Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.

I was invited to a soft opening. My friend was unable to make it so I went alone for lunch. I was greeted warmly and seated inside as it was too cold on the patio. Robby was my server and he was fantastic from the start. I started with the ceviche appetizer, the fish was cod., large delicious pieces. A big portion wi/ tortilla chips along the plate. They are made in house. Crunchy and perfect. I order grilled Kanpachi with chimmchuri. It really was a pesto. The fish was cooked perfectly and again, a large portion. I had the sesame green beans and elote corn off cob. I had a blood orange lemonade, very refreshing. I chose to paste on dessert. They packed up my leftovers in compostable packaging. This is a big deal to me. Many of the staff came over and asked how I was enjoying my meal. I am a long time local and this new restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I will be back. I wish them much success.
