We went for brunch. The steak and eggs, churro waffles with chicken, the French toast, and the pineapple coconut drinks are all family faves. We also get the fresh guacamole, street corn, and salsa with warm chips every time. Great food and service (thanks Alejandro!)

In a word, Exceptional!! From the deliciously hand-crafted martini's with the most amazing hand stuffed blue cheese olives (any place who serves them should take note, because there a lot of posers out there and it makes a huge difference in the martini). The professional and friendly service was outstanding and not rushed, which is important when you are out for a nice dining experience. We began our food journey with the appetizer special of eggplant rollatini which was superb and flavorful followed by perfectly prepared rack of lamb and salmon. We will definitely be back and you should mark this one down for your food journey. Great ambiance as well!!
