    Funky venue with responsive staff and beautiful food. Our wagyu was replaced when the first serving was overcooked - the second effort was delicious. Fairly priced for the quality.

    Got the Birthday booth we wanted after a short wait. Hadn't been here in a while since we relocated, but it was well worth the drive. We both enjoyed the seared ahi date night upgrade and shared a side of brussel sprouts and a bottle of chard. RJ took good care of us... Remembered why it was a fave celebratory spot for so long :)

    Great little high end restaurant. Conveniently located in downtown Escondido although currently the road is under construction. No noise in the evening, however. Nicely decorated for ambiance. The staff is so friendly and nice. Casey was our waiter. Excellent service. The food, ( this was a pre-designed meal for Valentine’s Day) was outstanding. It came out in 6 courses, I think. Steak and lobster was very good as the main course. Cocktails were great! It was a bit pricey but other than that, a great experience.
