Hoja Santa was an incredible dining experience. There were 3 of us on a Saturday evening and the restaurant had good energy. Lots of fun. Our waiter, David was wonderful and so was the rest of the staff. The food was explosive. Everyone really enjoyed their food - super delicious. I had the chicken thighs which were so good - perfect seasoning. Very attentive service. Overall an A++++.

Excellent quality BBQ. Lamb ribs were very good and I’d order again. Burnt end Mac & cheese is a must every time I go to Frontier. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Really good experience overall.

Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.
