The food was outstanding The temperature was a little on the cold side. There were only two waiters for a fully booked restaurant on Christmas Day (understandably) and they did a yeoman's job.The entire staff was very attentive and gracious. Would definitely go back. The food was that good.

I took a shot in the dark choosing Pacifico for dinner before the show I was attending at Schubert. I brought my 86-year-old father, who can be resistant to fusion style food. We were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Staff, food, ambience, music . . . everything was wonderful. We were greeted by the manager (owner?) and had a lovely chat as well. I will definitely be going back in the future.

As a business you need to lower the music volume, it was really loud, no one can have a normal conversation. Play music according your clientele and have a sense of the music that its playing. The majority are families or people that not necessarily listen to Bad Bunny, Mike Towers or JBalvin. Mind you I love them. But its not the place to play that kind of music.. Ambience its good. Food its ok… No Parking.

Loved our meals. Had the ceviche and beet salad. I had the shrimp and scallop with lobster ravioli and my husband had the skirt steak and I had the passion fruit flan and churros. Everything was delicious.

The food was absolutely delicious - highly recommend the duck quesadilla and pork belly tacos as appetizers. The skirt steak and the chicken entrees were done to perfection. Our table was upstairs which is quite a bit quiescent than the main level. The fact that they validate parking for the Crown St garage is just the icing on the cake! Will definitely be returning soon.
