Calamari was excellent! Grilled fish tacos were also great! Beautiful place to have a drink, relax and enjoy quality seafood. Play area for small ones to entertained while parents enjoy a night out!

I ordered the red snapper and was honestly very disappointed, especially for the price. At $48, I expected a fresh, well-prepared dish. Instead, the fish was served with old, wilted lettuce, a little bit of onion, and plain rice that felt like an afterthought.
Nothing about the plate justified the cost. The presentation was poor, the sides were low quality, and the overall dish felt rushed and careless. Charging almost fifty dollars for a meal with stale lettuce is unacceptable.
I don’t mind paying premium prices(market price), but only when the food matches. Unfortunately, this dish did not, and I wouldn’t order the red snapper again.

It was dead at about 7:00 pm on a Saturday, and yet, service was slow. They recently changed the menu, so the dish I'd had before was gone, and the ribs were out of stock, so I had to choose something else, but the fajitas I got had very tasty meat that I enjoyed. At 8:00 they were starting to play music with a DJ, but we weren't there to dance, so we left. The waiter wasn't super helpful with the menu, especially with the dish I couldn't find or in helping me when I learned the ribs were out of stock (maybe inform guests as they hand out the menus?).

If you’re looking for the perfect family-friendly dining spot, this restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively, striking a perfect balance for both adults and kids.
The highlight for families has to be the playroom for kids—it’s thoughtfully designed, safe, and packed with fun activities that kept our little one entertained while we enjoyed our meal.
Speaking of the meal, the seafood here is phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Every bite was a treat! The drink menu is equally impressive, offering a variety of creative and refreshing options that complemented our meal perfectly.
Overall, this restaurant offers an incredible dining experience for families. Great food, amazing drinks, a fantastic playroom for kids, and outstanding service. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return!

It is my husband birthday today and after reading a review in Edible Austin I booked a reservation here.
We were greeted and seated immediately. The server, Beatriz, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was patient while we were agonizing over the delicious options before us.
When we finally made a decision she made sure that the Octopus my husband order was the right size and was overall just a very friendly, warm and sweet person.
We don’t go out to eat often but we will definitely come back here. The food was so good, fresh and flavorful. None of our seafood was rubbery, chewy or tough.
Beatriz and the rest of the staff really made this night special. Thank you so much! We will be back :)

I was looking for a good seafood restaurant for a mother's day dinner and found this wonderful location. We were attended to quickly and seated. The waiter Miguel was excellent and very knowledgeable on the meals including background info on the sourcing.
All the dishes were delicious, large portions and came out quickly. Our table tried the stuffed lobster, the coconut shrimp, and the fried whole fish. Everyone was very happy with their meal.
The drinks came out very fast and the guava margarita was not something I have found at another restaurant, it was tasty. First time but we will definitely be back!
