Came for lunch, ambience was very quiet just a handful of tables taken. Sever was very helpful and answer all our questions about the food. The food was delicious, my favorite dishes were; the shrimp tacos and the lobster rolls. I like that they are small sharable plates that way you can try different plates from the menu. The drinks were really good, good selection of tequila. Definitely planning to come back again maybe for dinner next time.

Pre paid $480 for dinner, was seated in the bar an hour and a half after our reservation time. Finally got an outdoor table after being questioned and having to show email confirmations and bank statements multiple times yet still being told I was wrong. At 11:30 PM they finally gave us one small plate of steak to share and seasoned iceberg lettuce for us 4 and one plastic cup of champagne each. I was charged $550. Caesar was very nice, same with the rest of the serving staff.

Waited outside in cold for 20-30 min before opening (very unlike a 5 star hotel expedition); service was sloppy, unchecked, and uncoordinated. Food was good but was ruined by service and operations.
