    My husband and I had a lovely dinner! Right as we were ordering, our server let us know they were shorthanded and that was slowing things down. She offered to buy us a dessert- which was very kind! Drinks were yummy (they even have Mexican Coke!) as was our food. Some of the neighboring tables were a bit loud- but not so bad as to really disrupt the meal (and certainly not in the restaurant’s control). The only real drawback is the restroom - which is outside the restaurant and up a flight of stairs (and requires a passcode). Otherwise - a great meal!

    Very friendly and attentive staff. The staff was knowledgeable about wine choices and supportive about acquainting us with the beautiful and comfortable environment. Especially enjoyed the calm ambience and frequent show of smiles from the staff. The food was excellent. We enjoyed not being overwhelmed by too many choices as this has been something we frequented at Thanksgiving Dinner buffets in Santa Cruz CA. More is not better. The quality of each food selection was fresh and bursting with flavor while presented carefully. We tried all the meat items, including the salmon. Wonderful tasting we all agreed for all the meats and the salmon was amazing. Thank you Cielos for a wonderful tasting Thanksgiving dinner with an environment sustaining conversation and delicious tasting food.
