This review won't be able to do the restaurant and service justice, but here we go. We were treated with amazing service as soon as we arrived at the check-in stand with Michael, who led us to our table. Our server Will was absolutely incredible, and very knowledgeable on all the cocktails and wine. He recommended a few different drinks which were all extremely tasty. Will let us know the specials of the day and you could tell he knew the menus and ingredients. We ended up ordering the oysters of the day, shrimp cocktail, ahi tartare, tomato bisque, burrata, carrots and salmon dip which we shared family style. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, but it was worth every single bite! Chef Francisco came out and personally checked in with us to see how we were liking everything and he sent out a couple desserts which were so delicious! Do not sleep on the creme brûlée! We ended the night with some tasty champagne, I can't wait for my next visit!

Molten chocolate cake: it was really good Drinks: 1. Smooth flight: my favorite drink of the night, very unique 2. Spiced old fashioned: my husband’s favorite drink, the whiskey wasn’t over powering 3. Strawberry peppercorn gin & tonic: I am not a gin & tonic girl but I still really enjoyed it 4.

Went there today for lunch only my second time eating there and both times were awful. The first time we went they ran out of practically everything. They didn’t even have tortillas for their tacos and they ran out of sugar and nectar berry all they had was salt. Then this time, one of the bartender’s was eating behind the bar and when she came back to make drinks she didn’t wash her hands. The bartenders were not friendly or helpful at all and the food was awful. We won’t be returning we wasted a bunch of money and actually didn’t eat most of it because it was so awful. So we went to Torchy’s instead. Torchy’s is the top taco place for me.
