Though I was thinking the Terrace was well above 2 stories, it was very good food and reasonably priced. Service was also good.

Food was very good, but it took over an hour to get to the table and our drinks (including water) sat empty for over 20 minutes. It may have been poor staffing level planning as rock and roll marathon crowd seemed to be a bit of a surprise.

Bartenders had the most chilling personality. No smile just a drone type hello that greeted us like she wanted us to leave. Quite bewildering. Was charged $15 for s Michelada when a draft beer cost ten. Also very strange. Cool space the terrace was nice but the service left a lot to be desired. Food also took 40 minutes for a burrito burger and eggs. Subpar

Easter ‘brunch’ wasn’t a brunch. It was you either order an overpriced waffle OR omelet - Each for $20-25. There was no brunch where it was a mixture of things. Glad they let you order off the regular menu. And- no refills on coffee without asking. Twice.
