    This restaurant definitely lives up to hype!! The food, atmospher and service were stellar!! If I had to give a downside, the pricing could be a bit more transparent and jalapenos are a in quite a few menu items If you don't like heat, your choices will be limited. However, the jalapeno dishes are not brutally spicy. I'm not a spice girl (pun intended) but heat was tolerable. These are minor downsides. This place is a must visit!! Kudos!

    We’ve been to Huncho House a couple times and wanted to visit 1123. I love both, but the full service bar at 1123 is an added bonus. Sushi lovers would love this place. I had the fish and grints and the left overs are delic still! The chocolate cake was for dessert, delic as well. I’m moving out the area but when in town will return! Note, I am vegetarian, occasionally pescatarian when I eat out, no vegan options, but I came also for the amazing ambiance. Our waitress was Faith, loved her personality and she allowed me to hold some items to the side and customize my food a little. I didn’t ask for much. The flavors was on point!
