    Fantastic food from start to finish. Definitely get the flank steak if you like heavily seasoned and super flavorful steak. The Ribeye was good as well, but the Flank Steak felt like a signature dish.

    Came on NY’s day for lunch. Food, ambience, and service were fantastic. There was an issue initially with the hostess getting our party seated even though we had a reservation. The hostess was not very receptive, reassuring, or service oriented it seemed. But the manager eventually got involved who was amazing and got us all situated. Norma was the sweetest. Would definitely come here again :)

    We started with the Happy Hour mules, rock shrimp, tacos, kale salad and then moved to the regular dinner menu scallops, sushi rolls and dessert. The service and ambience was great. Very friendly staff and the food was served quickly. We live downtown and will definitely return. Highly recommend the kale salad, Hokkaido scallops, Bezerk sushi roll and churro ice cream.

    We had the pleasure of dining here on Christmas Eve. It was a beautiful 4-course menu including an amuse Bouche, a choice between two salads, four entrees and two desserts. The service was absolutely on point! Great attention to detail and the server assistants were fabulous too. The food runner was lovely and explained each course. The food was absolutely delicious. By far our best meal in San Diego. Thank you all!
