tastes very similar to avilas or javier’s but at double to price point almost. Our waiter was 10/10 with customer service but valet was questionable.

Great place to try for the ambiance. It’s so gorgeous. We came in for a Sunday brunch, and it was crowded, as I had expected. Food was not the greatest, but the drinks were pretty good. Definitely worth coming for the aesthetic and drinks.

The food, staff, location, ambience a menu options are great but please don’t charge $4.25 for soda that is 100% flat. If you see no carbonation change out whatever in the machine is causing the terrible tasting soda. Pet peeve for something so small yet uber irritating and laziness.
