First time visit. Entrance from off of street. On right side from parking lot. Parking - Paid parking deck Order & Price (Check pics 📸) - $92.56 Pros Calamari: seasoned but a little overcooked Brussel Sprouts: delicious...crispy but not dry. Savory Potatoes: crunchy outside soft inside. Inside is soft and melts in to your mouth Short Ribs: very tender. Sweet meat. Carrot puree very smooth Mojo steak: steak temperature was good and cooked well but it needed more seasoning on the steak itself. Most flavor came from the chimcurri sauce. Chimichurri sauce reminds me more of a salsa. Cons If sitting outside. There is a pond next door so there was a algae smell Would I Recommend: Yes Follow me here on Google Maps and @jessreviewss on Instagram for more. ✍️🏽
This place was fantastic! 🌟 Right off the Beltline, just an elevator ride down to amazing food and top-notch service. Chloe did an incredible job making us feel welcome and ensuring the meal and drinks were exactly to our liking. 🍽️🍹 My buddy and I had a wonderful time. Chloe definitely deserves a promotion! 👏 Thanks, and I’ll be bringing more people back. 😊
I had an amazing dinner here with friends! When I first walked in, I immediately loved the fun colors and design of the bar and restaurant. You can eat inside or outside on a covered patio. There’s a great variety of tapas to choose from. We each ordered 2-3 and everything was delicious. It’s like comfort food tapas! Margaritas were great as well. You can add flavors like peach, mango and passion fruit which I always appreciate. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. He paced out each dish so we didn’t have everything all at once! He also recommended the salmon dish which was my favorite. They are conveniently located by the beltline and a short walk from Ponce City Market. Plus they have parking! They are attached to a deck with signs telling you where to go and they validate. Overall, 10/10 recommend. This will be my new go-to spot.
Food was great and service quick. Our server Preston had great recommendations! Try the Brisket tacos, and don't forget the sangria.
