Yet again, consistently outstanding service, delicious food and a great ambiance. Our waiter Alfredo Diaz was awesome! The fantastic food and great service is what keeps our family returning. Keep up the great customer service. A rare dining experience in today’s restaurant environment. Thank you

The food was impeccable. Delicious. Creative. Artisan. These folks are good at what they do! The service was also top-notch! We had atleast 5 different people interact with us. Our main server, the hostess, a couple of others that refilled drinks and brought food to the table. We never had to ask for anything because we were offered to before we had a chance. They anticipated our requests. One oddity was that we had asked for about 3 slices of pizza to be packaged up to take home. The server took the pizza with the intention to do it and we never saw it again. However, we were stuffed by the time we left and didn't even realize it until we were at the car. So we just left it. We reasoned it was probably gone anyway. We didn't want to give the server a hard time by going back inside to demand 3 leftover slices of pizza. They all did such a great job even with this mishap. No harm. No foul.

I hope this place stays around longer than el teimpo , Ninfas , Lupe’s etc. this place is pure perfection. I have been 3xs already. Blanco sangria is my favorite ! The margaritas are amazing. My favorite appetizer is the arepas. We’ve had a few plates. All so yummy. I mean last night we had salads. I’m convinced no one can do a tasty salad like Mexican sugar. Everyone do yourself a favor and try this place.

What a delightful meal! There were four of us, and we ordered an assortment of delicious items including the fresh hearts of palm salad, squash with prosciutto, mussel toast, frito misto, leeks vinaigrette, Cresta di Gallo (mushroom pasta) and Ricotta gnocchi. GM Peter and our server Ryan took great care of us, assuring a lovely evening.
