If you are looking for a unique night out, this is the place. The cocktails are creative. The steaks are awesome. The service is impeccable. Try the “new fashion” cocktail and the tomahawk steak - you won’t be disappointed!!

Though the food is pricey, it is definitely worth every penny. There is a decent wine selection, including a few from Mexico & a very nice cocktail/liquor options. Our waiter, Orlando was excellent in both care & attentiveness and had great recommendations. I will definitely request him on future occasions.

Ordered lobster enchiladas there were lobster shell in the enchiladas. Food was not worth the price

Miguel the bartender is the best!!! The food is amazing. Best steak ever!!! Forget going to the restaurants that start with an F ends with g’s and McM ends with cks and all of those other places. THIS is the place to eat amazing steaks. The way the food is prepared as well is beyond words. The place is beautiful. This should be a nightclub plus THE SPOT for everything. Amazing food, great attentive staff and yummy food.

First and definitely not the last time. The ambience was spot on. Not too loud nor too quiet. The food was superb, our group had the Pulpo, Rib Eye Chicharrí³n for Appetizers and they did not disappoint. Main course was out of this world. Pescado Zariandado, Pollo Estofado Pork Tomahawk, Lobster Enchilada and the Carnitas Plate. Specialty drinks as well, hats off to the bartender. But what put this place over the top was the manager and our server Victor. We showed up and our reservation was lost, normally I’d be a little upset, but the Manager stepped in, asked for 10 minutes and we were seated promptly. Didn’t get his name, but that is the Epitome of a front house Manager. Victor, let me tell you, he was on point with all the dishes, seasoning, flavors and the ability to pair the dishes to the foods that were ordered. And a funny SOB that just loves his career.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has gone down since the pandemic. I had a ribeye and at best it was choice. The guacamole was just average and the creamed corn was good. Their desserts are small and not worth the money. Probably not going back.

Good food and drinks

We had my husband birthday dinner, I was trying to book for 14 people on open table I couldn’t and I tried calling during the day I never got an answer so it was 8 of us. Drinks are really good and food was excellent.

Everyone was very hospitable and attentive!! Food was amazing and we were all happy with our delicious cocktails.

Another excellent meal. This was even better the second time. Appetizers of fish ceviche, shrimp aguachile, queso condido, ahi tostada, and rib steak chicharron were all delicious. Even the 3 dipping sauces were excellent. Entrees of tomahawk pork chop, surf and turf, lobster enchiladas and ribeye steak were all cooked to perfection. The only thing we weren’t crazy about was the mayo on the street corn. Desserts of sorbet, flan and panna cotta provided the perfect ending to a great meal. Superb service. Highly recommend.
