The ambience was great, food was delicious. Service was Ok. Our waitress asked us if we wanted our burrito wet or dry. We asked her if she can explain what it looks like as a wet burrito. She said we can get either green or red salsa which she is on the top. We decided to get a burrito, but asked for green and red salsa on the side. when we got the bill we noticed that there was a $3.50 fee for each salsa, green and red (probably approximately less than 1/4 of a cup. I wish I would’ve known, for $7.00. I could’ve bought an entire jar from Costco’s. Don’t order the salsa before asking additional. That was disappointing.

This was, without a doubt, one of the top 5 dining experiences of my life; I told the waiter it was the USA's answer to Noma. Unbelievably creative, visually stunning, absolutely delicious food with exquisite service; it should be on everyone's bucket list.
