    Overall, we had a fantastic experience in our group of 6 a nd would recommend a visit. Everything was delicious that our group tried. Among the favorites were the bahn mi meatballs (though small and few), eggplant bulgogi, lobster croquettes, veal chop, bucatini, potato puree, Brussels sprouts, broccolini. Our server and entire staff were great, friendly, and attentive. Choosing your own steak knife seemed a little pretentious. The room noise level did get a little loud, so it became difficult to hear across a large table despite being in a back corner.

    We found this place searching Yelp and loved the Tapas concept. Once we arrived, I noticed Prime Rib was on the menu, one of my favs! So we ordered the Artichoke Btms, Shrimp Ceviche, and the Prime Rib. Everything was a wow / with this being one of the best Prime Rib’s I’ve tasted. The service was great and the prices reasonable. Highly recommended!

    An excellent dining experience. My wife and I were very happy to find this gem in downtown Escondido. Chef Lisa is doing it right. The quality of food is excellent. The plating is artistic. The staff was very accommodating the from moment you walk through the door to the last bite. Last but not least, they are farm to table supporting local!

    Great place to watch sports for sure. Cocktails and beer selection is fantastic! We had crab cakes for an appetizer, outstanding. The shrimp and grits is very authentic New Orleans style. Great burger too. We are adding this to our rotation.
