Ben Michaels is very personable, a great cook and delicious margaritas! We enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to him while he was cooking. We had vegetarian enchiladas with sweet squash in blue corn tortillas and red chili.
Dessert first--the homemade key lime pie is the best I've ever had, anywhere.
All the food was wonderful, from the traditional New Mexican enchiladas to the shrimp special I had. Even better than the food is meeting Ben, the owner and host. His total engagement with every element of your eating e
I have been here a couple times. The food is great if you don’t mind a smaller menu. Anything that’s on the menu is good and pay attention to the specials. They are tasty and fresh. Lots of the ingredients come from the owners garden and other local producers. The service is great if you don’t mind
Very kind service from the Ben - it was our first time there and only after we left did we realize we were there outside of typical hours, but he cooked for us anyway, and man was it good! Everything from scratch and soul satisfying. Thank you!
Absolutely fabulous food. Ben served and cooked, chatted with us, and played some jazz piano!
Jazz is Tuesday night, not Wednesday night as of November 2023.
Also, the opening times in Apple maps are incorrect... this place is open for dinner!
Excellent homemade, individually prepared food; small daily menu of what is fresh. Private venue, casual. Interesting and welcoming owner/chef who played incredible Blues in the piano. Near Old Town. We will return. One-of-a-kind. Cash only.
This is not your typical restaurant experience! This is an escape for great food, lively conversations with new people and fun music! Thank you Ben for sharing some history and stories, fabulous food and drinks and the blues serenade (that was much needed as we had just dropped off a son at college)
This place is jammin!! And the food is as authentic as it gets! If you're looking for a good time and a "home-type" of atmosphere... This is the place to go! I RECOMMEND COMING ON TUESDAY' for the 'JAZZ JAM'!!!
