We LOVED it! Better than El Campo and the service is amazing. We stayed at Los Poblanos and even though they have a nice restaurant, we ate here twice. We had a shared larger entre and four sides and a cocktail for 160.00. An amazing value for Michelin star food and service

Went for a pre-theatre dinner, forgot to show my ticket for a discount, but still took advantage of happy hour and sat in the bar's lounge area. Interesting drinks, excellent service, and delicious food. The fried artichoke is a must! My server understood my beverage choices and made excellent recommendations.
