    This restaurant is a happy place for me. We always enjoy their food offerings on top of a great customer service. Ambiance is also good and food is fresh at all times.

    Wences is always great. Only thing that was a slight bummer, ordered mussels and at least 6 of them did not open. There’s no way they didn’t notice that as they were serving them. The oysters, hamachi crisp and scallops were awesome though. We love this spot and will be back!

    We had a lovely outside table. Service was excellent. We had an entree split in the kitchen charged extra but totally worth it! Food was great as always.

    The only issue we had was the bread that we asked for the table came refrigerator cold with brick hard butter. I called the server over and pointed out the issue and she said they served their bread cold and butter had to be refrigerated. She came back with slightly toasted bread with the same ice cold butter which you could not spread. I suggest Wences looks at other quality restaurants that serve bread and butter at room temperature. The entrees were very good.
