As always, the food service and atmosphere was wonderful, the acoustics do not have much sound deadening materials so it can get loud however, last night the conversation level was pleasant.

Food was really good. I had the shrimp and cheese tacos. The service was not good. We had to ask for everything and our appetizer came at the same time as our food.
