Stephen Garvey: It's fun to sit at the dining counter and be able to watch the chefs work. It will also give you the chance to pick out what you think looks best. Lobster Spaghetti is fantastic, as are the crudos.
Lorenzo Martinez: Try the Crudo. Super fresh and perfect texture.
Michelle Starkey: Amazing experience, Patrick (our server) was absolutely fantastic. I had crispy heritage chicken & bruschetta - phenomenal. Crudo platter is a must-have --particularly the blue Marlin and tuna!

Weilyn: Tacooooos!! Raw tuna, cheeseburger, shrimp and grits, and steak were our favorites. Cool soda choices too
Lukas Carvajal: Very delicious American tacos. Been here multiple times. Great service and cool places to sit on second floor. My favorite is the raw tuna taco. Not a top taco place for me because it isn't authentic.
Bianca: Just ok. Slow food, not fast, but nothing was really outstanding. Ok, the raw fish one in lettuce, maybe (poké).

Isabel: My most favorite steakhouse ever (along with Masto's Ocean Club and City Hall Steakhouse, Scottsdale, AZ). Ahi Tuna Tartare, ANY steak, and did I mention the LOBSTER mashed potatoes?! Heavenly. Read more.
