    Booked a party of 10 to celebrate 3 birthdays on a Tuesday evening. The service was very slow. We were there for almost 4 hours and most of us were only able to get 2 drinks. Listening to techno music all that time also began to become painful. The guac was bland, with no flavor at all and part of our dinner was cold. Either way, we were having a great time within our own company. My cherry on top was when I approached the host booth for help, there were 4-5 employees huddled, to take a pic of our group and after asking a couple times because they couldn’t hear me, I was treated RUDELY. 2nd and last time there.

    I truly wanted to love this place because of everything I had heard and read about. From the moment we got there, we were told we couldn’t be sat if the rest of the party wasn’t there, which I understand, however after we sat with our full party, we saw other tables being sat with just a few of their party members, so the inconsistency was present from the get go. Upon arrival we were greeted by our server, who set down two full bottles of tap water, but never poured it into our water glasses, so we had to pour it ourselves. We were asked for drinks right away. Drinks and app orders were taken, an extra app was dropped off without us ordering it, which our server apologized for. We were then asked if we were ready to order. Once orders were taken , not a single empty glass, dirty dish or anything needed to be cleared by a busser or server was ever removed. I had to ask a gentleman who was not our server to please clear all of our dirty app plates and silverware. Our dinner arrived in segments and the guest of honors dish was not the correct one. The server had to be flagged down and made aware of this issue. She apologized for the mistake and everyone had their food but the birthday girl. There was never a moment where we were asked if we wanted another drink nor our waters filled by a server. The food was great but everything else was lacking. For a restaurant who requests a deposit of $10 a person, to ensure accurate reservations are made on our end it seemed there was not much done on their part to assure their servers are properly trained in greeting guests, watering them , pre-bussing the table and ensuring order accuracy as well as proper table maintenance. 18% was automatically added to our check and that just seemed like another way to ensure the sever is being taken care of but at this point you have to ask yourself if the restaurant is doing anything to ensure guests satisfaction from the most basic of requests, water, clean table etc.

    I come Here often so I was excited to host a girls night. A few of us ordered the frozen margs and they came melted. I sent it back and it came back the same way! For the price of it, I could have ordered a drink on the rocks. The food was great as always and the waiter compared to other times I’ve been was just average.
