Plantain chips and sauce really stood out, so good. Food and everything was great but it was really cold in the redtaurant. Wonder if there's anyway to mitigate door being opened so much or something to help that. Great spot though!

We managed to catch happy hour so got to try 5 things off the menu and a few drinks each for really good value. The waitress was really nice and just the right amount of attentive. The cheesy poblano and corn dip is amazing

Delicious! Food was so good, and arrived in just the right amount of time. Server was friendly, view of the sun setting over the park from a sidewalk patio table - perfection. And the drinks were some of the bets cocktails I've had in town.
