    Feels like a Mexican coastal resort. Has a bit of a clubby vibe to it, for better or worse. The carnitas were interesting—chunks instead of shredded—but quite good. The surf and turf enchiladas were very average. On the whole, quite pricey but not quite at the same level as Javier’s or Calo Kitchen.

    It was absolutely freezing and there are only sporadic heaters, none of which were over our table. Tables are on top of each other, maybe 6 inches in between, not to mention we were right next to the waiter station where they hung around talking the whole time. Won’t be back.
