The appetizers were great. However the short rib was too fatty and drowning in sauce. Lastly, the service was lacking. No one ever checked on us after we received each course or asked us for a second drink/cocktail.

Great spot! The Birria Dumplings and the Corn Salad were fantastic. We also ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, it was good, but lacked the wow factor. Wine and cocktail selection was fantastic.

Had several appetizers and portions were generous. Tasty too! Would order everything again so that says something! Service was so-so. Seemed a bit disorganized and therefore had to reiterate order to two different people. Valet guy very nice and working hard- but if you go during their busy time, it’s a bit messy- and you’ll have to wait.

Amazing food and wonderful service! We sampled a lot off the menu and did not have any item that was not delicious. The Dinasaur Short Rib melts in your mouth and is so full of flavor.

Food and service were fantastic. The portions were generous, so we split a dinner. Every plate we had was chipped . think the chipped plates were an attempt at rustic. Chipped plates can be unsanitary so they don’t have a place in fine dining - or any dining. The chairs were uncomfortable for me. Other than these small things, this is a GREAT restaurant.
