Our menu and theme of the restaurant is inspired by taking classics and adding a modern flare. We renovated a classic American building with contemporary design inside. The menu is taken from classic recipes, sourced locally and given a twist. The items will be familiar yet distinct. You will find presentation to be clean and simple. Our beverage program is an experience in itself. Our historic bar will transport you back in time, and our bartenders will guide you on a journey of crafted cocktails, wines and draft beer.

    The food was AMAZING. So flavorful and just the right amount. Our sever Lila was sweet and gave us just enough attention yet was never intrusive. We usually go here for special occasions but I can’t wait for one to go back

    We were there on a Friday night — it was hopping! The food was very good and very fresh-tasting. They took awhile to bring my entree out after a everyone else had been served (and apologized for it), but other than that it was a perfect evening. I plan to make this my new go-to Mexican restaurant!

    We enjoyed a absolutely delicious meal, This Restaurant has an excellent Menu, an outstanding cocktail menu, and great ambiance. We went on a Thursday evening and had very good service, however from what I have heard you may need to allow extra time for service on Friday and Saturday nights when they are busy. I would say the food is worth any lack of fast service My advice is to immediately order a cocktail or glass of wine and an appetizer so if they are very busy when you order your meal you can sit back an enjoy your time there. We loved their choice of music and everyone was very friendly. We WILL go back.

    Honestly my wife and I loved it. Such a friendly staff. The waiter forgot our sodas but was super apologetic and it really wasn't a big deal. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend. The owners are wonderful and we will definitely go back!
