Everything was great, besides the server. She was nice, but shouldn’t have that many tables to take care of. I was sitting 30 minutes before she came to take our drinks order, then waited another 30 minutes so she can come take our dinner order. From two hours we were there, she came 4 times and that was because I had to have the guys that serve drinks call her. She never came on her own to ask if we needed anything. I don’t know if she’s new, but she should definitely not have too many tables at the same time. Otherwise the food was great like always, since I’ve been there a bunch of other times.

We really had a great time at Mamajua Cafe , the only thing that didn't like was that it doesn't have an official dance floor , it's a shame because the music is great . All we could do is dance near are table. But over all we really like it here.

The place was really nice , but the food wasn't that great. Also I was expecting at least a small area to able to dance but no dance floor at all, if you wanted to dance you just had to dance next to your table or anywhere there was room it's a shame knowing the fact that the DJ was playing excellent music.

I have been to this restaurant 4 times. Twice during the lounge after hours and twice during brunch. This last time I visited the food was very good as the first time. However, the service not so great. The initial hostess was very nice but I found it very odd that we could not chose where to sit when the restaurant was almost empty and we had a reservation. It seems as this place caters to large groups even if they are not present yet to be seated. Brunch is advertised for 2 hours and given the lack of “available” seating we were only able to be seated in a table for 1 hour. Upon paying our bill we asked one of the servers if we can sit in the patio and the waiter went to check if there were available tables and he came back to inform us there was a table available. So we went out to the patio and asked for an additional chair. After sitting for 5 minutes we were asked to move because the table was reserved for another party and that another table can be set up for us. Wouldn’t it make better sense for a new table to be set up for the party that has not been seated yet? The entire situation was very embarrassing and I cannot believe a restaurant would treat it’s customers in this manner. It clearly show a lack of etiquette in their part and I will no longer be visiting this establishment.
