“ Afternoon bar stop was everything we could have asked for. Fantastic food, drink, and lovely atmosphere in the design district. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Atmosphere: bar curves around and has these amazing red bar stools. Also a big outdoor patio and indoor tables. Upscale and comfortable but not snooty. - Crab claws: option of large or jumbo for 1, 3 or more that was wonderful. Cracked right in front of you behind the bar with an industrial cracker. Super fresh and served with 2 sauces along with lemon and limes. 5 stars - Breakfast pizza: delectable crust, cubes of just salty and fatty enough pork, wonderful mixture of cheeses, and fun addition of the egg. Only wish it was a runny one to make it perfect. 4.5 stars - Drinks: list of appealing cocktails but I was excited about the glass of Ruinart champagne which is rarely found Lowlights: - Didn't get to have the full experience of a meal. Loved it and would be happy to return. ”

“ This place was wonderful. The octopus was delicious, it was served with radish, cilantro and some crema. The fries (not pictured) were great! I didn't get a chance to snap a pic because I was starving and munched out on them. The service was amazing, the manager came to our table and all, to introduce herself and let us know that she's available if we need anything. The bartender was very nice and made our drinks fairly quick. The espresso martini was good, the coffee really packed a punch. My favorite part was when they brought out the double baked carrot cake, it was yummy!! It was my birthday, so they also brought out a hand written card. That was very thoughtful, I really enjoyed that aspect of my dining experience. Overall, I highly suggest you check them out. We made a reservation in advance since we were a big party, they were very accommodating. ”
