My husband ordered the wagyu filet mignon and lobster mac n cheese. He loved it along with the Tokyo Bootlegger that he ordered. I got the beet salad and mushroom main course (vegan). They were delicious. I’m happy that there is an intimate dinning experience with at least some vegan options for me. We can’t wait to come back! The staff was super nice and gave us great suggestions.

We were in the standard seating area. It wasn’t very busy for a Monday night but our server was the only one serving several tables. She was very responsive. The food was great. I had the Pescado tacos. Great flavor and good size portions. My son had the Octopus tacos. I had a bite and they were cooked perfectly. Great seasoning too. Of course, the margaritas were delicious
