    They had three high chairs in the whole place which was shocking considering how big it is. I wouldn’t call this place very family friendly. Food was okay. They messed up my order. The only nice aspect was our server who was very apologetic.

    Just wanted to let it be known our service tonight was not the best but the food was okay. Our server only checked up on us once, didn’t bring my husband’s drink order until he reminded him when he checked on us a good while after our food was brought out (by someone who wasn’t our server), it took me flagging him over to get our check after waiting for him to check in (after observing him *seemingly* just standing around in the kitchen area). It wasn’t busy enough to cause this type of negligence.

    Thank you for joining us for dinner but do sincerely apologize for the lack of attentiveness to the time which you had invested in us. I'll be sure to bring this up to our staff to ensure that we honor our motto of every guest, everytime.

    The fried beef tacos blew my husband and I away. And the Peruvian ceviche was on point as always!

    Food and ambiance were great! We were bummed not to have the crab fritters, but the chicken egg rolls Zack recommended were amazing!
