    The food was very good however we order fajitas for four people and received one medium sized plate of chicken and steak. The portion was appropriate for two people at most! We were disappointed.

    Came here for lunch with my family after graduation and had such a great experience. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Our server was so kind and really made our celebration feel special — we even got complimentary churros! 10/10 recommend.

    Outstanding food, drinks and service. A bit loud but in a fun way. Prices were a bit steep for this kind of place, but overall a place you should check out.

    Food was fantastic but our server/service was very subpar. For context, there were only 3 of us. We we ran out of water and drinks multiple times and then had to wait for someone to come ask if we wanted more (of course we did, we hadn’t even eaten yet). The food came out very staggered where people politely waited for the table to be complete to eat their food but by the, their food was cold. No one came to give us a heads up that it would be a few minutes, we were just left in the dark. The food then came out incomplete and not was fully ordered. The server didn’t even care to check if it was correct. For a $400 dinner, better service is expected.

    I’ve been coming to this location for close to a year now and have been through several seasonal menus and different servers. I’m not sure if it was because it was a Wednesday, but it felt like the restaurant was trying to close early. We were being rushed out by 9:20 or 9:30 even though the posted closing time is 10. My chips were stale at first, and our server only checked on us twice, once after the drinks arrived and once when the food came out. I had ordered several drinks and a large fajitas platter, so it was disappointing to receive that little attention. Maybe it was because it was midweek, a change in management, or the fact that I present as younger, but it was frustrating after making this a go-to date spot for me and my partner, especially at a place where the prices usually match the quality.
