   The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance—definitely a 10/10 on that. The ceviche was delicious, no complaints there. My lobster tacos had great flavor but were a bit too saucy and salty. My fiancé’s chile relleno and enchilada, however, were disappointing—the sauce was unpleasant, and the chile relleno had an overwhelming amount of mozzarella. Our drinks were also hit or miss—mine was okay, but his was terrible. Overall, it’s a nice spot in a great area, but the food was inconsistent.

   tastes very similar to avilas or javier’s but at double to price point almost. Our waiter was 10/10 with customer service but valet was questionable.

   Great place to try for the ambiance. It’s so gorgeous. We came in for a Sunday brunch, and it was crowded, as I had expected. Food was not the greatest, but the drinks were pretty good. Definitely worth coming for the aesthetic and drinks.

    The food, staff, location, ambience a menu options are great but please don’t charge $4.25 for soda that is 100% flat. If you see no carbonation change out whatever in the machine is causing the terrible tasting soda. Pet peeve for something so small yet uber irritating and laziness.
