We left feeling like we had been robbed- we were charged $1 more on every drink than was stated on the menu. We were asked if we would like rice and beans with our entrees and it turns out that is additional $9. We received no refills on chips salsa or tortillas. When we arrived to a nearly empty restaurant with a reservation they tried to seat us in the back by the restrooms. We will never go again.

We were sat by the front door, but asked to move because it was too windy and cold and they accommodated us. We ordered our drinks and one of the drinks didn’t arrive until we asked for it. We ordered our food and received the food in a timely matter and the food was very good. Our server had two very large tables +3 other tables and wasn’t able to give us the service that we should have gotten. At one point we sat for 20 minutes, waiting for our plates to be taken away. Overall, we like the restaurant and the food. We just wish we had had better service .

The Ambiance is so unique! The retractable roof is so cool, and the thatched roof is it detail that's stunning upon entrance. The food was excellent, the spicy margarita was insane. I wish I could have tried all the tequilas they have. The service staff were super attentive.

Variety of food and drinks on the menu. Food was good. Service was not great. Our waitress wasn’t too present. She might have forgotten about us. Did not refill our waters. We got drinks at our table before our meals. We didn’t see our waitress until after we finished our food. Some of us decided to get drinks. When she returned, she returned with a wrong drink.

Overall, the experience was okay, but it was noisy, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. On the top of that, the server interrupted our conversation almost every 10mins just to ask, ‘u good with everything?’ - that felt quite intrusive and unpleasant. As for the food, it was so so.
