We arrived without a reservation and unfortunately couldn't get a table. Sitting at the bar was fine, but there were quite a few empty tables available. I understand they must have had their reasons. The food was good, and the drinks looked amazing and tasted delicious. I plan to return to try more dishes, and next time, I'll definitely make a reservation.

Delicious experience. Came during Valentine’s day and all the drinks and dishes blew me away. So much that my wife and I can’t agree on our favorite. Will definitely come back. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $80–90

Cool energy with incredible service. Ixchel (unconfirmed spelling) is maybe the single best server I've met in the city, she was incredibly personable and sweet without being overbearing at all. It was incredibly busy for restaurant week, which dampened the vibes a bit they also ran out of steak, the prime dinner option. All of the food we received was tasty. Despite it being incredibly modern (not something I enjoy in a restaurant), the flavors were excellent and deep. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Price per person: $60–70 Recommended dishes: Sweet Plantains, Dessert Trio, Lomo Steak
