    Definitely enjoyed all the food here (an app, two ceviches, two tacos, carne asada, bass). All amazing, fresh, flavorful. Sitting at the chef’s table was a great choice. Staff was wonderful! Avocado margarita was lovely. I only say noise level was moderate because it was busy which is good!

    What a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner. Outstanding service by Will who was very helpful in recommending creative cocktails and wine, and all the servers who delivered piping hot dishes to our table. The meal was excellent from the bread selection, both savory and sweet, through the four course fixe prix menu. We sat in the cozy and welcoming dining area where we could watch the chefs creating the dishes and we loved it. Lovely night. We will definitely be returning to this gem.
