The food was delicious! The margarita mezcal is amazing but drinks take a bit to arrive. The ambience is cute! Small place but they make it work. It’s a gem!

We loved the Amazonico Cebiche, which was brought to the table first. We also had Oysters, Causa, and Chocolo Frito, which were all good, but not as amazing as I was expecting. Service was also fine--not awesome, not great. Our order of the oysters got lost somehow or were taken to the wrong table so we had to remind our server that we had ordered them. I had noted in our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday but there was no mention of it at the restaurant at all. The greenhouse is definitely the coolest of the outdoor seating options (AC units were trying their best to keep it cool) but it was SO buggy. I don't mind a fly or two here and there but they were really all over the place. Flies are something I can typically overlook but here it was out of control, which doesn't match the ambiance I would expect for a James Beard finalist and Michelin recommended restaurant.

We left very impressed by our first visit, and will definitely return next time we visit San Antonio. I enjoyed watching the ceviches being made to order, and while they command a high price, they deliver on quality. The Nikkei version had a tamarind ponzu that was on the salty side, but the tuna and avocado helped balance it. The branzino dish was virtually perfect, a super fresh fish with no bones. Wines by the glass were impressively poured tableside and offered great value, whereas the Pisco sour was passable but not incredible. I ordered an IPA that our server said was local but turned out to be from Houston. She was friendly but also hard to track down. Service in general was sufficient, casual and accommodating. This restaurant offers a vibrant vibe with colorful decorations and healthy plants abounding. The interior design is tasteful and comforting. They do a great job sourcing eclectic wines and high-quality local ingredients, clearly demonstrating that the whole operation is guided by wise professionals with foresight and principles.
