The food was delicious, the cocktails were fun, colorful, and perfectly crafted, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—romantic for a date night yet lively enough for a fun girls’ night out. The menu offers a great variety, with enough options to accommodate dietary restrictions, making it a welcoming spot for everyone. The service was nothing short of stellar—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Highly recommend this spot for any occasion!

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
