Natalie was a fantastic server. Incredibly attentive, great food recommendations, and gave my mom a free drink for her birthday! She truly made it a special birthday brunch, and the food was amazing, as always!

This is a tapas style restaurant with a pinch of art, if you read from its name. We arrived around 5 pm and found a street parking spot (later we knew there was a parking garage nearby). We chose the all you can eat menu and there were foods from many parts of the world. My personal flavor was the sesame steak. And the rest were also pretty good. I had to mention the service was excellent. They were friendly and attentive. I would like to try it again if I go back to this area.

It has been some time since our last visit to this establishment, and I must say that our dining experience was quite enjoyable. The food was flavorful and complemented the cocktails nicely. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was distinctive, enhanced by the numerous artworks adorning the walls. Overall, we had a wonderful time in this art-themed restaurant.

The food was absolutely amazing! The black bean hummus had an incredible flavor and paired perfectly with the warm pita. The crispy chicken sliders were easily the highlight—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The Caesar salad was fresh and well-balanced. Our server, Natalie, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and gave us excellent drink recommendations that really elevated the meal. A great experience overall!

The only negative is it takes too long for waiter/waitress to come. Food was good but do you research before you come. Burger, French Toast, fried egg and biscuit were Great

Amazing global-inspired street food served small plate style at fantastic prices! The shrimp and pork lumpia was my favorite, with the crispy Brussels sprouts and chili shrimp taco ranked close behind. Bottomless dining available for lunch, dinner, and brunch. Don't miss Happy Hour in the bar or on the patio for even more bang for your buck. I can't wait for my next visit!

Such a hidden gem! We ordered bottomless tapas, the shrimp tacos is phenomenal, definitely recommended! Papaya salad is also pretty solid

Went for their bottomless brunch and enjoyed the blood orange mimosa, pepperoni pizza and taco bar. I didn’t like the monkey bread -it looked good but it was served cold and the bread was too tough and dense. But overall good food options and excellent service - thank you Sol. We will be back!
