It was our first time here, and we took the chance to sample a little bit of everything. We were not disappointed! Be sure to save room for the crème brûlée—it’s a must-try!

Upon arriving for our reservation, we were treated as if we were unwanted guests, stuck at a small table right next to the front door. They didn't seem to understand that it was a BYOB establishment; the waiter even suggested that “people just run over to CVS and buy a bottle of wine since they have a wide selection.” No, thank you! The ceviche came with a blob of sweet potato purée down the side of the plate, which overpowered the citrus flavors of the dish. The chimichurri was strangely creamy as well. The service felt uninviting and lacked attention. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience.

Eating, personal and menu was great. we enjoyed it so much that we go back next week. Wednesday is tapas at night, see them there! read more Eating, personal and menu was great. we enjoyed it so much that we go back next week. Wednesday is tapas at night, see them there!
