    We had an amazing dinner on Tuesday evening. They have a great selection of tequila. The wine selection is a bit pricey, we had a nice bottle for about $85. For an appetizer we had the Hamachi, which I enjoyed but my husband was not really fond of. We also had the Brussel Sprouts and Sopes as an appetizer to share for the table. They were both excellent. The Brussel Sprouts had jalapenos, which gave them a nice kick. The entrees are very large, next time I think we will share. I had the whole roasted fish, which was amazing. Lots of garlic and the sauce was very flavorful. They debone the fish and it was wonderful with the homemade tortillas. My husband had the short rib, which was also delicious. It was very tender and flavorful. Our guests had the carne asada and the El Rey and both were very pleased. We shared the sweet potatoes and corn as sides. I really loved the sweet potatoes. Our service was great, even on a busy night and the manager did come by to check on us at one point. They are very conscious of food allergies, which I greatly appreciate. The entire menu is gluten free! A great place for dinner, before a show at ACL. Reservations required as they are very busy.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Edge Rooftop Bar, and it was an incredible experience! The views from the rooftop are absolutely stunning, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. The ambiance is modern and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our visit. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the menu had a great selection of options to suit all tastes. The food was equally impressive – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend Edge Rooftop Bar to anyone looking for a memorable rooftop experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
