    Our conversation through the evening was our astonishment of how poor the service was. We book this restaurant looking forward to trying a new Michelin recommendation and left questioning the standards of the guide.

    Food and service were excellent; interesting sauces and beautiful dishes visually. The only negative was the noise level. It was so loud it was hard to even understand the waiter.

    Food was great. The peppers, hamachi tiradito and pork were all very good as were the corn and Brussels. The bone marrow was the only thing I wasn’t overly impressed with. Cool space, definitely worth checking out.

    Our waiter was very helpful navigating the menu. My wife had a Chica de Humo margarita, which had a unique smoky bacon flavor. It was great. The red snapper ceviche was fantastic, and we split the filet with black mole sauce. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary, and they made it very special for us.

    Carlos our server was amazing. The ceviche was phenomenal. The mole steak was not great. The mole tasted a touch burned, it felt like artificial smoke was overwhelming what should have been a great meal.
