We had the carnitas, calamari and tuna tartare. All was fresh and delicious- the calamari had a nice kick. The coktails were fun and well made. Top it off with friendly service,9 and it is a great addition to Winthrop!

Food here is outstanding! Staff are very friendly, yet lag time was longer than I'd like. Noise level on a Saturday night was very high. I'll return at times that will be less crowded and hectic. Still recommend!
