    Chris was an absolute amazing server for my wife’s birthday. It was our first time in the restaurant and we absolutely loved it.We started things out with the Cauliflower. The fried chicken sandwich and steak frites were delicious. For libations , we had the Margarita Furioso and The Lone Ranger. Everything was delicious and our ticket ended up being $155.44.

    Eggplant parmigiana was delicious but pasta that came with it was too rich- was more like carbonara & needed to just be plain w olive oil maybe/ next time I’ll try to remember to ask for plain pasta.

    Absolutely LOVED this place. Our cocktails were amazing… I had the “pornstar martini” and the “unholy water” 🤌. The Al Pastor Tacos were by far the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Our waitress Dani was so fun and had a great vibe. Highly recommend the truffle edamame as well.. def had a bit of a spicy kick to it but still so so good. Overall, this place had the best ambience and such a cozy/moody yet sophisticated and sexy vibe to it. They played great music at the DJ booth (I shazamed like 4 songs) Perfect night for a fun date spot! 11/10 !!! Pro tip — if they seat you against the window make sure to sit down first and snag that booth!!!! It was like sitting on a cloud.
