    Espresso Martini
    Latonya S.

    Five star service from Viv the bartender that you can find at brunch or Friday and Saturday. He did great an outstanding espresso martini and shared with me that each bean in my martini means something: health, wealth, and happiness! As for the ambience, outstanding I received incredible service from Carlos. He was so pleasant if you have the opportunity to request him. I had blackened shrimp on top of my feta salad. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly. As for my husband he had a crabcake Benedict. Yes, I did help him eat that crabcake. It was so delicious. If you come to the live music, it's calm, relaxing and I think you'll enjoy yourselves. Evelyn is one of the managers with increíble attention to detail which we love. You may want to park on the street because they don't validate parking. If you park in the garage, it will save you from the rain and the outdoor weather because it brings you directly to the level of the restaurant.

    I was in town for a conference and of course cuisine has got to be on the list. The weather was crappy this weekend but we were happy to find mariposa located at the Mint Museum. The decor and aesthetics were right up my alley. Lunch time was quiet but I'm sure the dinner vibe is amazing. The food was really really good. The Peruvian chicken bowl was a great choice. And don't forget some good apps. The team was pleased to finally get to eat some good food. The menu is delightfully curated and the their menu exquisite recipes are unique. The waitress was very friendly and kind. Definitely a must try.

    We had to come all the way to North Carolina for elote fritters.

    We arrived at lunchtime without a reservation and were immediately seated. We sat outside in the perfect weather. The city views are beautiful. The service was extremely slow. This would probably not be problematic except we were on a schedule and had to get my man back to his conference. We ordered the charred corn fritters, tandori spiced cauliflower, the Mediterranean avocado bowl, and the Peruvian chicken bowl. It was probably 15 minutes before the server came back to tell us that they were out of chicken bowls. We then ordered the Moroccan pie. The fritters came out first. Incredible. There were crunchy and chewy and full of flavor. They sure set the bar high with this one! Unfortunately the rest of the meal was inconsistent. The cauliflower was cooked well and had a nice spice, but was lacking maybe salt. It was still good. The avocado bowl- avocado was fresh; the olive brine was interesting, but offered the seasoning that was needed; the quinoa, tomatoes, and onions had no seasoning or flavor at all; the feta and tzatziki were good. Individually, nothing was particularly great, but eaten together it was tasty. The Moroccan pie was also good, but heavily sweetened maybe with honey and dusted with powdered sugar. This wasn't in the description. The chicken was well seasoned and tasty, but overall pretty sweet. When it came time for the check, again, service was slow. We managed somehow to get done with a few minutes to spare. The inconsistency makes it difficult to want to come back. But those fritters get all the stars.

    I came here today with a friend after checking out the Mint Museum. We arrived around 230pm and got seated at a large booth in the back. The design/decor is elevated and sophisticated with dark/stark lines. Our waitress could've been a little friendlier but warmed up towards the end. I just had a latte but it was served in fancy mug on a saucer and my friend got the chicken bowl and really enjoyed it. They had some Live music going on which was a pleasant bonus- mic was a little loud though, just an fyi! Parking in the garage is validated and street spots are free on Sundays @azfitfoodfun

    Carlos was the perfect server! We went to brunch for my Gigi's birthday and it was amazing. The live jazz group was playing at the perfect volume and every dish put in front of me was cooked to perfection.

    The restaurant was beautiful. Our waitress was friendly. There was a jazz band. I enjoyed their drink special...$1 Bloody Mary's. They weren't spicy, but not bad. My lamb burger and fries were tasty. My friend enjoyed her Peruvian chicken bowl. We shared French toast. It was really good. It has apple compote and a vanilla butter. Yum! We went on a Sunday afternoon and had reservations. Keep in mind if there is a Panther game. Parking was a nightmare. Lovely place with great service. Great place for brunch and adventurous taste buds.

    The food was divine...it is a great date night venue. The chef came out and greeted us to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Carlos was a great waiter.... If I lived in town would totally return. So much attention to detail even the cutlery has a "mariposa".

    Fuego cocktail with mezcal
    A J.

