It was alright, I ordered the rigatoni with clams and the server told me they were canned clams:/ The pasta was undercooked as well. I did enjoy the calamari however. We didn’t get the best service and what we paid was way too overpriced for quality.

Very cool vibe! Amazing food and service! I was running late and almost left without my ice crème when my waiter put it in a cup for me before I left! Will come again :)

Great overall. They ran out of pasta. But other dishes we got were pretty good. Also love their passion fruit cocktail. Good place for a couple of drinks and relax.

Everything about this place is impressive, from the food, to the decor, to the service. Everything we ordered was exceptional. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. The food is unique and *SO* delicious! This is a must try, and I can’t wait to go back!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! It’s perfect for date night and the menu is incredible! They have specials throughout the week, if you’re looking to save a little money. Would highly recommend a reservation if you’re going on the weekend!

Off the charts. If you love food and incredible hospitality you must check this spot out. Wow❗️ Brittany was amazing. She red our table perfectly. She answered every question we had and was happy to customize our requests. The food speaks for itself. Just perfect. Truly a unique afternoon. We stumbled upon this after a morning at the beach. A hidden gem you must try.

Okay I'm not a hater but this just wasn't my vibe. The staff was amazing. We made a reservation and I definitely recommend because it is small inside. I ordered the sangria and it was a tad underwhelming. I wish i would have gotten a cocktail for the price i paid. If I were to recommend one thing it would be the CORN NUTS. I'd 100% go back just for those. They were so good I got an order to go. The rest of the food was just eh.Not my style but I urge everyone to try it once. The menu has a variety and you might find something you like. Cute for date night but not if you're super hungry and are expecting large portions

We happened on this place accidentally during a down pour and couldn't have been happier with the finding! The atmosphere is a chill boho vibe perfect for relaxing in and staff are friendly and welcoming! Service was top notch and able to recommend different foods. We love tapas and trying as much as we can before getting too full. We'll definitely be frequenting here more often and work through the whole menu!

Quite an outstanding place. I have a few tweaks I would make to the menu though generally the quality of food, level of service, and portion / plating are spot on. This was precisely what we were hoping for in a (big) dinner before drinks at the Veil.Snapshots / highlights:- the tasting platter for tapas was good, though I wasn’t exceptionally drawn to anything beyond the carrots. The carrots were perfectly cooked.- the scallop ceviche was a new dish for tonight. It was outstanding, though I’d recommend slicing the scallops thin. Easier to spread into the provided crostini, and a more interesting preparation than leaving them whole.- shrimp bucatini was outstanding. Could use a touch of lemon I think. A bit brighter, or possibly more seafood in flavor. Either may do the trick.- the rigatoni with sausage and tomato was standout - but portion could be a tad smaller. I’d love a kick of smokiness but simple and classic (though texturally perfect) may also be exactly what is needed in this case. The sausage was very lean and lacked boing. Quite a rarity - and much appreciated.- the black sesame ice cream is incredibly well balanced. Those hoping for sweet may despise it - but it’s an delicately flavored ice cream I would travel far for alone.- The goat cheese ice cream was also quite good.- the avocado cheesecake is very dramatic. This is the chocolate ball in the pictures. The chocolate did overtake the flavors of the cheesecake - I would recommend swapping out the interior with something better suited to the chocolate. Maybe a delicate chocolate mousse with crisp layers? The cheesecake element ought to have been more tart, too.- the French toast was more like a bread pudding. It’s also awesome.- the biggest letdown of the night was that the crème brûlée was too thin. Thankfully the shell was perfect and the flavor was spot on - can’t say the same for this dish at Esoteric last night. 2/3 of this dish was great. The kitchen just needs to improve the texture of the crème and they’re golden.Crudo Nudo is fantastic. Worth a trip, and especially worth visiting for a meal (or many) if you live in the area. Keep up the good work - and thanks for the great night :)

Easily one of the best meals I have ever had. Food was world-class and the service was phenomenal. Atmosphere was inviting . Look forward to going back for another great meal.
