    If you come to old SJ, don't do seafood. Let that be for the coast. We got churrasco and pechuga with rice and beans, and it was really good. Tasty. It's not the first time. Third time. Recommended

    The food at this restaurant was absolutely terrible — it was bland, overcooked, and clearly made with low-quality ingredients. To make matters worse, it was outrageously expensive for what they served.

    Went with an interest on steaks being a grill house, but only found sirloin and skirt steak options. I didn’t review the menu before going. However, the ambiance is marvelous. Service was on point. The “cured concrete” design added an appropriate vibe. Tastes the minced garlic shrimp, pumpkin soup, lobster risotto and crème brûlée. Everything was delicious. Saw an ample offerings of wine if you are into that.
