Once the restaurant is full, we use a waitlist through OpenTable which notifies you via text message when your table is available. You must be physically present to get on that waitlist. With strong support from soufflé seekers, that wait can be lengthy, especially on the weekends. We have opened up a handful of reservations for our last seating of weekend brunch services to offer an alternative to the waitlist and guarantee a spot for the few who are seeking to join us later in the day.These spots are coveted and can be booked up to 30 days in advance for Saturday and Sundays only from 2:45pm-3:15pm.

    I ordered a matcha martini and two apps (chicken empanadas and the piña pollo fritto.) Everything was delicious! The piña pollo was also a very good size that it could definitely be ordered as a main for one person. The matcha martini was so yummy I had to force myself not to drink it down in one sip 🤭 Ambiance was very nice too. Only took off a point because they forgot to bring out the second drink I ordered, however, they brought me a free glass of champagne to make up for it! I will certainly be coming back in the future :)

    Good food but a bit overpriced. Really wish this place would do some modifications in regards to their booth style seats. We were sat in a dirty booth with crumbs and stains on all the fabric and honestly wish better care was taken by this bussers. We made a reservation a month out and luckily got sat within 5 mins of checking in. Though open air, a divider separating the bar from the rest or the restaurant would be nice considering the amount of birds constantly flying through. I noticed food being left unattended once prepared and it'll make you worry if one of the birds might have touched it. The staff weren't as attentive but they did their best with the busyness of the restaurant.
