Cold food, fajita came out cold on a white plate and not on skillet. They were out of beer. Took them about 45 mins to get bread. Awful experience

Ambiance is ok. Baby showers and high school graduation lunches were most of the guests when we were there. Brunch menu is so-so. The quinoa bowl is more of a porridge and not fluffy which was a no go. Service was slow, but maybe do to short staffing and the protests outside. The drinks were decent and food was ok.

I think it was a nice dinner...good service...music too loud...also on my bill was a $2 plus change "service charge"....it's not the two bucks, it's just the idea of including such a ridiculous charge.

Our food was delicious. We had the octopus, ceviche, watermelon beet salad, shrimp stuffed chili rellenos and chicken soup. Fabulous. Our server was sweet but slow (place was pretty empty). He May have been new so I don’t want to ding him hard👍 We will definitely be back

Wonderful experience! My boyfriend and I had a reservation and were pleasantly impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was outstanding as well, and the fact that everything was at a reasonable price made our experience much better. We will definitely be coming back in the future.
