I went with a group of 8 for dinner. The cocktails had fresh squeezed juices and were inventive. Our waiter was a little skittish but ended up being great. I had the steelhead and it was fresh and tasty. They had a good wine list and the salads and apps were fresh and different. Everyone loved what they had. We had doughnuts with carmel sauce for desert and chocolate cake. They were both the perfect touch. I will go back again and again. The scenery was relaxed and fun at the same time. Good buzz to the place, can't believe it was a laundromat before because it had so much character.

They don't serve desert they want you to try bakeries or gelato places in the neighborhood which is a nice community thing to do.

Try a Pisco Sour if you want to try something with out Tequila- delish. The plates were described as small, but were in fact a full meal size if you order rice and beans to share for the table. And definitely try the guac. made at the table. We were very happy, except for the pricy drinks.

The peculiar ordering style was odd, if you're picky, you won't like it. They offer you a family style dinner or lunch which consists of a few courses and they pick what to serve you. Sometimes they bring you not what you ordered anyway so might as well go with the family style menu. It is good to take a chance, I would never have ordered some of the dishes, but loved them all. Especially tasty was the spicy calimari. This is a good place for large parties and sharing.
