very fun place with a funky vibe the food was outstanding. I recommend trying the Mexican sushi. Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had very fresh. Very tasty. I highly recommend this place. If you’re looking for a fun night out and some really good food. I don’t drink anymore, but their cocktail list has some pretty fun and creative of cocktails on it

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise in every way. The drinks are an experience, the food is incredible and the environment is one that I have never experienced in Pittsburgh. Our server, Sophia was kind and helpful and we will certainly be back again soon.

Service was horrific. Guy waited on us didn't come to check on us we didn't have drinks for 35 minutes. We questioned the waiter he told us he do not speak English in English. He was rude rushing us with everything. Then said I'm not waiting on you all anymore and left. The manager had to wait on us. My sister never got her food until we finished eating. Then they gave my other sister shrimp when she is allergic to shelled fish. It was my birthday they never came to me to sing happy birthday but went to everyone else to do so. The food was good but the wait staff need more customer service training. The manager did give me a gift card for the horrible service.
