O S This is a quiet breakfast house. Very neat and clean, the bathroom has an oddly placed mirror that made an impression. The bad; the coffee was on the lower side of average and my overeasy eggs felt undercooked. My meal however, asada country breakfast was a pleasant surprise. They got what many get wrong; beans and tortillas. I got three small flour tortillas heated to perfection. The 3 chips they stabbed into the beans between queso fresco were delightful, so good I was robbed of two of them. The staff were mostly friendly, hostess was a gem. Asada strips were evenly grilled and not excessive fatty, it was a nice tenderish piece of solid meat. I got a side of sausage links and those were amazing.

Shelley McIntosh Love this restaurant! The menu has changed, and there aren’t as many appetizer options as before. We came for a Friday night dinner and were seated in the middle of the dining area with no one around us—until two large tables of kids arrived. Not exactly the relaxing evening we were hoping for, but the food was delicious as always!

Maria So so so good. Everything we had was phenomenal, they do have some things that rotate on the menu so if there’s something you want to try, I recommend going for it. Had no reservations, walked in around 5pm on a Saturday, were very lucky to get seated at the bar (3 of us). Service was outstanding, one of the dishes was delayed and they gave us complimentary meatballs. I had the lamb Ragu - amazing. Others had the seafood pasta that was also very good, and the bucatini.

Jay Wu Personable staff, kind and funny. Quick service with top notch food and flavors. Inside is larger than expected, very good vibes mixture of modern and chill. Nice restrooms too. Great thing is that the menu is not so big, and every item I’m sure is delicious. Love that they have a raw bar and it’s fresh! Steak was cooked perfectly and flavorful. Roasted corn was sweet spicy and creamy. A little dark at night but it can be romantic

Randy McAtee Yesterday we stopped in here for lunch and seeinz that its lent we ordered the fish and chips and a calamari appetizer. We were not disappointed. The service was great and the food was perfectly cooked. We washed it down with a couple of pints of beer and it was so damn satisfyiing that I really look forward to going there again and ordering the exact same meal. Great ambiance and clean restrooms. You can tell a lot about an eating establishment by the way they maintain their restrooms, and their restrooms are nice, Nothing but positive vibes here.

Geosan This place was ok. The appetizers were actually pretty good. If you don’t get em during happy hour, you pay a lot more. The drinks were delicious (when they finally come) only one bartender and takes a long time to get service. the beer selection on draft is very limited. I might go back, but have to be for some special occasion.

Vanessa Rodriguez Wonderful. Food was yummy and the service was second to none. Sat down and literally immediately bread, water, complimentary starter n waitress was giving us the specials rundown. Requested the pastry chefs recommendation for dessert and... well... see the pictures, best part of the night!
