Description
Led by Almonte, the kitchen features a varied menu that includes sushi, burgers, and specialty cocktails like the rum-based el mensajero. The space is arranged with sloping seats, and diners should note the business casual dress code, which excludes athletic wear, tank tops, and hoodies. While Sundays offer a quieter pace, the energy builds on weekend nights, making the restaurant a common destination for group birthday celebrations.
