    We arrived at our reservation time (5pm) and were forced to wait >45 min for a table, at which point we were not seated, so we left. Several people who arrived after us were seated with no reservation. Very disappointed as we’ve been coming here for years with no issues.

    For over 15 years, my go-to restaurant for good food and delicious margaritas (brunch/lunch/dinner).. Recently, I'm disappointed by the very loud cursing clientele after 4 pm. The atmosphere, once energetic, is becoming offensive.
