Food was disappointing overall, lacked flavor. The quesadilla was horrible. Drinks were poorly. made. Service was slow, drinks came more than half way through the meal, and we had to ask two - three people for anything we needed before someone helped us.

Food was bland, patio was dull and lifeless. Most importantly, check was presented via card terminal to the entire table so that everyone was able to see the cost of the meal - very poor taste, I've never seen that before.
