    I’ve been there five times now and I love the casual elegance of the food and the service. Smart flavorful Baja seafood dishes, including shrimp, octopus, salmon and mahi mahi are all good. I love the spicy Caesar salad with shrimp and the elote soup. Every dish has been fresh and satisfying. I never get in a menu rut because I’m eager and confident to try another item for the first time!

    This was a new restaurant for all of us & we were all anxious to come back soon. Everything was delicious begining with prickly pear margaritas which went down way too easy! Two of us had sopa de elote which was not the corn chowder we expected, but delicious. Wish I had recipe! Three of us shrimp tacos which were also tasty down to the blue corn tortillas & mango salsa. 3 tacos on platesI had salmon which was substantial serving & mouthwatering! I will definitely have that again. Not noisy as was a rainy evening & not many people. I encourage them to put a grab bar in bathrooms.

    5 family members celebrated my husband’s birthday lunch today. Darling restaurant and very friendly staff. Our server, Madison, made the lunch special, recommended items and took great care of us. She recognized my son and his girlfriend from a dinner they shared a few weeks ago. We ordered multiple shared plates: Aquachiles, Ceviche, and Clam Chowder. My daughter ordered a mock Strawberry Margarita. Three of us ordered the delicious Surf & Turf Torta, recommended by our server. Yummmm. It was big so I brought the other half home. My daughter ordered the shrimp tacos. My son’s girlfriend ordered the Citrus Glazed Salmon with broccolini and potatoes. She had eaten this meal before and loved it so much she ordered it again. Three of us ordered the Buttercake with Pistachio gelato. My husband’s cake arrived with a birthday Sparkler!! Our son ordered the Dulce Le Leche with Carmel Pearls. We enjoyed the music which was just the perfect volume for us to enjoy our conversations. We will definitely be repeat customers. Next time, we plan to enjoy their broader dinner menu. Highly recommended for a relaxing vibe with an attentive staff!!

    I really enjoyed it. But, was surprised after spending $165 for two people for dinner, there wasn’t a complimentary dessert option for a birthday. There were very few people in the restaurant

    Our server Maddie was outstanding with her attentiveness and friendly service. The coconut mojito and prickly pear margarita were absolute decadent. I would’ve had another cocktail if I wasn’t watching the prices and saw how expensive the food was. The Cesar salad was fresh, delicious, and large enough to split between two people. On the contrary, the fish and shrimp taco entrees were a bit expensive for just three small portions. Although they were flavorful, both the mahi mahi and shrimp were too dry and seemed overcooked. Nothing really appealed to me on the dessert menu. I was hoping to see something creative with churros, flan or prickly pear. Decor is gorgeous, bathrooms were clean, the ambience overall was pleasant.
