I was disappointed to learn after ordering that the menu item I selected is no longer offered. So I'm given a few minutes to choose another meal. My husband and I both place our orders after I have picked a new one. After about 20 minutes the waitress tells us that they are out of crab and lobster which are 2 of the main items in my husband's order. He had ordered the petite seafood tower which is supposed to come with lobster, crab, ceviche, mussels, oysters, and shrimp. Why we weren't told this when we initially ordered I don't know. Could have definitely saved everyone time and frustration. They did bring us the crab cakes on the house which we're delicious. By the time my husband's food was ready they somehow had some lobster to put on his plate. The food and drinks were good. However not the service I would expect from a restaurant at this price point.

This is a must stop when in El Paso. Top notch service, amazing food, and the entire experience is upscale. Perfect for a celebration, date night, impress a client, or a meal before a flight. The Cream of Green Chili is amazing. Dress code is business casual, no shorts. But shorts are allowed on the patio.

Had the duck and while the flavoring was spot on, it was dry and not crispy enough. Confit should have crispy skin and it wasn’t.
