    Calamari was burnt, rice on entrees had hard uncooked pieces that broke filling in tooth. Manager made us feel like we bothered him when we told him about the rice. VERY POOR! WILL NEVER GO BACK!

    Food was great, it seemed like the kitchen was overwhelmed and struggled with getting orders out in a timely manner. But our waitress was very attentive and made up for it with great service and thanked us for our patience.

    Waiter was nice, but unfortunately the frozen Margarita machine was broken and so I wasn't able to get the drink I was hoping for and the regular Margarita on ice was sub-par.

    I will say from order to table kitchen was a little slow. They were out of a few items that were listed on the menu. Things (premium sodas) were not available which was surprising. I think their bar should be well stocked if we are to pay $9 for a soda.
