    I hate to write that this is a superior restaurant with superior food and service because then everybody’s going to come and it’ll be hard for me to get a reservation. But honesty has worn out, and I’m giving it a superior recommendation. It is just charming, wait staff front desk —everything about it is great And it has outside dining also. Can’t wait to return!

    We had a wonderful experience. Even though we made a mistake with our reservation, Maria the beautiful Maitre D was phenomenal and so helpful and secured us a table after we enjoyed cocktails at the bar. Our party ordered the flautas, shishito peppers, hummus and burrata to start. All were meticulously prepared and delicious. Our long time fave is the hummus which comes with a delicious paratha. The flautas were excellent as well. Entrees were the carne asada, Halibut special and camarones. The carne asada came with a fresh and tasty chimichurri sauce and the quality of the steak was outstanding. The Halibut was perfectly prepared and just delicious.
