Very cool concept.
You have the option of seating in a greenhouse theme, or a train car/airstream.
Both beautiful.
The bartender is great...makes these really cool fire-smoked drinks...the food was EXCEPTIONAL.
All of it...and we ordered 4 items from the menu.
The espresso was incredible.

The best part of all, the manager.
She should run for President.

The espresso was AMAZING.

We will back.

Alright food. The sangria was really disappointing and the chivito was really chewy. The beet salad was delicious.

This is one of my favorite restaurants--a really cool, dimly-lit atmosphere. The bar is awesome. The food is super delicious and high-quality. The service is exceptional, too, and really accommodating. Highly recommend!

Delicious and creative foods. Do yourself a favor and order the duck 48 hours ahead. The lavender sourdough stuffing is amazing. The jamon roll is surprisingly a sandwich. I wasn’t alll about the potatoes. I’d absolutely get the mushrooms again. The drinks are so worth it! Loved that Senator Line.

This place was amazing!! We went without a reservation, but they were able to seat us at the bar. They were incredibly accommodating around food allergies and had great service. The food and drinks were all great as well.

My only criticism is the reservation system. I tried several times over a week to get a reservation. They never answered when I called and their voicemail was full. Then I texted and didn't get a response, but they were very accommodating despite us not having a reservation. Tables also started opening up later in the night.

With drinks, tapas, and dessert, we ended up at about $75 per person.

Overall, it was a great place and I'll definitely be back if I'm looking to splurge on some tapas.

The owner was very attentive, caring, kind, professional & hard working. She was at the front sitting people, taking orders & checking on us. The food was amazing, good quality & great presentation. My boyfriend & his sister are from Uruguay & they both said it reminded them of home. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend & We will be back 😊

Been wanting to try this place. Came on a Friday night without reservations and we got lucky. Very cool concept. There are 2 sides to the restaurant. The bar side is more open, the camper side has lower ceilings and can get very loud. But once inside, you do not feel like you're in Watertown.

They are short on staff (as is most places), so be patient. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Despite being busy, he kept a smile on his face. We were torn between the meat sampler plate and the whole duck. But then realized the duck needs to be ordered at least 48 hours in advance. But our server told us they had 1 reservation of the duck canceled so we got lucky! We ordered it right away. It takes about 30-40 minutes to prepare. They de- bone it as well. The skin was perfectly crisp and the meat was very tender and not dry. The whole duck can serve 3-4 people.

The corn soup was surprisingly very flavorful and light. The wood grilled octopus was light, flavorful and not too chewy. The wild mushrooms had a variety of mushrooms and was a bit salty. The basque cheesecake was different than the standard. Not what we expected, wasn't too heavy and not too sweet. Will definitely be back and try other things on the menu.
