After a full day of sight-seeing, this was the perfect place to throw down on some authentic Southwestern cuisine. Private parking, garden patio, tall wooden doors welcomed us. The dim-lights gave the place a nice homey feel.

Upscale and chic decor. Great for those special occasions. Had our informal post-engagement brunch here. I've tasted one of the best lobster dishes there for dinner. If you want seafood in the city, this is great contender.
