Our second visit was on Valentine's Day two years ago, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. We had reservations, but by the time someone came to take our order, several menu items were already sold out. What made it more frustrating was that they continued seating people without reservations while guests with reservations were still waiting. We waited more than a year before coming back, hoping our first experience was the standard and the Valentine's Day visit was just a bad night. Unfortunately, this visit was also disappointing. Service was slow, we were served the wrong wine even after spelling it out for the waitress, and the whiskey I ordered was also incorrect. The food was not cooked properly, and the lobster mac and cheese came out cold. For a $300+ dinner, I expect much better. I understand this is the Valley, and I genuinely try to support local small businesses, but consistency matters -- especially at this price point. After two poor experiences in a row, it is hard to justify coming back.

Ambiance and staff was nice…read more Prices are extremely high for their whiskey selection. A pour was at least $45 for a $120 bottle. Disappointing for such a nice whiskey selection but having outrageous prices to try anything. Lobster Mac and cheese was $22 for a small portion and was dry. Not the tastiest and could have been better and would have been worth the $22, but we do not recommend. Chilean sea bass was good. Risotto was a little hard and bland. One of the pastas was selected that was very tasty, but very small portion. Brussel sprouts were uniquely cooked. Crème brûlée was tasty. We did hear prices were expensive. It was not an awful experience for visiting the area.

As I preceded to walk out towards the exit, I apologized to some workers who were cleaning I noticed it was around 2:06am so a little after closing their original time at 2 am. As I was headed out the door by the pool table, a bartender with a backwards cap, proceeded to yell ' Get the f*** out now' in an aggressive tone. It was extremely disrespectful as I was already apologizing and making our way out. No one came in the girls restrooms(there was a female worker there) to let us know anything.

Was craving Mexican food while in town and found this lively spot on Yelp. And boy am I glad I…read moredid. This place is best described as a trendy, somewhat upscale Mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome, dimly lit with lively music bumping. Not only is the environment lively, the food and drinks are AWESOME. I sat at the self seating bar as I was dining solo. The bartender, very friendly guy, took my order. Forgot his name but he is a good looking guy, which sort of fits the upscale scene. Every table gets complimentary salsa tray which I presume has avocado salsa, verde, mocajete, and limes. The salsas were DELICIOUS. I do wish they gave some complimentary chips along with it. Everything I ordered: Carne asada burrito, substitute beans with rice - 9/10. Was very delicious especially when accompanied with the salsas. For the drinks: Oaxaca Old Fashioned - 10/10. I love old fashioneds and they nailed it here. Instead of whiskey, they use mezcal which was delicious. Agave Spritz - 10/10. Mezcal with prosecco. Fantastic. No words. The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is including prices of the cocktails on the menu. After finishing eating I had no idea what the damage would be but it turned out to be very reasonable, $13 per cocktail. I wish I gave this place a shot earlier during my work trip, but anyhow if I am ever back in town, this is in my highly recommended list of restaurants. They also had one projector screen showing the World Cup game. They also have Happy Hour 3-6 PM. Parking is plentiful, shared with the rest of the plaza. Would I come back? You bet.
