    First of all, this place is absolutely stunning on the inside and outside! The service was amazing as well. However, the food was just open to me. I had to fish with other seafood around it plus sauce, and it had a nice flavor, but it was pretty small and there was not a ton of sides or extra pieces of fish in the sauce. The fish itself was also very thin. I felt like the price point was too much for what you got. I did really love the tortilla soup though!

    Complimentary wontons

    Exilio takes over the old Verde Garden building. I'm always excited to try a new dining experience, but unfortunately this did not live up to my expectations. I'll start by saying service was excellent, attentive without being invasive. Being a newer spot, the owner and the manager came by to introduce themselves and see how we were doing. I also appreciate the refreshed decor. The bar area is beautiful. The mood is just right. And they've got plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Now let's get into the food and drinks. Complimentary wontons and salsa (4/5) - A strong opening. Crispy and balanced Tuna aguachile (3/5) - Ok, not bad, but not remarkable. Did not come with the fried leeks as advertised, which would have been a welcome contrast in texture. Veggie empanadas (3/5) - sounded interesting with the truffle, but was just ok Roasted poblano and corn soup (5/5) - the unexpected standout dish of the evening. Perfect blend of flavors. Hauchinango (2/5) - the snapper itself was bland, but the Veracruz "sauce" was quite tasty. There just wasn't enough of it to save the fish. I had to ask for extra. My rice came out crunchy, but they remade it based on my feedback. It had no flavor, I could barely taste the saffron. The broccolini was the best thing on my plate, which, well, is not a good sign. Brocheta Zarandeada (1/5) - the octopus was mushy and the fish did not taste or smell fresh. Both are unacceptable for this caliber of dining. We couldn't tell if the shrimp was over or under cooked. In terms of flavor, it gave nothing. Exilio Red Dragon (2/5) - sounds good on paper, but lacking an element that would ground it Guava Pisco Sour (3/5) - better than the dragon, but still feels like it's missing and ingredient Smoky Old Fashioned (3/5) - I was excited about the chocolate balsamic, but I couldn't taste it. A standardly mediocre classic, albeit with a smoke show Complimentary dessert (3/5) - they don't have a menu so I don't remember the name, but it was ok enough I'm giving 3 stars to be mindful of the fact that they've only been opened 2 weeks, although I felt my experience was closer to a 2/5. I will return and update my review after they've had some time to get on their feet.

    Grilled branzino and Huachinango à la Veracruzana Suspiró limeño dessert

    This restaurant is beautiful, full of light and a huge patio decorated with draped wisteria all over. Big bar area and separate rooms for private parties. Food was well presented and delicious. Only complaint which was immediately taken care of is that the initial serving of complimentary snack were stale and hard, this accompanied by a nice tomato sauce to dip in

    Wow! The Bari Group has done it again. What a special place. The service is second to none, just like all of the group's restaurants. We loved the food we had and the white table cloths. The cocktails were perfection and OMG!, the Bari labeled wine was exceptional. For me, service is so important. I was not disappointed and LOVE how the space has been redesigned. It is the perfect place to come for delicious food, excellent service while still being casual.

    We were looking for somewhere to go for lunch and we stumbled upon this place. Didn't realize that this used to be a different restaurant until we got here. They are newly open so they weren't busy inside. It was a complete 360 from the previous restaurant that used to be here. I love the elegant decor and I love the pink wallpaper in the women's bathroom. That was my favorite touch as well as the mirrors, heading to the bathroom and the painting hanging along those walls. Let's get to the food. You get complimentary wontons and sausage dip, which was a different presentation, but that's what made us realize this is an Argentina restaurant. We ordered the empanada trio, and the lobster empanada was my favorite. It was so delicious that I had to order another appetizer of just lobster empanadas. I do wish they were a little bigger or at least came with one more. The beef was my second favorite empanada out of the trio. We weren't the biggest fan of the chicken one. For my entrée, I ordered the trio of tacos and they were not skimpy with the lobster meat, which I liked and I substituted the chicken taco for a second lobster taco. The steak taco was also good. For my drink I had the gold margarita I highly recommended. We ended up still being there for happy hour so we got the Exilio margarita that is on happy hour. It was still pretty good, but not as strong as that gold margarita with the Grand Marnier. For dessert we ordered the churro which were stuffed they were better than some of the other restaurants I've had but not my favorite. I would definitely give this place another try!

    Papas bravas

    I have been here three times over the last two weeks. There has been a change in the chef three weeks ago, so he is putting his spin on the menu. Doug Rodriquez is putting his stamp on the menu by keeping some items and changing up some other items. The rib eye tacos and homemade corn tortillas are not to be missed. Soft and tender meat with no fork needed. His rib eye now comes with a blue cheese base -- steak is flavorful but not a fan of this combo. Short rib flautas are interesting as are the potato bravas. Highly recommend the branzino, rib eye tacos, and the skirt steak. As for the dessert -- the churros can't be beat! Service was great two out of the three times I was there, with lots of waiting one time. I'm looking forward to trying out the brunch.

    Caribbean style red snapper
    Kristina C.

    Such a beautiful restaurant. Food was absolutely amazing. Red snapper ceviche was delicious. Seafood rice was the best dish in my opinion, the octopus, sea bass & shrimp were cooked to perfection. GREAT portions, GREAT service. Definitely would return. 10/10

    Lobster Empanadas with a lighter dough than traditional empanadas

    Professional, warm, non intrusive Service is no longer a lost art! It's a huge place so good for large parties. Food: Elevated, fresh ingredients were abundant. Lobster Empanadas were FANTASTIC: layers of flavors including squid ink in the light dough. Poblano soup was delicious and guilt free. Salad was vibrant and fresh. Tres Leches and gelato were tasty. Drinks: sublime and curated even for "traditional ones" I ordered off menu. I hope to return for Live Music on Sunday Afternoons.

    i said it once, i'm going to say it again;…read more i love high quality simple food! district 7 grill is that! as a california native, diner culture is in my blood!! (and tacos, avocados, strawberries, and wine- lol) i never pass up an opportunity to visit a diner. district 7's inside is very "dreamy" and i can see a lot of editorial potential. (if you're into that) but very casual. the food was excellent!! crab cake benedict (8/10) american breakfast (8/10) strawberry milkshake (9/10) red sangria (9/10) great portions + great service = left happy district 7 grill has been added to my permanent brunch list! bonné appétit c.

    ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!! Let this place die like it's trying to. Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

    This place is in a somewhat empty shopping center, and I am saddened that more people weren't at…read morethis place on a Saturday night. They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

    OK, so this turned out to be a surprisingly good meal and much better than we had expected. We…read moredrove into the mostly defunct strip mall, found the restaurant down on the corner, walked in and sat down and then perused the menu in depth. We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
