Amazing place. I had one of the most interesting experiences at this restaurant. The tartar was absolutely delicious, creamy and filling. The staff was also very nice and my table, which was a party of 12, got some clams from the house. Definitely a must at Chicago!

Perfectly cooked meats and great spices. Definitely recommend the duo de cordero and Mar y tierra. A lot of care put into each dish and the chef even came out to thank the customers.

Outstanding food. Great use of flavors. Friendly, enthusiastic staff. Chef, owner, came to table to check in with us a couple of times during the evening. Excellent appetizers. Duck breast and skate wing were our entrée choices. Both were amazing. Chocolate enchilada dessert was yummy. Staff encourages sharing to sample all the flavors or the tasting menu. Very good advice. Wouldn't want to miss anything here. Very impressed. We'll l be back.

They were very accommodating to relocating us to the "live wall" room and beautiful chandeliers! Nicole our waitress was amazing!! She was so sweet, smiley and really made our girls night extra fun!! Food was presented beautifully and was delish! Would recommend to those with a more adventurous pallet but great for date night or girls night out as well!:)

Went here with my wife, and we opted for for chef's tasting option. The food was all very good, as were the presentations. A great French-Mexican fusion restaurant with interesting designs, though I think it was the soup we had that blew me away the most. Service was solid, and Chef Carlos Gaytan took the time to stop by our table and ask us about our favorites near the end of the meal. Definitely worth checking out.
