You wouldn’t know that if it’s your first time until the server tells you. Outrageously expensive for the portion. And there is nothing charred about the Hamachi & Charred Avocado that I was really looking forward to. In general, the food tasted great. But it’s incredibly overpriced.

However they have set up some tables inside the shopping center hallway that they call outside as if it were same as the patio inside the restaurant. This is a totally different “ambiance” and has more of a coffee shop feel so ask not to be seated there or should be specified as a less ABA “experience”
