    The location and restaurant is beautiful. We had reservations but I had to check in multiple times to make sure they knew we were there. The table was arranged in an odd way that was uncomfortable . The drinks were ok, not great. The food was way overpriced for what it was but was tasty. The salsa was tasty but not spicy at all which was odd for a Mexican restaurant. The service was not great. The waiter dropped a knife on my toe, never apologized or picked it up. Pretty place but I will look elsewhere when I’m in the area.

    Loved the Ambiance and the whole vibe. Service was amazing and server was super attentive. Never missed a beat!!! Food was great although the sauce for the lobster enchilada had a bit of a bitter taste. Chips and Salsa were on point and the drinks were popping. The tables for 2 seem a bit squeeze in to fit more. A little spacing and privacy would be great. Love it 💕

    Horrible service if you can even call it that. Server didn’t even say hi, just barked DRINK? A minute after we sat down. I said I haven’t had a chance to look and he came back literally 1 minute later and I wasn’t ready. Seemed annoyed and then when he finally came back I told him what I wanted and he goes WHAT? Like sorry it’s so loud in here but I’m not screaming my order. No one ever checked on how the food was, nothing. Just want to get you in and out. I was the most excited to come here on my trip and it was the worst experience for mediocre food.
