If your looking for fine dining, great dishes and a mix of Mediterranean and Mexican food, this is the place. One of my top restaurants in the city. You need to do a reservation at least two weeks in advance or ask for early sitting for lunch or late sitting for dinner then you might find a table without reserving. It is very worth going, you will not be disappointed
