Ah-may-zing. Seriously, you have to try this place. Brussels sprouts and beef tartare were delicious. Great cocktails!

The extensive menu of cocktails, wine, and bottled beers is supplemented by a broad selection of delicious New American bar food with a Southwestern twist.

The tartare and ceviche were great to start the meal followed by this great take on fried rice with pork belly 🙏🏼

Start with the green beans and brussels sprouts and you'll leave happy. Beware: on busy nights the low-ceilinged room can be quite loud. Read more

EVERYTHING is good. Eat as much as you can and drink as much as you can and it is rarely over $30.

The pork jowl, aka the American Bibimbap (even served in the stone bowl) was pretty great.
