Had downtown plans and went here when they opened for Easter Brunch! Food came out quick and fresh, and the drinks had a ton of flavor. Not an espresso martini person, but this one included Latin ingredients and was very flavorful! Make sure to get an order of the chips with any dip, for they are a necessity. Service was amazing! If you are parking in cityscape underneath the plaza, be sure to bring your ticket to the hostess and they will be able to waiver the fee for 2 hours!
