    The host and our waiter were very accommodating to us. From our seating request to inquiring about menu items and food allergies. It was for a special occasion, and the experience added to our celebration.

    We had a 7:15 reservation and weren’t seated until after 7:40. The host seemed confused, offered no explanation, and just told us to wait at the bar. No apology, no effort to make it right, and when we asked about comping our drinks, the staff seemed annoyed. Service was chaotic: food runners dropped plates with no interaction, our waiter avoided eye contact, and replaced our plates before the steak arrived but didn’t bring new silverware, leaving us to eat off dirty ones. No leadership, no hospitality. A total mess from host to manager. I wish I could directly tip the chef; the food itself was amazing. But I won’t be back.

    The food and service was excellent. I have Celiac, a gluten allergy, and the restaurant was super accommodating in the preparation of my food. A waiter brought me a separate menu where he had marked items that contained gluten, and marked other dishes that could be prepared without gluten. I ordered a delicious salad, and chicken skewers. Both delicious. The inside is very pretty and has a very nice bar. The rest of my party had a variety of shared dishes and enjoyed all.

    We had such a wonderful time! The service was phenomenal, and the food/meat was cooked to perfection. A little on the pricier side but worth it.

    Everything we ate was good. Ordered the ribeye and the asada mixto. I would recommend ordering the mixto as you get to try a little of everything. We also ordered the ceviche which was honestly my favorite dish of the night. Came here for my first year anniversary but didn’t get anything like a dessert which was a little disappointing but overall enjoyed dining here.

    Nice vibes inside. Low lighting made the place feel more intimate. Staff were friendly but service was slow. Food tasted good but a little overpriced for the portion size. Got the lager on tap/keg, wife got the Pinot for drinks, very good. For dinner, we each got the vacio and papas/broccolini. Meat was tasty but we ordered medium well temp to be on the safe side but medium would have been perfect. Sides were good but small. Steaks came with chimichurri and slice of grilled French bread, both tasty. Would probably come back though.
