“ My friend and I heard good things about this place and decided to go for happy hour. The decor is 10/10. It's super cute and definitely picture worthy. We arrived around 5:15pm and were seated right away. The staff were nice. The food was pretty good, but honestly I won't be back for no happy hour items as their prices are very high. Truffle fries: (5/5) These were delicious. Great flavor and crunch to them. Brussel sprouts: (3/5) These were our least favorite on the table. They seemed too firm and lacked seasoning and flavor. Salmon and tuna sashimi: (5/5) The fish tasted very fresh and melted in your mouth. We ended up ordering 2 of them. You can't beat the happy hour price. Spicy tuna roll: (4/5) Simple but tasty! Definitely would order again. Bison burger: (3.5/5) It was decent. The patty was flavorful, but wished the peppers and onions were cooked longer, they were just thrown on there. I ended up taking them off and ate the delicious queso dip and the patty. ”
“ Has someone said "zama-zing"?! I mean, it is. Celebrated my sisters birthday for a table of 11. The corner table was pretty but kind of hard to get in and out of if you're sitting inside of the booth. Was recommended to order "family style" since we were a big party. Orders are hefty in price but delicious for the most part. Mostly hits - including the sushi, calamari, and wagyu steak. A big disappointment was the fried rice. Slightly bland. Service was great. Everyone was great looking. It's definitely a trendy spot so make sure to bring your A-game and wear earth tones to match the ambiance. So many cool places to take insta photos. The bathrooms are beautiful. Lighting is pretty and flowers are everywhere. The vibe you get is definitely loungey, drinks are pretty, lights are dim, and people are vibing. It was nice of them to do the birthday celebration. They add a bunch of sparklers making a celebrant feel extra special. ”
“ Alejandro was very attentive and made our experience more special. Highly recommend the aguachiles. ”
“ Alex did a phenomenal job serving my girlfriend and I this evening! Good and service was top notch. ”
“ The food is excellent and very flavorful and the atmosphere is inviting. Great service by all! ”
“ The bison burger was flavorful and juicy. It came with mushrooms, caramelized onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and served with truffle fries. The best part is that they also served a small melted fondue cheese as a condiment !!! Also got the Tunalicious sushi. It was ok. It had a creamy sauce on top but the flavors were pretty plain. The bison burger was definitely the star of the night. The interior decor and bar area were stunning!! They had a cute swing in the back area near the dj booth for pictures. Definitely a great place for a date night. ”
