Great service, such a beautiful restaurant and as always wonderful flavors and excellent value. I did not love the steak in my fajitas but they were still very good. My husband loved the seafood enchiladas. The Brussel sprouts are a must order, some of the best in the city.

Excellent experience overall! The food and cocktails were great (if you enjoy sour tastes, I can’t recommend the passion fruit Caipirinha enough) and the service exceptional. We experienced very little wait time and left both stuffed and very happy with our restaurant experience as first timers. Highly recommend.
