My friend and I came here for happy hour and immediately felt like we picked the right spot for a relaxed, fun evening. They have a great happy hour from 4 to 6 pm, and the menu actually feels intentional instead of just a shorter list of discounted items. We both ordered the Happy Smokey Halo because we love mezcal, and it was absolutely delicious. It had that smoky depth you want from mezcal, balanced with a little heat and citrus, and it felt interesting and layered without being overcomplicated or overly sweet. For food, we ordered the happy hour tacos, the tostada, and the panela to share, and genuinely loved all of it. The tacos were flavorful and fresh with great texture, the tostada had a really satisfying crunch and a nice balance of toppings, and the panela came out warm and comforting with tortillas on the side that made it perfect for scooping. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and ideal for sharing while you sip cocktails and catch up. The vibes here are amazing and honestly one of my favorite parts of the experience. I love the lighting, the warm glow from the candles, the artwork on the walls, and the overall decor that makes the space feel cozy but still lively and social. The servers came by often to check in without hovering, were patient with our questions, and were very accommodating with customizations. It ended up being one of those happy hours where you leave already thinking about when you can come back again.

Everything was amazing. From cocktails to food to Deella's service. Watching three people run an entire restaurant on a Saturday is impressive, especially when the service and standards exceed expectations. Will be coming back!

This place has a relaxed yet classy vibe and a simple menu to choose from during their coffee hours. The food is tasty and the coffee menu has classics that you can taste are made with care! Deella was super kind and welcoming while taking care of everything on their own, willing to chat or just let people do their own thing.

This is my magical Sunday routine. Aperol Spritz and Cowboy Quiche After a long 12 hour CNA shift there is no one I’d rather see than Meg’s Beautiful face. She is beauty and she’s Grace, she’s Miss United States! Atmosphere top-tier…the food DIVINE… the energy…Immaculate. & the people UNFORGETTABLE
