Our Reviews
- Ashley M. 7/12/2024I landed at this spot after watching a tik-tok and I have to say I had a good time. The drinks were good, service was excellent, and people were friendly. The TikTok video I watch showed food, the day I went they did not, but there are plenty of options near by to check out.read moreread less
- Camille W. 5/07/2024Let me start by saying that this place is absolutely beautiful. And although I only had one drink & one empanada, which were both delicious, my rating is really based on the people who work here. Javier, the bartender, is as personable as it gets. He didn’t mind me asking him mixology questions as he made each drink and kept me company while I waited for people in my group to arrive. He’s truly a gem. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the name of the other star of my experience here, but I will say that she was one of the warmest people I’ve met in a long time. When she saw that I was having a rough night, she gave me the biggest motherly hug & asked me if I was OK. You don’t find too many people like that these days & I greatly appreciated it. That alone is reason enough for me to come back.read moreread less
