Wren, a vibrant cocktail bar & restaurant, is a fun place due to its unique menu items, lively atmosphere, and great service.

The food is delicious, the drinks are beautifully prepared, and the ambiance is inviting. It's also a great place for groups and solo dates, making it a versatile and fun spot.

Had an AMAZING dining experience on a Friday night. From the menu selections, to quality of the ingredients, I couldn’t have made a better choice for dinner. Fast and super friendly service, strong drinks and great portion sizing - looking forward to returning soon! Pro tip: Dine on Friday or Saturday so you can experience the sushi. SO GOOD.

We had a great meal (fajitas!) and great drinks (Hibiscus Margaritas!) for our night out with old team mates. The ambience is perfect and service was on point. This was my 5th time at Ometeo and I’m looking forward to returning soon.

We loved our dinner at Nue! The food was delicious and fresh. We got the family style new years dinner menu and it was perfect. The manager and waitstaff were so kind and friendly— really added to the experience. There is also a fun dice game for new years and my friends won a prize! All in all the experience felt great and we will definitely be back.
