that really enhanced the meal. The atmosphere was unique, well maintained, and added to the overall experience. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Valentine’s Day done right
They had a pre-fixe menu for the evening and unfortunately there weren’t vegan options available. Once the owner learned I was vegan, he immediately had the chef prepare special vegan plates just for me.
That level of attention and kindness made the night so special. The dishes were delicious and beautifully prepared, but what stood out most was the genuine hospitality.
Customer service like this is rare. We will absolutely be back.

Here for a Parlor Social event in their space to the left that’s dedicated. People did come and go to the elevators in that space but it wasn’t too distracting. The space is great for mingling. The restaurant had some great seating arrangements. Making it open concept but somewhat nook in spots. Fair warning to the ladies that the first bathroom on the right after the two mens bathroom doors doesn’t lock and closes very slowly. The last door closes quickly and locks.
Rocky gave great service and everyone was happy with the presentation and taste of their food and drink. Thank you!

Food took almost 2hrs to come out. Lobster roll was so overcooked that it felt like rubber. Snapper came out burnt (beyond overcooked!) Shrimp taco were fine for an appetizer but not worth the 45min wait. Waiter was incredibly rude and slow. Drinks were fine but also each took about 45 minutes. Food was served without utensils so we had to wait even longer. Couldn’t finish anything and left with the nasty burnt fish taste in our mouth and empty stomachs.
On the only bright side, the manager was incredibly sweet when we talked to him.

I LOVE this restaurant. My boyfriend takes me here for special occasions. The staff is so welcoming & the food is amazing. We went for our anniversary and they definitely made it special.

Went the other day and it was such a nice spot out with my friend. My server Sebastian had the best recommendations. They are also able to put a picture on cocktails, it was so cool! Best food coma ever

First off we spent around $1k and I had a hair in my appetizer, looked for the server multiple times and had to reorder drinks multiple times. I truly don’t know if what we paid for was accurate with how poor the service was. There was a camera right above our table as well so I’m surprised even though I mentioned not to worry about it that surely something would have been mentioned . Nope! Very disappointed this is the service we received I truly had higher expectations being we chose here to celebrate! Also I couldn’t eat my entree because I was disgusted with the hair and obviously I didn’t want to say anything and ruin others experience. I don’t know if it was the food or what had already experienced but I couldn’t eat it he snapper it smelt fishy, overcooked, and cold.

Pleasantly impressed with everything. The staff, food, and atmosphere was really nice and calming. Ordered the guacamole, salmon, corn, fries and shrimp tacos. Everything tasted really good. Service was on point and relaxing. Valet is available and probably recommended unless you arrive at a good time for street parking downtown

I wanted to like this place but unfortunately it felt far short of expectations, especially for a Michelin recommended restaurant (though perhaps I should’ve been more skeptical given it had only opened <8 months before it was recommended).
The restaurant itself is beautiful, of course. Very architecturally interesting and a cool, sexy vibe. Waitress asked us what we wanted to drink as soon as we sat down, and we obviously hadn’t had time to look at anything yet. She then didn’t come back for about 10 minutes before we got our drink order in finally. When told I didn’t like sweet drinks, she said that the four I asked about were all sweet, which didn’t bode well for the small-ish drink menu. Placed our drink orders as well as an order for the tetela. Took about 20 minutes to get our drink in a mostly empty restaurant on a Tuesday night, didn’t get the tetela for another ten minutes after that. We then waited more than another full half hour to get all our remaining items at once, including one more appetizer from the raw bar. It was difficult to eat a raw dish (though it was also partly cooked), the entree, and a side veg all at the same time.
On to the food:
– Tetela was mostly tasty, though it was overwhelmed with the tad-too-sweet sauce.
– the shrimp aguachile was prob the best dish we had but it only had three shrimp and was literally two fried tacos filled with potato and chorizo, which was definitely good but also not what I expected or thought of as an aguachile
– Tikin xic salmon—one of the two pieces was extremely undercooked; salmon itself wasn’t seasoned at all
– roasted cabbage—cabbage itself was good but the pipian sauce was tasteless
The drinks we had were also underwhelming, and we were disappointed enough with the food that we skipped dessert. Also, a strange tidbit: it was my birthday, and we were told they give a free whiskey sour for birthdays. An odd thing to offer for a birthday and even odder drink choice for a Mexican restaurant.
Overall, for a $200 bill, we were extremely disappointed and wont be coming back here when Austin has several other great interior Mexican choices.

I’m really surprised at the quality of the food when this restaurant was Michelin recommended. The food wasn’t bad but it was nothing special and it didn’t feel creative at all. And for the price we were expecting a more imaginative.
We ordered the shrimp ceviche and it wasn’t anything special or unique, it was good but not great. The oysters did not have a creative twist, they were good, but they were the same oysters I could get anywhere else.
The steak was pleasant, cooked well, but nothing overtly different or out of the box. The sauce trio was disappointing, the moles were good but felt out of place. The sides were ok. The esquite was good, but it was the priciest esquite I’ll ever pay fo and the brussel sprouts just felt out of place.
The dessert fell flat, the flan was a little firmer than I would have liked.
The service could have saved this experience but it was incredibly lack luster. It was hard to be excited about the food when our waitress seemed so tired and overwhelmed. I would have expected service like this at a fast food joint, not a fine dining experience. When I asked questions about the food and menu, our waitress couldn’t answer our questions and didn’t seem interested in finding us an answer.
All in all, I won’t be returning and I won’t be recommending. For the cost, it’s simply not worth it.
