Atmosphere lends itself perfectly to a date night spot. Knowledgeable staff, lots of GF options! My husband and I enjoyed the cocktails, especially the fat duck old fashioned and the campeon.

We ordered the shrimp and cuttlefish ceviche, arroz cremoso, a crispy Brussels sprouts dish (all were generous tapas size) and the pato al pastor as our entree to share. It was WAY too much food but everything was divine. I think next time we'd share one or two (if we were having trouble deciding between the tapas) tapas/ appetizers and split the pato al pastor.

All in all, we plan on going back soon. It was incredible - from the welcome drink to the exceptional service to a meal I can't stop thinking about (it's been a few weeks). Oh and they also brought out a small gluten free fudge cake thing for dessert since it was my birthday.

It is tucked away behind Taco Bamba, fyi.
