Super endroit ! La décoration est magnifique & l'espace est grand & aéré. Le service impeccable de Kike a fait de notre soirée un moment mémorable. Le menu découverte à 45$ était un excellent choix. Tout était bon. Le style de la nourriture est de type latino-mexicaine/fusion. Grand choix de tequila & de mezcal. Les cocktails sont sublimes. Je recommande chaudement.

Pretty underwhelming experience. The reviews were glowing! But the service was atrocious & they weren't understaffed or slammed by any means, wgucg . The waitress was abrupt (borderline rude) & a very average wait staff, that kept forgetting things. The food came out before our drinks did (20+ minutes for a simple scotch & soda, asked about it 3 times), which was bizarre. Food wise was very ok (prefacing with we are vegetarian), not a lot of options, the quesadilla that my wife ordered was literally a tortilla with cheese inside & a couple mushrooms. I simply wouldn't recommend this place for vegetarians, there's just not enough to try.

J'ai bien aimé mon expérience dans l'ensemble. J'ai adoré mon entré de gyoza. L'entrée de cheviche de crevette était bon, mais les crevettes étaient un peu trop dures... peut-être un peu trop cuites?! Pour terminé, j'ai pris les tacos al pastor qui était délicieux, mais j'y aurais ajouté un peu plus de sauce. Je recommande 3 plats par personne, car les portions sont de type tapas.
