    The most special part of my meal here was the impeccable service! You can really tell the servers enjoy the restaurant, love the food, and believe in the dishes/drinks they serve. Truly special! The highlight of our meal was the curry mussels-- absolutely delicious, and required another place of toasted bread to soak up the sauce! Another highlight was their specialty martini which is made with an oyster shell vermouth. Our entrees were good (not great), but the ambiance, service, and killer appetizers will bring me back to try new dishes.

    Can I just review the Mexican Chocolate Cake? It's literally the best chocolate cake I've ever had in my life. The depth of chocolate flavor is so developed. The cake itself is super super moist. And the chocolate mousse layers? Equally as delicious, so soft and almost pudding-like and not too sweet. I was worried the caramel sauce would be overwhelming sweet, but it was almost like umami sweet, which was so unexpected and complemented the cake so well. If I could only eat 1 dessert for the rest of my life, this would be it. The service here was also exceptional. I did not expect this level of service as our server happily explained the menu to us in detail and answered all of our questions. He also helped us course out our dinner as well. Unfortunately, I did not get his name but he checked in with us so many times throughout the meal, making sure everything was to our liking. As for the food - it's a bit pricey, but you can tell they use top tier fish. We opted for a mix of everything - amberjack crudo, raw oysters, octopus, clams with tagliatelle, and a macadamia nut crusted halibut. All the seafood was incredibly fresh, nothing was even remotely fishy. The octopus was the most tender I've had, and the sauce that accompanied it was incredible. The tagliatelle was cooked to a perfect al dente. The halibut was meaty, yet flaky, juicy, and tender. I also appreciated that the flavors of each dish were completely different, so it was like a completely new experience with each dish. If you're a seafood lover and looking to splurge, this place is for you.

    We came here on a recommendation from a family friend while visiting San Diego. I will say that for it being a Sunday evening we had to sit outside. So if you plan to go make sure and call ahead for reservations. As for the service I have mixed feelings. Our server seemed a bit personable but also a bit standoffish. Now we did wait a bit for our 5th person to show up and we chatted for a bit before we ordered so maybe that had a bit to do with it. Idk? As for the food our tab was $352 before tip for 5 people. I will say that the aguachile was good as was the salad and the Steamed Mussels! I would say do not expect too much and all will be good.

    Unbelievable food and drinks, great atmosphere, great overall experience. Food came out quick, all the staff were incredibly friendly, and it was some of the best seafood I've had in my life. Definitely will be going back.
