The menu choices that we saw online were not reflected in the menu in the restaurant. There were very few choices and the chicken tacos that we chose were pretty tasteless.

Absolutely satisfied by the customer service here! We went for Mother’s Day, and from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Our server, Spencer, was an absolute gem—so helpful and on point! The restaurant itself is adorable and spotless, and everything from the food to the drinks came out fast and fresh. It was such a perfect experience—I can’t wait to go back!

Food was good, atmosphere lovely. Service was slow and not very attentive to our needs. We had empty glasses for quite some time. Thee temperature dropped quickly and we asked for a heat lamp, we were told they would check and no one returned. There seemed to be plenty of staff members but everything took a long time.

Food was nice and very innovative cocktail menu. Atmosphere was great although they kept cranking up the speaker that was right next to our table. Didn’t feel like they were reading the vibe of romantic Valentine’s Day. Service was pretty bad. Server was nice but clearly overwhelmed. Never asked if we’d like another round of drinks. Had to physically go up and ask him for our bill (he had his back to us for an extended time) and then still wait another 10-15 mins to get it. I suspect this will get better with more practice. We’ll try again after they’ve established their routine a bit better.
