    Interesting dishes in a friendly environment. The quasi-Mexican dishes are the best, but there are a number of good dishes. Bar scene is a bit middle-aged pick-up, but bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly.

  • The food was delicious and the scenery was colorful. The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and the staff was very attentive, even with the slight language barrier. I will definitely be going there again. It was worth every penny!

    Excellent. My dinner was amazing and I can't wait to go back. The chef came out to ask about our dinner. Chef Luis seems to know a lot of the patrons and obviously his restaurant is well loved. I had no problem with the service but they do seem to be learning. That being said, the staff was very nice.

  • Luis is a very talented chef who was once the chef at Sole' before going out on his own. The restaurant is meant to be friendly and unpretentious with good food. the wait staff is quite friendly but as mentioned elsewhere here, there can be a little language problem from time to time. The back of the main room can a bit too dark ... needs some decorating attention and we would prefer white rather than colored table clothes.
