    Love this place and its small casual vibe! Friendly staff, great creative food options from small plates to entrees - everything we’ve tried has been delicious, good reasonable wine selection. Sit at the bar with Dorothy and enjoy the classic vinyl!

    We sit at the bar counter which can be reserved. Friendly staff from hostess to those who run the place. Nice ambiance inside and out. Play great music off of vinyl record collection. We did several small plates and wine. All excellent. Bartender and staff are efficient and attentive. We will keep coming back.

    Charming spot! We sat outside and enjoyed the cutest ambiance. I had an amazing coconut guava margarita — so unique and refreshing. Our waitress was incredibly kind and really knew the menu well, offering great recommendations. The small plates (platas) were perfect for sharing — we ordered four between the two of us, and every single dish was absolutely delicious.

    We sat at the bar again and Dorothy was her usual charming and attentive self. The rest of the staff are exceptionally fantastic and energetic and always excited to share in conversations and showing pictures. It’s like being at home, totally relaxed. Enjoying outstanding food and a great vodka tonic.