    What a fabulous mid week treat for the eyes and pallet. This place is absolutely gorgeous. If I were a spy from a bond movie this would totally be where I ordered my fancy cocktail after sliding into one of the many plush bar stools as I await to rendezvous with my nemesis. The cocktails are a work of art. It would be ashamed to call the artist behind the bar a bartender. This is an expert mixologist at work ppl. My Fuego drink was mezcal mixed with watermelon and a slight smokiness that was so well blended I could have licked the glass. My friend had a beautiful lavender drink that came with instructions to take the first sip with the lavender included so the taste and smell are taken in together...whoa! Dining is tapas style with small and large plates. We did all small plateswe could try lots of stuff. Here's the spread; Mushroom toast (amazing) Pork Belly lettuce wraps Squash casserole Short ribs Corn fritters (my fav) Raspberry mousse dessert Everything was delicious and came out in the perfect waves. Service is exceptional! Our waitress was a burst of energy and gave great recco's. She gave us the perfect amount of attention and even helped us stage a photo shoot. Thanks for a great evening!!! #SuburbanMom

    This experience overall was great, on the more expensive side. We did restaurant week here, note you can only pick from that menu that week. The service was great and the server was super kind and attentive. It is beautiful inside.

    I celebrated my birthday here and they did not disappoint! The live jazz band was the cherry on top. I got the lab burger and let me tell you it was soooo good! This will be my new spot for Sunday brunch!

    Feta salad
    Genie M.

    Nathan and Alizar provided outstanding service. They were both attentive, courteous, professional and welcoming!we were checked in quickly since we had a reservation. The restaurant is on the Second floor above the museum. You can take the elevator or stairs. We went for brunch so the restaurant was bright and spacious! There is plenty and a variety of seating from the bar stools to couches. Love the huge windows! I ordered the feta salad with shrimp. It was good but wished it had some salad like baby greens or arugula. It had soooo many tomatoes that I thought it was a tomato salad. The shrimp on the tomatoes were delicious! We also shared the French toast, that was delicious! The potatoes/ homefries were spicy and flavorful. Also had the corn fritters, they were a bit bland. The five dollar mimosas were perfect to make it an official brunch. They were refreshing and brought extra joy to our celebration! I would return and try other items on menu! Once again great service provided by Nathan and Alizar!

    From the moment I walked in, I knew this was going to be a great brunch experience. I came here for a double-date Sunday Jazz Brunch, and everything from the drinks to the atmosphere made the visit feel special. Starting with the drinks, you really can't beat $5 mimosas and $1 Bloody Mary's. Naturally, I tried both and they were excellent choices. I also ordered a pumpkin martini and it was absolutely amazing! Smooth, seasonal, and honestly one of the highlights... plus the bartender hand delivered it ("with love", his words not mine...). Every dish we ordered was delicious and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve because everything tasted thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor! The staff were genuinely kind and joyful, which made me feel welcomed and appreciated the entire time. The live jazz music created such a warm vibe and paired perfectly with the beautiful aesthetic of the space. It's the kind of brunch that makes you feel a little fancy in the best way. Overall, this place delivered on food, drinks, service, and ambiance. I can't wait to come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a standout Saturday or Sunday brunch (the Jazz brunch is both days).

    Chocolate cake
    Christy C.

    This restaurant is beautiful and very clean. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well. We went for a business lunch and we were seated right away. Our service was excellent. Our table ordered a variety of things, everything was good! I got the lamb burger with a side salad, others got the chicken bowl and the salad with shrimp on it. My favorite part was the chocolate cake and delicious cappuccino.

    Are there heaters on the outdoor patio in the winter?

    I don't think there's outdoor seating at the restaurant.

    Can they accommodate large party's?

    How large? There was a group of 8 women sitting at the table next to us. I don't know if there's enough room to accommodate a group larger than that.

Two of my personal standouts are the Beetle Juice, which incorporates fresh beet juice, and The Fishbone, which brilliantly highlights their house-made aquavit. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a great atmosphere and an inventive menu!

The French toast was golden with just the right balance of sweetness. The Benedict comes layered with smoked salmon and spinach, and it was so good my friend even ordered a second one to take home! I've actually picked up sushi to-go from here at night in the past, so I already knew the food was reliable, but sitting down during the day let me appreciate how nice the space actually is. At night it has that dim, moody lighting that makes it a great date-night pick, but brunch was relaxed, bright, and didn't feel rushed at all. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whether it's for casual weekend brunch or drinks and sushi on a night out.
