    The restaurant was amazing. The food was great. Especially the appetizers. We had ceviche and foie gras. The foie gras was the best we ever had. We sat at the bar and the service was excellent even though the restaurant was very busy. The host was a little arrogant. We arrived early and he said they were booked except for the large tables and he wouldn’t seat two at a table for 4. Our reservation was for the bar, which was empty, so I asked why we couldn’t sit there. He responded, yes, any seat at the bar is fine. We sat at the end and ordered drinks. The host came over and rudely said we had to move because a regular customer was coming and she liked these seats. We didn’t mind moving but didn’t like his rude attitude.

    We ordered the Wagyu burger, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, we also ordered the poke bowl, which was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Both dishes met our expectations. The service was exceptional—the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. As for pricing, it was more than reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. The only downside was the condition of the bathrooms. They were unclean, with water and sand on the floor, and the toilet paper roll was wet laying on the floor, which took away from an otherwise excellent dining experience. I hope the management addresses this issue soon because it’s the one thing that would hold me back from giving a perfect review.
