Treated my wife to a day date. From the moment we walked in, the hostess at the host stand was welcoming and our server Jordan was outstanding with his recommendations. I had the Chicken Parm with the vodka sauce and my wife had the blackened pork chops. We both were surprised at the large portions. The ambience was very inviting. Our only negative review would be the dessert. We wanted the chocolate cake fondue to be warmer and we thought it was too rich. We couldn’t finish it. It was delicious but way too rich for us. Overall, great value, tasty menu and great service. We can’t wait to go back.

We had a great dinner at Te Deseo. I made reservations before a concert at AAC and it was an easy walk from the parking lot and then to the concert. Our server and the manager were helpful in picking items for us to share. The charred octopus and the fried rice were our favorites! The cocktails were great and we enjoyed the ambiance. We all agreed we’d come back, especially prior to an event at AAC.
