About the restaurant

A culinary space where Chef John Bertrand aims to elevate his creativity and culinary excellence to new heights.
His cuisine, a creative blend of tradition and experimentation, presents itself as a sensory journey through the world, merging local ingredients with global influences. Each dish is a tribute to Mexico, reflecting the chef's experiences from childhood to his mother's culinary teachings, turning each creation into an honest and emotive expression.
For Bertrand, the gastronomic experience transcends mere food; it is a work of art in which both the kitchen team and the service staff actively participate to transport the diner through unique flavors and sensations.

We only had cocktails and one appetizer but it was a restaurant I visited in the pass except that the cocktails are now a lot better. It is a great place with awesome ambiance and the escape room is always a great touch.

Pros: our hostess Valeria and her colleague. Kind, prompt, welcoming. Excellent, innovative cocktails. Cons: don't sit outside - you miss out on the ambience and music from the restaurant next door and across the street resonates. Food: the squash blossoms were perfectly fried, covered with a cloud of Parmesan. Padron peppers - tasted great, but had a pool of oil in the bowl Calamari- perfectly fried but could use some seasoning. Don't ask for chiles or hot sauce. We had a woman with very short black hair snap, "We don't do that. It's not Mexican." The only false note that evening. The food could better complement the fantastic cocktail menu. Cool place, creative menu. Love the story behind each cocktail. Worth a visit.

A perfect night with my family. The experience started at the vinyl shop, then with the amazing food at the restaurant. We went to the Piano Bar for a night cap and ended up singing with the entertainers… final hours were spent at the music hall with an awesome tribute rock band. So in summary our quiet dinner transformed into a memorable family event singing , Finding vinyl treasures and enjoying the ambiance. It may be due to Easter vacation but it was not as busy as we hope it gets because it’s a great please to go and have a good time.
