    What an excellent restaurant. I had been considering changing the reservation (we are visiting from out of town) because of the ‘description’ of the place and it was a long walk from our hotel. But my husband looked at the menu online and got excited (drooled?) over the list of cerviche options….So we walked (it was lovely) and soooo glad we did. We were seated in a great ‘out of the way’ table (we brought our small dog) and Our server Coby was adorable and even though the place was packed —- very attentive. I had the stuffed sweet potato (changes to it were “no problem”) and husband had the Cerviche Tower… Everything was A+! Husband also had the chocolate mousse pie, he loved it. What a great find!!!

    Great vibe. Food was truly outstanding. Service was personable and informative. We are from New Orleans and travel quite a bit. This place was one of the best experiences I’ve had in quite a while, anywhere.

    It's a challenge to maintain excellence when the place is humming, but thank you on behalf of the chef's and staff to highlight the level of execution.

    They had three high chairs in the whole place which was shocking considering how big it is. I wouldn’t call this place very family friendly. Food was okay. They messed up my order. The only nice aspect was our server who was very apologetic.
