    This is a truly weird place and it is magnificent! Vaudeville-style entertainment, wall-to-wall and ceiling projections and a vibe that is nowhere else to be found. Service is sold. Drinks are about $15 each and it’s a blast.

    My husband and I had an amazing time here! We arrived around 8pm, and while most tables were taken, the space is a bit cozy, so I highly recommend making a reservation. The menu is curated by Michelin-starred chef Esteban Lluis, and his flavors and presentation are top-notch. We kicked things off by sharing the guacamole and bone marrow and beef tartare. Then, we each had tortilla soup and shared a plate of “Tacos de Nada,” which was super filling with six rolled tacos. We had already ordered the Sinaloan-style chicken and a Wagyu burger with truffle fries. The chicken was massive and perfect for sharing, and the fries were delicious. The burger didn’t disappoint either! For dessert, we followed the waiter’s suggestion and tried the pineapple dessert, which I absolutely loved! It’s like the creamy part of a crème brûlée surrounded by candied pineapple—sweet, tangy, and the perfect way to wrap up the meal. As for drinks, my husband raved about the Mango #5. I was unsure about what I wanted, so the bartender made me a special Baileys drink that tasted just like a chocolate-covered strawberry—so good! Later in the evening, the place transitions into a nightclub, which sounds like a blast, but we were too full to even move, so we decided to save that for another time. The manager checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect, and I learned they offer chilaquiles at brunch. Definitely on our list for next time! Since this place is still fairly new, it's a good idea to let them know if you need anything. We had no issues, but based on other reviews, they’re working through a few growing pains.

    Me and a friend stopped in and sat at the bar. We were greeted right away. All the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Food was amazing and didn’t take too long. Ambiance was perfect too, not too dark or bright. Shout out to Jad the supervisor for checking in on us and making sure our experience was a positive one. Will definitely be back!
