The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection. Over the years, I've visited for everything from informal business discussions to evenings spent with close friends. The intimate lighting, softly glowing candlelight, and thoughtfully curated ambiance create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Combined with a moderate noise level that allows for comfortable conversation, it's an ideal setting for both meaningful catch-ups and professional engagements.

You tell them the spirit you're feeling and the vibe or flavors you're in the mood for, and they craft a cocktail from scratch just for you. Every drink feels intentional, balanced, and elevated.

If you're tired of the same old menu drinks and want something creative, personalized, and next level, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough.

Honestly I didn't…read moreknow too much about the spot before we went in but our server did a great job of explaining how the menu pays homage to the Sonoran region while using fresh, local Texas ingredients. It was also my friend's first time and since there were so many different yummy sounding dishes on the menu we decided to do the Norteno Menu - which essentially was where the chef selects multiple courses for you and the dinner essentially becomes a surprise of "What delicious thing comes next?" Our dinner ended up consisting of: Aguachile Verde, Guacamole, Roasted mole beets, the pollo served in a rojo sauce, and a sweet end with a Tres Leches cake. Every dish was unique and consisted of an explosion of flavors. The chicken was soooo good - especially when you paired it with one of the fresh and absolutely delicious tortillas they bring to the table. Such a great dining experience and ambiance. I'll be back!

The tostadas were thick and crispy, just like you want your chips to be, especially good for scooping up the ceviche dish. I loved this interpretation of ceviche and the funky cocktail sauce flavors. I just found this review in my drafts from October 2025, and while I don't remember every course in detail to do it justice, I remember everything being so great. I remember that we were also really impressed by the frijoles rancheros with chorizo and chile ash! It was our favorite side. The service was excellent and we loved the dim lights and casual elegance. We will definitely return, hopefully soon!

We enjoyed some of their IPAs and began with grilled oysters which were delicious with quite the kick and their chilled cucumbers which were nice but would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces as each piece was an entire spiral from the length of a cucumber - but they were still delicious! I got the snapper throats which is my absolute standout dish off their menu, my husband had the pork and my kids enjoyed the calamari and their pressure cooked chicken with biscuits - with their delicious house salad as a side as one is more than enough for 4! Perfect spot for Father's Day!
