    Latin themed bar/restaurant experience with nice outdoor seating. Service outstanding, small changes to menu item were “no problem”! They started us with homemade chips and salsa that were perfect. Chicken with rice and burger were great. Tortilla soup was delicious and flourless cake ala mode was a clean plate! Very casual with fire pits on the table.

    Really not very good. We waited almost 10 minutes to be seated and then had to go fetch a server (after being at the table for almost 15 minutes with no one even glancing in our direction). They brought us chips 2 minutes before our food was served (having realized they’d forgotten to, after the folks next to us were given chips promptly upon sitting down). Two of our main meals came 8 minutes before the other two. The arroz con pollo was salty and the fries tasted underdone And all for a very expensive price. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

    Perfect casual dinner for our anniversary. The fire pit was perfect and the chef treated us to an excellent dessert! We’ll be back!

    Dinner for 6 celebrating son’s graduation. Seated early, beautiful view, sumptuous appetizers and great fajita. Everyone enjoyed their dinner, all the way to the flourless chocolate cake and after dinner drinks.

    It was such a beautiful evening, so the ambiance made the food taste even better. But the best part was our server, Siena. She was so easy and personable, yet professional with her level of service and attention. :)

    Excellent! The food, the cocktails, the service were truly top notch. Make sure to try the yucca fries and the fish tacos.
