    Food is excellent, service is hit or miss at the tables. You will get better service sitting at the bar.

    Excellent all around! Expect a specialized menu with signature choices. We enjoyed ceviche, queso fundido, snapper, and skirt steak. All their cocktails can be prepared alcohol-free for those abstaining. Treat yourself to this gem!

    My first visit and I hope to return. We enjoyed our server’s detailed explanations of the cocktails, and his enthusiasm for the menu. The vibe was upbeat, cheerful, creating an ambiance for a fun evening.

    Fantastic mexican and seafood fusion with delicious specials! We had the barria dumplings and the large whole fish and both were melt in your mouth! Our server was outgoing and terrific at sharing the knowledge of the menu since it was our first time! Drinks were also very good! It’s a small intimate place so reservations are a must! We will be going back! Cheers and thank you Espiritu and staff!

    We had a reservation at the bar. The young lady behind the bar had to be flagged down to get a drink, to order our food and there’s only a few seats at the bar. The other bartender seemed to be focusing on cocktails for the restaurant which was fine, the female bartender really needs to Make eye contact with her customers to get what they need without having to be flagged down every single time I wouldn’t sit at the bar ever again, but I will try the restaurant another time.

    Food was so flavorful and delicious. Only complaint is everything was lukewarm at best. Dumplings were cold throughout. I would still come back. Service was great!
