Excellent service, food was delicious! We tried the chefs Dia De Los Muertos menu and had the Sol cocktail with the Fuego del Sol entree. The drink was tasty and refreshing and the short rib was so tender and juicy and paired well with the plantain purée! We also got the pumpkin creme brûlée, which was amazing! Definitely want to come back soon!

My boyfriend and I drove all the way from Colorado Springs to celebrate his birthday, and we can honestly say it was worth every mile! Leslie S. was a phenomenal server and made our experience truly five-star. The food was just as amazing and made the entire experience even better. We had such a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience!

Four of us ordered different plates and everything was absolutely fantastic. All highly recommended: Waygu steak frittes, short rib, chicken pot pie (deconstructed), and salmon. When things didn't go well, the waiter Ken and manager Matt, made sure to make things perfect. Prices are high, so this is a special occasion restaurant, and well worth it.
