Birthday & Celebration Central
Girls Night Out Approved
Trendy Table Hotspots
Outdoor Dining Oasis
A riverside, party-forward mariscos room built around shareable coastal Mexican seafood, tequila-driven cocktails, and a high-energy rooftop/patio scene. The best ordering strategy is to mix one composed hot plate with one chilled seafood item, then finish with a larger shared platter so the table doesn’t skew all small bites.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lobster empanadas, Piña rellena (stuffed pineapple with octopus, lobster & shrimp), Build-your-own mariscada platter
What Makes it Special: Coastal Mexican mariscos with a waterfront, nightlife-leaning rooftop energy.

Birthday & Celebration Central
A polished Creole-leaning room that mixes seafood-heavy pastas and starters with a cocktail-ready, date-night pace. It lands best when you commit to one signature seafood dish and one shareable starter, rather than ordering across the entire menu’s mix of surf-and-turf options.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seafood trio pasta, Fried lobster tail, Salmon egg rolls
What Makes it Special: Cajun-Creole flavors channeled into seafood-forward comfort dishes and cocktails.
