It was frustrating. Next time we will skip Curio and just do the show. Too much stress. The staff should be well informed!

I had to use my flashlight to read the menu and couldn’t see my food as well as I would have liked. The food was very good, some outstanding even. Especially the birriadillas. The service was a bit amateurish considering the prices. The server and busser had to be stopped on no less than 4 occasions from taking away our drinks/plates that we weren’t finished with yet. Once was forgivable. Four times was downright annoying. Not sure if I’m done yet? Ask!
