Came here with a group of co-workers. I'm glad they suggested this place. I always wanted to visit after seeing the Groupon for their brunches. We came here for dinner right when they opened. We ordered some calamari, beef carpacio and arugula salad to start. Our main dishes took a while to come out but it was worth the wait because our pasta was delicious. The only con was that the lobster was a little overcooked and rubbery but the clams and mussels were excellent and so was the pasta. I would visit again.
I've driven past this place hundreds of times, finally decided to stop in, and I'm glad that I did. Everything was cooked to perfection, the octapus, scallops, ribeye, and branzino. They used quality ingredients, with well thought out flavors. The portions were bigger than expected. The service was good, and I loved the ambience. I will definitely be going back soon.
A surprising find. Overall very tasty with a few minor complaints (corn under the crab cake is effectively frozen corn, but the crab cake itself was delicious). Scallops had a bit of that metallic preservative flavor but the cook was good and sauce and risotto with it were lovely. Duck was fantastic, but they don't bring a steak knife with it and it's hard to cut with the butter knife. Zeppolis were good but not mind blowing. Staff was super attentive and the ambiance is really top notch. Our party also enjoyed many of the creative cocktails
I went here for brunch a couple of weeks ago. It is a nice little spot. Its a little more than your average pancakes. It is also a cool date night place. The parking lot is tiny so you will be subjected to street parking. We came on an early Sunday afternoon so parking was easy. Service was A-1. We ordered primarily from the brunch menu but I would return for the oysters and the spicy paloma alone. The eggs benedict with smoke salmon was pretty good but I didn't like the cerviche. I will definitely return soon.
Celebrated a friend's birthday and we all loved the food it was delicious! I highly recommend this place. The ambiance and decor is too cute and excellent for photos
This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. The wife and I were there for dinner once and went for brunch today. The band skillfully played jazz standards as we ate brunch. As we neared the end of our visit, they allowed me to play happy birthday and another song (I brought my own trumpet). We will definitely be back here again.
Come here after a day at SOJO. Great food, Great drinks. Awesome decor. Will def be back.
Amazing restaurant, great atmosphere and setting. Wonderful service. Truly delicious food prepared with skill attention and superb presentation. Mark up on the wine was a little high but a very good selection to suit different budgets. Would highly recommend and would visit again.
