Drinks were good but a bit overpriced. Fun place to eat. Music was slightly too loud—hard to hear others at table. I would recommend this place to others. Food was outstanding!!

It’s a little cramped inside, but you won’t find a better experience anywhere else in Mesa. The fried snapper was incredible and the queso fundido is bonkers good.

Husband and I came here for Date night. Place is very small. Reservations strongly recommended. We started with raw oyster. Their take on mignonette is a chili infused oil, Amazing! I saved the leftovers for the special, a beautiful ribeye steak cooked to perfection. We both had their signature old fashioned, absolutely delicious. Great place for a romantic dinner

Second time dining here and it doesn’t disappoint. Menus are ever changing and we decided to let the bartender craft our smoky and spicy boozy cocktails and started with the beef cheek dumplings. They were tender and perfectly seasoned. We did skirt steak and short ribs for entrees and our waitress brought small plates so we could share. Everything was cooked to perfection and exploding with flavor. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and people watching as we enjoyed our meal, the music, and great conversation

I literally had dreams about the birria dumplings. Everything had fantastic flavors. So many thoughtful combinations and just an excellent overall taste. The pineapple cocktail was so perfect to combine with the food as well.

Had a reservation for 7:30 and our table was ready for us. We Had the ceviche for an appetizer. I Thought it was vinegary coleslaw on a plate with hardly any seafood in it. Not good. I had the 56 dollar snapper, deep fried whole snapper and coleslaw again. Extra salty and no side to accompany it. Also, the table had a view of the kitchen and bathroom(pet peeve). Won’t return.
