- LLoriVIPPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst time and loved it! Brought my mom for her birthday and we had the sushi nachos (interesting and delicious), sake maki, negi yellowtail, and the hot night 2.0. All were delicious and highly recommended! For dessert we had beignets with salted caramel sauce - yum! We sat outside and enjoyed the chill vibe and service was top notch as well.More infoPalmaPrice: Moderate• Asian• Downtown Phoenix•4.5
- AAnthonyLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time here, great experience. Had a cool ambiance and the design and layout are very unique. We didn’t know when we made the reservation but we were there for the last 15 minutes of happy hour. We ordered 3 items off the happy hour and 1 off the regular appetizers menu. I had looked at the menu and planned on ordering a meal but sharing 4 appetizers with my girlfriend ended up working out perfectly. Had the short rib tacos. Ceviche and quac from the happy hour menu and then the meatballs from the regular appetizers. Everything tasted amazing! Will definitely go back because I want to try the main dishes and the dessert options too, we were too full to try them this time.More infoCarcaraPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown Phoenix•4.5
- TKT7K7GVIPCalgary / Southern Alberta •6 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoGeneral consensus from the party were outstanding. Appetizers were next level which included the bone marrow, bluefin tartare and the king crab stuff oysters. It really set the tone for the rest of the mains. Service was great from the staff and kept the tables clear and drinks full. The only exception to the meal was some of the mains. Over cooked and undercooked steaks that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Coming from a place where we have world class steak, the inconstancy we experienced was disappointing given the prices charged and what precluded this portion of the meal which many raves about. Overall pleasure and happy to recommend.More infoWren & WolfPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown Phoenix•4.7
