    Wonderful dining experience. Second time I’ve been in 30 years and it’s as good as I remembered! Food was exceptional and service was on point!

    A bit pricey for a dish of chicken, sausage and rice but very tasty and fun vibe. Had the garlic shrimp (which was delicious) and had to remind our waitress a couple of times about the bread (essential for the appetizer) but overall good place to dine.

    Waitress/female server was extremely inattentive and slow and like whatever....gave us a can of beer and said glasses are out, omg...she could not just walk over and get bread for our soup. It just wasnt good. The food was very good. But, wish we had the guy with the tattoos on his arm and glasses. She was nice, but couldnt be more indifferent and more inattentive. That sucked.It was our anniversary. 45 mins to get 2 simple drinks.

    Excellent food! Sweet service. Nice wine and good cocktails, and comfy seats on a shady sidewalk. Perfect casual summer dining!

    Food was excellent but the service was less than expected. Would have liked to have ordered another sangria but couldn't get my waiter. I asked another waiter, and got the response "I'll let your waiter know" still nothing till we finished our meal. At that point, we just got the check and left.
