    Same owners as Xixa nearby. Food was delicious and service impeccable. Cocktails weren’t amazing though and the place needs a do-over as it’s not super cozy. Overall still very good experience!

    for a tasting menu they didn’t wait for us to finish - bad pacing, drinks were skimped, and food was fine but for that price it didn’t seem worth it. Server couldn’t care less
