    Incredible service and the ambience is hard to beat. I was lucky enough to get seated in the covered outdoor area and the scenery was just fantastic, as for the food it was very good and we could not get enough of the various bread dips.

    We went here for V-Day and it was really busy, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated even though we were running 10 minutes late... with that being said our overall experience was great! The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly! My wife liked the Oysters and the Snapper. This place is great for an event or special occasion but is definitely a femine atmosphere.

    I hope this place stays around longer than el teimpo , Ninfas , Lupe’s etc. this place is pure perfection. I have been 3xs already. Blanco sangria is my favorite ! The margaritas are amazing. My favorite appetizer is the arepas. We’ve had a few plates. All so yummy. I mean last night we had salads. I’m convinced no one can do a tasty salad like Mexican sugar. Everyone do yourself a favor and try this place.
