    Better this time around. Service just seems slow here. Food is pretty good, but better if served hot and with all the fixings.

    First time here & wasn’t impressed. The service lacked - our server had low energy & would disappear for a long period of time. Food wasn’t anything special, plus it was cold. Portions are small for what you’re paying for. Wanted to like it here but it was a let down. Wasn’t the best experience.

    Service was very good, they forgot one item we ordered but brought it out after asking again and removed it from the bill without even asking.

    I wasn’t in a hurry but I was ignored at the front door several times by the host (even after overhearing the manager direct him to check in with me as I had a reservation and they were in a wait). After being sat, server approached quickly and took my drink order. My dining companion showed up and the server took her drink order as well, then became busy and didn’t come back for food orders. Manager approached us to see if we had ordered and sent her over shortly afterwards. Food was slow to come and all three of my dishes were cold/room temperature. I could forgive the slow service; they are clearly understaffed and training, but food wasn’t on the table until 8 for a 7 pm reservation and then it was cold. Very disappointing. The Chile mango margarita was good

    I ordered from the lunch menu and got charged full price. It then took the manager 30 minutes to fix the bill.

    Our experience was so amazing! Our server was the best - we arrived yesterday around 3pm and sat on the patio. The manger was nice in bringing our drinks and everyone was super kind! It was a really nice ambiance because we were the only ones on the patio. The host also was very inviting when we came in! Great STAFF!
