   Everything about this experience was great. Loved the Sangria, with its’ subtle spices and rich fruitiness. We ordered the Tuna Crudo, butternut squash dish, arugula salad and Filet Mignon. Each was delicious and so nicely seasoned. Desert of mango sorbet came with caramel drizzle that added the perfect compliment to cap off the meal.

   I thought I made standard reservations but was seated in the bar at a high top. After ordering cocktails and a few apps to start, the hostess came over to inform us that due to the volume of reservations that we would be limited to 90 minutes. We ended up not ordering much more because space on table was limited and we now had a time restriction. The food we had was good, but due to the service and seating we left after apps and drinks and went somewhere else. At the time we left there were empty tables.

   I ordered the ribeye tacos and my friend ordered the salmon. It was very nice outside so we ate in their front patio on Lake street which with bikes riding through can get hectic. The chef prepared a few small loaded Nachos which are not on the menu and so delicious we asked if we could order a small plate of them which was accommodated and killed my appetite so I didn’t eat a lot of my food and have leftovers! The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

   Unusual foods made it a memorial experience. My wife loved the bone marrow dish. Unusual shrimp piza. A very original squash dish. These are all shared dishes that all 4 members of my party enjoyed.

   Great food experience. Relaxed atmosphere with great tasting food with upper scale flare. Servers are knowledgeable and will provide suggestions that proved to be amazing. Definitely a return visit.

   Hoja Santa is a favorite for my family. We have become veggie lovers and so our go to is the Hoja Santa salad, the Calabaza and now the Mexican Street Corn. (We also recommend the fish tacos) Our little one enjoys the pizza each time. For dessert the Nieve Frito is a must. Each time we've enjoyed the background music, service and the scent of wooden-fire food.

    I thought the food and service was very good, but a bit pricey. I would definitely visit again.
