We have eaten at this restaurant countless times and have NEVER EVER have a bad experience. I believe our server, Mundo, has waited on us a few times. He does a great job. The food was awesome! We love this location.

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.
