Super cool and trippy. Basically Burning Man style restaurant plus some spaces to host events. Do not come here in nice shoes - the whole place is basically on sand/gravel road.

The food itself was great and very flavorful. The biggest issue was that we pre-purchased an “8 course meal” for Valentine’s Day, yet when we arrived were told it was 4 (3.5 if you count the one they put together). I even had to buy more food off the menu. Then they sell you on the ambiance thinking it’s a chef coursed meal and experience yet that’s not the case and when asking about the dish you couldn’t always get a detailed answer. Also worth mentioning my date and I were the only people in the restaurant for over 2 hours with 15+ staff working. They can choose how they want to do labor but it didn’t help the experience and was odd with everyone watching. Overall the food was great when we got it, I just would not classify the dinner as an “experience”, felt it was a bit of a bait and switch and much less than they advertised/ led me to expect for their “8 coursed meal” valentines dinner

Total Rip off. New Year’s Eve dinner paid $350 for mediocre food. I don’t know what they’re thinking charging so much. The short ribs were so salty. They were barely edible. There’s so much good food in town. I felt completely ripped off and sick about it after plus the drinks are really expensive and weak at that please please do not eat here just go and listen to the music but the food and the price they are robbing people for the quality that they give.

Amazing and one of a kind dining experience. Went there for dinner and loved it. Diverse menu with something for all palates. We loved the vegetable focused dishes so much we ordered them twice. Delightful flavors and everything tasted fresh. The service was friendly and outstanding. The restaurant is comfortable and it’s so fun to stroll around and explore the unique art installations on site. Thank you for an amazing evening.

We paid $345 for two people to eat “the experience”. The only way to make a reservation and gain entry (we were told by phone). We didn’t know what to expect but we were unpleasantly surprised to receive a shared tostada, a shared strip of lettuce, a shared cauliflower (1/4 head), a rice bowl with ONE shrimp on top for us to split, and a quarter pineapple with a scoop of lime ice cream. Plus, wine sold at Target for $9/bottle. $345!!!! We were furious at the end of the meal. We couldn’t get more food unless we ordered it à la carte off the menu. When we looked at the à la carte menu, we saw every item we got could be ordered individually, so we’re not sure why we had to do “the experience”. Whats up with that? To add insult to injury when we priced out the à la carte menu for the exact meal we had just had it came in at $150 less than what we paid for “the experience“ . This was our anniversary dinner and we we’re celebrating me beating cancer. I’m trying to find the upside, but its hard to when you’re taken advantage of. Also, as other reviewers said, you are going to be eaten alive by bugs & be prepared to walk in gravely sand.
