    Such a fabulous evening. The venue is uber cool and Joburg so desperately needs people and places like this. Huge shout out to the owner for giving some edge to a very dull restaurant scene. Delicious food and cocktails, cant wait to go back soon!

    My second visit, the first of which was an absolute shocker, but this one completely made up for it. Really a lovely evening, and showed off all that the restaurant can be. Very pleased.

    We loved this little speakeasy style modern Mexican cuisine. The first time I’ve eaten out where a co-owner/chef meets& talks to every single guest whilst making you fresh guacamole in front of you. Nice touch
