The food was excellent, even better than I expected. Ordered the shrimp tacos (best I've ever had), chicken tacos, ribs and the guacamole. Everything exceeded my expectations. The gothic decor was absolutely stunning. 10/10 would recommend

    Fabulous experience, some of the best, most thoughtful service we’ve gotten. Our server Jake was outstanding, made great suggestions and had a knack for knowing just when to stop by. The dry-aged ribeye was phenomenal, the mushrooms were delicious, the cocktails were on point, and the seasonal macaron was a perfect last bite. The atmosphere is classic without being pretentious, and we appreciated the great music at a volume that allowed us to easily converse without hearing the people around us. We sat in the dining room but took in the gorgeous view from the second floor open air space after dinner. 10/10, would recommend, ask for Jake!

    This was an amazing place in both food and experience. The decorations were beautiful. The dim lights were perfect and the service was amazing. If I could, I would go here every week!
