Food and service were excellent. The sushi rolls and sashimi were very fresh and delicious. Craft cocktails, Yuzu Garden and White Lotus Martini were also exceptional. The only negative was the calamari was a bit rubbery but the dipping sauce was very good.

Brought 2 friends who spend time in Spain for dinner, and it was fabulous, as always - they said the pane con tomate and paella were better than any they've had in Spain! Catherine helped us and she is just the best!!! The sommelier was also helpful, and very, very interesting to talk to about both Spain and Mexico! The room and view are, of course, lovely - breaking up the larger room with the bookshelves was brilliant! We shared the appetizer and it was a great start! The boys had paella - loved it!, I had the baramundi - excellent, and our other friend had the shrimp. We got 2 orders of churros for dessert, and they were as yummy as always! We will all be back many times!!!

the food is always great, and the service is very on point! It's not a large menu but anything you order is delicious! Chips and salsa or some type of appetizer at seating would be nice :) just a suggestion. I guess that is what you expect from a Mexican restaurant.
