    Wonderful experience at this restaurant! The waitstaff was super friendly and helpful with seating preferences, menu choices and accompanying my son’s birthday! They sang and made it a truly memorable experience! The food was absolutely delicious and unique. We will make this a staple visit on our visit each year. And the decor and ambience is gorgeous! Happy family all around!

    Food was amazing the spot we've got was ok but the table was to small. Was bit hot last night we were seated close to the booth. Service was good in the beginning, then we lost our waiter. Appetizer came right away it was really good. I came for the octopus taco but no octopus. So I ordered steak taco instead was realy good. So we've waited for a while for the main course. I've asked for salt but the waiter was gone, so I asked the host he brought it right away. We ordered a drink and I took so long so we canceled the drink and paid the bill. It was hot so we decided to leave a soon we finish dinner. Can't blame the waiter probably you guys should get extra waiter on special occasions. I recommend Patio the food was really great.
