   Our waiter Alejandro was wonderful! It was my dads birthday and he went out of his way to make my dad feel special. The crab dip and bread were delicious. The rest of the meals were okay. Our chocolate cake was amazing!

   Food was more convoluted than described. Very noisy with one guy belting out songs, badly. Good service.

   why allow me to make a reso at 11 for breakfast if your breakfast menu isn’t available at 11? I came for the breakfast menu, not lunch. Extremely disappointed. The food was good but it wasn’t what I wanted. The service was excellent, but again, I came for breakfast not lunch…with one vegetarian/pescatarian breakfast option. That’s the first and last time I come in.

    We booked a reservation for Mother’s Day brunch, but when we arrived we were told they no longer “offer that menu”. We had to eat off of their steak dinner menu instead. I was one of many frustrated patrons. Server was great though; wasn’t his fault.
