    Food was amazing, ordered the shrimp tacos and wagyu beef tacos. Ordered another shrimp taco because I thought I would need another one but three was perfect. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend for a fun date night.

    Server was great. The food took a long time to come out considering there weren’t very many people at the time.

    We waited an hour and a half to get our dinner. It was my son’s 21st birthday and he was really looking forward to this restaurant. The portions are small, however the food was quite good. Service was terrible. We tried to get our waiters attention several times and he would just walk by or try to quickly leave after we would ask for something. To get a drink and an appetizer it would be more worth it than a large dinner party. I wouldn’t eat dinner here again.

    Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience. The ambiance was nice, roof top patio. But the service was very slow and inattentive. The food was over seasoned, it was my understanding that it was a new menu so maybe still needed adjustments. Had high hopes, but didn’t meet the bar.

    Ryan our server was amazing and very accommodating. We didn’t expect them to have much for vegan options but he tried his best to make things work for us and also made sure we had a pleasurable and comfortable experience on a colder night. He was amazing and everything was great.

    Our service from Aricelia was great! Everything we ordered was delicious and they even provided my husband with a birthday dessert and drink! Great views and ambience too! We’ll definitely be back.
