    Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

    Our server was the absolute best. She is so friendly, personal, and has a great sense of humor! She was also extremely caring and attentive to our every request and question. I sincerely hope to have her as my server the next time I visit, which cannot be soon enough! The food was excellent, including great salads, pasta, and osso bucco. This was my first time seeing Kopke white port outside of Portugal, and there was a beautiful selection of wines.
