    Fantastic mexican and seafood fusion with delicious specials! We had the barria dumplings and the large whole fish and both were melt in your mouth! Our server was outgoing and terrific at sharing the knowledge of the menu since it was our first time! Drinks were also very good! It’s a small intimate place so reservations are a must! We will be going back! Cheers and thank you Espiritu and staff!

    We had a reservation at the bar. The young lady behind the bar had to be flagged down to get a drink, to order our food and there’s only a few seats at the bar. The other bartender seemed to be focusing on cocktails for the restaurant which was fine, the female bartender really needs to Make eye contact with her customers to get what they need without having to be flagged down every single time I wouldn’t sit at the bar ever again, but I will try the restaurant another time.

    Food was so flavorful and delicious. Only complaint is everything was lukewarm at best. Dumplings were cold throughout. I would still come back. Service was great!

    Absolutely fabulous food, excellent service and wonderful cocktails. My friend and I ordered three appetizers to share and the portions were so large that we couldn’t finish them all. Our table was across from the bar and the noise level at times made it hard to maintain a conversation. In the future we will ask to be seated in the back area away from the bar, but we definitely plan on going back because the food was so good.
