    The food was amazing and the service was awesome. Jenny, our wait staff member, was extremely attentive an engaged well with the group. Her backup team was awesome as well. The food was outstanding - great quality, taste and proportions. Their craft cocktails were excellent. Although they may charge for chips, they are more like mid-sized tortillas and are all homemade. They have several salsas depending on your spice tolerance as well. I cannot wait to go back and again, a big shout out to Jenny who made the experience perfect! Keep up the great work!

    Was looking for a place to have dinner before an event. Found this place and we had a great time. Plenty of space at the time we went so we sat at the bar. Bartender was super attentive and friendly. Drinks came out kick and they were delicious. We had all appetizers but everything had flavor. The octopus was our favorite. Would come again.
