4.0 (1,742)restaurant
A lively 21+ Latin American seafood spot featuring a riverfront deck, a rooftop lounge, and spaces for live music.
Description




While the main indoor area and rooftop host events, the riverfront deck offers a smaller, quieter retreat from the louder day parties. The kitchen's strengths lie in plates like lobster mac and cheese, crabcake sliders, and fresh churros, which stand out against standard fajitas and an underwhelming lobster roll. On game days, the venue pivots to high-energy sports watch parties with screens visible throughout.
