    Very attentive service, pleasant atmosphere. Love that people are asked to dress up a bit! Food was great. Cauliflower sharing plate was especially wonderful. Desserts are over the top & very generous. Will return.

    Let’s dive into my recent dining experience, starting with the dress code. It felt a bit overly strict to me. I appreciate a business casual vibe—or even full business attire—but it was odd that the dress code was communicated through both text and email, only to find many guests disregarding it when we arrived. So, what’s the deal? Is there a dress code or not? On a brighter note, the service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. Multiple staff members checked in on us, showcasing a true commitment to professionalism and care for our table. However, we were a bit underwhelmed by the appetizers. They looked impressive, but sadly, they lacked that punch of flavor we were hoping for—the ceviche had only a whisper of fish. But the main course turned things around! The scallops and filet were absolutely delicious, and we absolutely loved our dessert. One thing that caught us off guard was the music—it was quite loud, especially as the restaurant filled up. However, it did seem to get quieter as the crowd grew, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a vibrant atmosphere, and if I could’ve given it 4.5 stars, I absolutely would have. But since we’re limited to whole stars, I settled on a solid 4, primarily due to the appetizers and the volume level.

    The food was great. They a ridiculous policy not to seat you until all your guests arrive. Don’t understand the logic.

    I was skeptical about the food due to some reviews, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The food, service, and drinks were great. The salsas are great if you like spicy like me or less spicy like my wife. They have something for everyone. I would recommend and go back. Thank you for the great experience!

    The salad that I got had a avocado sticker and they removed it from the bill but overall food wasn’t good.
