He had a great recommendation of the Malbec (Zuccardi) wine, which we were given a huge glass of. Would go back just for that wine. Best bite of the night was truly the Rockefeller Oysters, which come with a fresh biscuit but Kyle made sure I had the saltines I really love with them. Those were *eyes roll back in your head* REALLY good, especially for the quality of the cheese. Second best was the Blue crab pasta, which used local crab, but I think average flavor overall. Great portion and loved the capers but, didn't get the depth I expected from shallot and white wine sauce. I wouldn't get the salmon gyros again, even as creative that combo sounds the salmon was overwhelmingly not fresh and there wasn't enough tzatziki to cover it up. We loved the toasted naan and fries. Kyle told us the staff loves to get the salmon gyro but with fried chicken instead, I may try that next time. Overall a fabulously efficient and positive vibe from every staff member I interacted with, could certainly come back and eat another dozen oysters.

We arrived, sat ourselves, only ones in the restaurant. The servers were so friendly and the food speaks for itself. Our drinks were stiff and delicious and we had fun looking at all the different things on their menu. "Eclectic" certainly describes this place. From rabbit, to elk to bison to kangaroo. We all tried the kangaroo (Aussie frites) albeit chewy, the flavor was good. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, even their ketchup. We all enjoyed our meals, the "kid-cuterie" was adorable and they do have pizza, for those not as adventurous. My elk burger had duck prosciutto, so good. My husband had one of each patty (elk and bison) and the wild boar soup. My new go to when people are visiting or future date nights

Unfortunately, our waiter was extremely rude throughout our meal. I'm not sure what his issue was, but his attitude made the entire experience unpleasant. Overall, the food was good, but the service lacked basic manners and communication. I'm vegetarian and also have food allergies, so clear communication is especially important to me. I need to understand exactly what I'm being served, and the restaurant needs to understand my dietary restrictions. I asked our waiter what came on the cheese board (Plateau de Fromages), and his response was simply, "It's a plate of cheese." I found that very condescending because I obviously understood that, I had specifically asked what was on the cheese board. Regardless of having dietary restrictions, I think a majority of people would know what comes on the cheese board given there is no information on the menu. He eventually told me it included three types of cheese, candied pecans and nine-grain bread. However, when it arrived, it also had crostinis, apples, a strawberry, and some type of Jell-O-like item that appeared as though it could contain gelatin. None of those items were mentioned when I specifically asked what was included. We also ordered a crepe to try, which was good. My husband ordered a dish that he enjoyed, and I ordered the Plat d'Oeufs. When ordering, I clearly requested over medium eggs and asked for the sausage to be placed on a separate plate. He responded by saying, "so you want eggs and sausage"and then asked what type of eggs I wanted, so I assumed he hadn't heard my request about the sausage and repeated it. He cut me off and said, "I got that. What type of eggs do you want?" His response felt unnecessarily dismissive, especially since I was simply trying to make sure my dietary restrictions were understood. When my food arrived, the eggs were over hard and almost completely cooked through. I politely explained that I had ordered them over medium. He responded, "Oh, so you want them softer?" I said yes. When he brought the replacement eggs, he made another unnecessary comment, "You wanted them "over easy," even though they were actually much closer to over medium. The food itself wasn't bad, and I certainly wasn't blaming our waiter for how the eggs were cooked, he wasn't the person preparing them. The issue was his attitude and the unnecessary comments throughout the meal. What could have been a nice dining experience was ultimately overshadowed by service that felt condescending, dismissive and unnecessarily rude. In the photo you can tell the egg was not cooked over medium. It was cooked all the way through.

Our son has named the Wagyu Burger as one of the best he has ever had - in his top three burgers of all time.

All of the flavors were delicious - I need to figure out how to do - because we live in DE and won't be able to come back until next year - but we will! Britney's suggestions for the Pork Shank and the Octopus were right on as well. Can't say enough about how amazing that meal was. Finally a note about the team as a whole: it was obvious that Britney had most of the tables, but every person on tonight pulled together and worked as a team to make sure the food got out hot and on time and no one was sitting too long at any point in their meal! Of note - make a reservation!! We should have - not because it took long to be seated, it didn't. But we know better, reservations help restaurants know how to staff and otherwise prepare. We promise to make a reservation next time - because there will definitely be a next time. Our crew has even already decided what they will order next time! THANK YOU for a phenomenal experience!!

First and foremost our server Bella was fantastic, she was so personable and ran through the menu with us even offering suggestions. The restaurant itself is very cool, it's definitely more upscale Mexican and the food more than met that standard. I had the 4 enchilada plate, they are stuffed with delicious chicken and at Bella's recommendation I did 2 with their homemade mole and 2 with the homemade queso, both were excellent. My wife had the cauliflower dish and really enjoyed it, it's not something she gets every day and the flavor really popped, great vegetarian options at Vochas. We had the Maracuyá Tres Leches Cake for dessert and it was next level tasty. Next time we come visit we'll definitely drop by again for an outstanding meal.

We sat out back on the deck which overlooked large trees and a lawn with picnic tables and things for the kids to do. I was pleased not to see dogs all over the place. That's a turn off to me.

Well, this is where things fell short. As we walked in, we had 4 adults and 2 kids, under 3. We came in to celebrate my mom's birthday. The hostess took a look at us, and instantly looked irritated. Like ugh where am I going to sit these people. She didn't know where to sit us and asked the manager. She was absolutely rude, didn't even acknowledge our presence and also just looked irritated. My mom asked about a specific larger table and the gal rudely said we keep that for 8 tops. Okay fine. No problem. So they out two - two top tables together and sat us there. Very tight, but we made it work. It just made us feel unwelcome. Even better, right after they sat 4 adults with two kids at the table we requested. Luckily, our waitress Jasmine was WONDERFUL and so kind. She helped turn the evening around and made it less awkward. That's why we kept 4 stars instead of 3.

RSVP are definitely suggested since walkins are usually in Bar area or Patio area .. which isnt bad .. but its limited seating .. Staff here are cool but service can be a lil wait if they are busy .

The Ceviche is a must get ... yes get the Quattro which is 4oz of each one so you can sample all ! The scallops and pork belly of mash is pretty good but would be better over the coconut rice . The special of the day was a sheepshead filet over risotto which was pretty damn good ! The corvina was ok but was a little bit over done and ended up a lil drier than expected. Highly recommend asking for the homemade hot sauce ... its amazing and goes on everything! This is definitely a locals Hotspot and an interesting place to people watch... Will definitely comeback for sure .
