    We tried the tasting menu. Everyone should try the tasting menu. The food was excellent, with great portions and a good price. I am so happy to have found this restaurant since we live at the Beach. We'll definitely be back and will bring friends (and will spread the word about how good it is).

    Amazing food, great service and the ambiance was good for a Tuesday evening. Appetizers were excellent, the tacos are a must try. A little wet but worth the trip to wash you hands right after. The short rib was to die for. The meat had a nice crust on the outside all while encasing the softest most delicious meat imaginable. Will be returning to try their brunch service soon.

    The garden was beautiful, and the service from Catalina was amazing. Food was good but with the beer parings it gets better. The only bad thing was the hostess that was rude, even though I made a reservation a month ago, she was telling to check on my empty table when they get the chairs otherwise other people will get it, so I had to be standing next to a table next to the stage until they got the chairs. Catalina was so nice and she was making sure nobody will take the table, and then her service was what made the difference.

    The food was overall good, the ambience was nice. Our issue was with the service, our waitress was so busy flirting with the guy at a table that we never received the waters we asked for when we were sat. The place was pretty empty, but she just kept hovering over that one guy, well after his party was gone. The drinks, the food all brought out, we reminded her about the waters but she would say yes and then go talk to the guy at the table. She didn’t check on us for nearly 30 mins after the food arrived,By which time we’re needed to go Boxes, which she never brought. The busser came to clear the table and we asked him again and he returned with them. If you are going to add 20% auto gratuity at least make sure the service is there.
