Went to this cozy spot for dinner with my husband tonight and we left so impressed. Everything was on point from start to finish. The staff was super attentive, the octopus and lobster ceviche were amazing, and the lamb chops were perfect. But the star of the night was the sea bass — honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for a nice night out or even a regular dinner.

There is a reason this place is always packed!!! We were visiting family and they took us to this gem. Absolutely loved my dinner: Chilean sea bass. Presentation, taste, balance, I would have licked the plate clean if I had bad manners 😂. The server helped with all of our choices for dinner and appies, and they didn’t steer us wrong. The tuna on fried rice appetizer was my fav but all were yummy. Highly recommend!! And extra win, it’s BYOB so you can bring your fav wines! Advice: Go hungry!

Everything from beginning to end was perfection. Hard to find anything to bicker about. We had the crab and artichoke, steak tartare, sea bass, lamb and creme brulee. All the dishes were delightful. I would describe it as Mediterranean/ Asian fusion. We are more old school, and would like to see tablecloths, but that definitely is not a deal breaker. The service and food will have us as repeat customers.
