"An all-around nice spot in Beverly Hills to grab some good Mexican food and drinks. The atmosphere is open with a welcoming yet refined ambiance. The service was super friendly and attentive too. The food is on the pricier side, but pretty tasty and a good stop between shopping in the area. They have daily lunch specials from 11 to 4 pm and AYCE Sunday Brunch for about $50 with a Bottomless Mimosa add-on for another $25. Very tempting, but I'd probably get kicked out of the stores after being blitz. Anyways, I came here for lunch and tried their Maracuya and Watermelon Mojito for drinks. The Maracuya was an all around good cocktail with the smoky mezcal. I asked for it a little spicy and they added some jalapeños for me. The Watermelon Mojito was like summer. Very juicy, sweet, and bright! For food, they are known for their guacamole so definitely went with that. It came with a citrusy green salsa and a smokey hot red. Pretty good and great for sharing. Really fresh guac that is light and airy being a good mix between chunky and smooth. I also got their Mole Poblano. Super delish and highly recommended! The mole was sweet and deep with smoky notes. It was served over some shredded chicken that was cooked percectly! It came with some rice, plantains, and tortillas to build a taco. Really good mix of carbs! I enjoyed every bite and would get it again. All in all, I enjoyed this place! Aside it being a bit pricy, it had good service, food, and ambiance!"

"I love Santa Barbara and getting seafood from there. My mom was looking for a restaurant that served scallops and the closest one with good reviews was this one.Atmosphere: the restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Well designed with a good color balance. The one thing I didn't love was feeling like the servers were right behind me worth them having their conversations. Otherwise it was a good placement (adjacent to the pier and nice looking.Service: The staff seemed nice. We were seated quickly. The server introduced himself initially. It took another server to ask of we needed bread and it felt a little like a shuffle since a different server brought out the food. It took awhile for the server to return to thr table so we sat for awhile after finishing our food before we were able to find him again to box our food and get the check. We had to ask for a bag for our two boxes instead of them offering. I also felt like this was medium price but it would help if the servers helped to put the food into the boxes instead of making the patrons do it themselves. It would make it seem more like a higher end restaurant.Food: (1st I know Fiesta Fest was last week but I found a piece of confetti on my bread plate. It's just not a good look. Also the look of my dish when it got to me was a little messy.The pasta that we had was good but not great. The sauce felt like it needed a bit more of a bold flavor and a bit thicker (it had a bit of a watery pesto taste and didn't taste like it utilized the umami taste that the mushrooms could have given it. The shrimp were great and the pasta was perfect texture. (I always wish that shrimp in pasta dishes didn't require me to work and use my hands to take thr tail off but that's not specifically just this restaurant .Overall, it was a good experience but there were just a few things that kept it from feeling like a great experience."

"I came on a friday night, and I was actually super excited to come here. only because, I’ve passed it multiple times due to it being conveniently located near the metro. also because the entrance is super intriguing making you feel like you’re in japan (iykyk). but they fell short on their lack on communication and customer service. the hostess was quick to immediately tell us, we can’t accommodate you inside because we have reservations. never did she once, try or offer any options to satisfy us. to me, it’s about trying and doing your best. she didn’t even try and shut me down with a no and to go to the bar. until another lady accommodated us politely. I didn’t really enjoy how you have to close your tab at the bar in order to be seated. crazy how we live in 2024 and you can’t transfer checks lmao. the server was alright. I guess going to a mid-class sushi restaurant gives you inadequate service. genuinely, it makes me feel like I have to spend top quality money (like novikov, zuma, and etc) to get amazing service. I may not be a server, but the lady kept pouring water in front of me. blocking me with her hand in order to fill our waters. number one rule as a server, never block the guests view with your arms. so for the service I received was poor. leading to a no tip and no empathy for receiving a no tip. try harder to actually satisfy your guests. thank you."
