   The food was great. The BLUEBERRY COCONUT MOJITO was AMAZING! Everything came out hot and fresh. We had a great server and an amazing time. The tres Leche cake was not that great for our liking, but I was amazed and how thick and creamy it was.

   Extremely noisy! Extremely LOUD! Couldnot talkto my table mates without yelling. Men's room needs to be powerwashed and deep cleaned. Men's room music volume level made my ears hurt it was so loud! Overall not the Ninfa's I used to know. Aaaand finally the food was marginal at best.

   The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. There was a large family party next to us and the kids (ages 7ish and older) were throwing their drinks and chips on the floor then crunching them into the ground. I wish that the restaurant had said something because it was loud. I got hit with food the kids were flinging from the next table. I love children but wish there had been a bit better control.

   Had a very relaxing evening. Service was always right there when I needed something but never intrusive. Food was fresh, quick and served hot. I had the fajitas and loved it!

   Our server was a little problematic. Not a fan of how they handled them sending out the wrong food. But it was great!! Would go back!

   I must express my profound disappointment with my recent dining experience, as both the service and the food fell far below the expectations one typically holds for a restaurant. The green hot sauce was excessively acidic, likely due to an overabundance of lime in the avocado green sauce, which rendered it quite unpalatable. Additionally, the portions of rice and beans were not only notably small but also served cold, which further detracted from the overall experience. Moreover, the waitstaff's lack of knowledge regarding the menu was particularly disheartening. When I inquired about the flavors of the water offerings, the waiter simply stated, "I don’t know," and walked away without further engagement. It was only upon his return that I received any answers, which felt rather incomplete and unsatisfactory. Furthermore, I was taken aback by the abruptness with which the waiter requested payment immediately after our meal, as if our table was urgently needed. This treatment left much to be desired in terms of service quality. I must admit, my inclination was to leave a zero tip, yet I refrained from doing so out of respect for the hard work that service staff put in, even when the experience is lacking. I sincerely wish that managers would be more attentive to these details, as they are crucial in creating a positive dining atmosphere.
