    Our server Geoff was Amazing! Immediately after seating me as I was waiting for my guest he let us know if we needed anything we could ask another server to assist. He was very attentive and one of the best servers I’ve had! My experience before wasn’t so great the last time I went, but I’ll be asking for him every time! Definitely coming back…thanks for making my experience one of the best ones I’ve had Geoff! They definitely need more servers like you!!!!

    Loreto was amazing. Came here for my partner's birthday and we'll definitely return with friends soon. We ordered a toro sashimi, a ceviche, croquetas and a pasta and it was all above and beyond delicious, as were the cocktails. Service was great and so was the ambiance. Good prices for the quality of experience, too.
