been there three times for dinner and once for brunch. each time was great. the open kitchen view is great. the wall of window panes dividing the restaurant from the bar is a nice touch as well.

they don't take reservations for less than six people, but i've never had a problem being seated fairly promptly. the wine list isn't extensive but has a nice range to choose from. the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu.

try it. you won't be disappointed.

music is never too loud and they've got a nice patio to hang out on during warmer nights. music tends to be along the lines of death cab for cutie, shins, decemberists, type stuff. at least when i've been there lately.

good happy hour w/$2 tacos. menu features cuisine inspired by Mexico's coastal regions.
