    This was our second time dinning here and we originally came back for the burger & Brussels sprouts but when we got there we found out the burgers were sold out so we were bummed about it, BUT if your a read meat eater I highly suggest those braised wagyu tacos 3 good size tacos come with that order and they melted in our mouth with the perfect kick of spice, definitely was worth ordering, staff was patient and cocktails were amazing both visits!
