    Amazing! Would be a great location for bridal showers, baby showers, or, like us, just a nice light lunch of tea, small bite sandwiches and delectable desserts! Not to mention the melt in your mouth, brilliant artwork chocolates! Highly recommend!

    We grabbed lunch while vacationing with a 1 p.m. reservation on a Tuesday. The view was spectacular, and the booth seating was comfortable. I could tell the servers were struggling, but not for a lack of trying. When our waitress got to us, we asked for water and ordered our appetizer. The appetizer came before we had plates or water brought to the table, so things were just awkward. My salmon was meh, and the carne asada tacos were good, but my husband said there were just too many pinto beans on the tacos. Maybe go for the incredible views and grab a drink while they are slow.

    Went on Cinco de Mayo and it was a full house. The service was on point and the Cali Margaritas are $10 all day on Mondays - great value and authentic taste. For starters, the Ensalada Alejandro was delicious and refreshing - arugula, strawberries, grapes, mango salsa and raspberry vinaigrette - we split that and no problem bringing two plates! Then we had filet mignon tacos - so tender and full of flavor. Their corn tortillas are freshly handmade and are so good. We also had three flavor fajitas - shrimp, chicken and beef with bell peppers, onion, rice, beans and more of those fabulous tortillas. It was my partner's birthday so they brought a warm brownie with ice cream and whipped cream with a big candle. Overall, such a nice experience! We go quite often and they are very consistent with their service, ambiance and delicious food. Love this place!
