This restaurant is not good at all. At best the food is on par with what the average person can cook at home, at worst actively bad, on average it is incredibly bland. Food is also expensive- on par with 14th st restaurants for significantly worse food. The ambiance is fine, but a breakfast restaurant, mismatched with the evening restaurants. The wait staff was friendly but not particularly attentive and service was slow even though only four tables were taken. A huge disappointment, strongly do not recommend (also makes me seriously question Eater, which gave a positive review).

Amazing drinks and tasty food. Service is non-existent. Go here for a drink before dinner elsewhere.

Do not go here! My friend and I went there and it was a horrible experience. We arrived at our reservation time to not be greeted and then had to sit ourselves when the one server acknowledged us. We sat at our table for roughly 30 minutes before being able to order drinks and didn’t receive water until about 40 minutes in. About 15 minutes after we ordered drinks the bartender came over to say that they were out of gin for my cocktail, so I picked a vodka one and that one was also out of something for that as well. I finally found something they had enough of. Then about an hour into sitting down the waitress just randomly tries to give us some oysters that we never ordered. They said they assumed we wanted everything on the menu since we were doing the unlimited option. Last time we talked to them we said “please let us know when we can start ordering food”, that’s the entire conversation we had about ordering food. We noticed that the two other tables, a total of 6 people, that were seated before us still had only about one dish for each table. We decided to call it quits after an hour of barely any service. We came to find out that there is no management at the restaurant and no one restocks items (apparently they had no wine but a wine menu). We also found out that there is only one worker in the kitchen and refuses to send out more than two dishes at a time…for the entire restaurant. If you would like to sit down and not have service or food then this is the place for you! Don’t be deceived by the social media presence that the owner pays for to deceive how it actually is.

The food and service was subpar. At high expectations as I found the restaurant on an Eatery list.

Outstanding experience at this new restaurant. Creative takes on classics as well as innovative dishes. All are ample and delicious - from the tapas to main dishes to desserts, with a nice all-you-can-eat twist. Great care and thought clearly goes into the chef's efforts. Keep an eye on this restaurant and Chef Melendez - he is going places.
