Amazing!!!
Great energy, amazing team, incredible menu, and jamming music!
I so recommend if you’re in the area that you stop by!!! Word of warning. Make reservations on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as I saw people being turned away as they were completely booked.
A special thanks to Rodrigo and Julio! They were incredibly attentive. Also, a special thank you also goes to Miguel the manager who stopped by regularly to check on us.
If you’re looking for great food, great service, and amazing energy, come here!

A different kind of spot to celebrate, with a Greek-inspired concept where you even get to smash plates (for an extra cost at the end). It’s a great option if you’re looking to sing, dance, and simply have a good time. … More
