Beautiful restaurant with amazing food! We took advantage of the happy hour at the bar before moving to outdoor seating for dinner. The bar was beautiful and margaritas were delicious. The bartender showed us some cool bottles of tequila that they had. We ordered Carnitas, roast chicken, and carrots, and broccolini for dinner. The Carnitas were falling off the bone and were served with acute taco set up with the most light and airy blue corn tortillas. Everything was so delicious!

The restaurant is very pretty but I thought many of the dishes were too salty.... only one bite of the $235 pre fixed meal that I really liked (and that doesn't include wine or tip). The service is very good its just to pricey not to be hitting it out of the park food wise.
