We got some cocktails and they were the delicious. As this place is also a cafe, the espresso martini was perfect! I love the aesthetic of the outside and inside. It's always so cozy and nice. I will say it can get a little crowded depending on the time you go.

It's nice and Divey, dark, and moody. Friendly attentive staff. And a frothy Chai for the win!read more

The service was great as well, our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a happy hour worth checking out!

A cup of their rich flavourful duck gumbo that has a bite, and Ruben sandwich that was fair.... very meaty, with great crispy fries. Staff from front door to table is excellent!

We started with an excellent appetizer the crispy duck was just as advertised crisp and delicious, almost like a duck crackling, but keep the flavor and texture of the duck. The poke bowl was wonderful and had their special touch, very fresh and delicious, and the star was the pressed birria sandwich, the filling was so flavorful and surprisingly light. You can sit outside or inside, and this is one of the best vibes and atmospheres I've ever seen with outstanding service, definitely a local restaurant that's relaxing and has its own signature flair.

This is a very popular restaurant. We could not get reservations on the evening we were there so…read morewe were put on a wait list. I never heard back so I called around 6:30 to see if there were any open seats at the bar. There wasn't but the person who answered said the bar seats change over pretty quickly. We took a chance and when we arrived got the only 2 seats left at the bar.Score!! By 7:30 there were plenty of seats at the bar and several tables available. This is definitely a local place and we had a great time talking with the people near us. The food was good. Carpaccio was good but in my opinion there were way too many crispy onions on top that distracted from the dish. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The escargot were tasty. The octopus was tasty but the few tiny pieces on the plate were really weak for the price. I had a Malbec that was delicious.
