    Walls painted black!!!! May be chique, but dining room looks cold and dark and sterile. At least they could fill the room with large floor plants! WHO designed it??? Food was good, but won't go there again, unless it's to eat outside.

    The food was terrific just like that of the mother restaurant, MAMBO. Only issue was the service. Our waitress was very good, but they need more staff...especially people to bus the tables.
