    This was my first time lunching here. Dined here for dinner multiple times over the years. Lamb sliders were delicious! Sweet potato fries perfectly cooked with yummy sauce. My daughter had the blackened salmon tacos, which she loved. Our waitress was friendly and had good knowledge of the menu. Only issue was not refreshing my drink as requested but she did offer to make it "to go" as I was closing out the bill. All in all, dining experience was very enjoyable.

    Diverse menu to meet everyone’s needs at the perfect price. I had the Chicken Rollatini. Highly recommend it! Live music added to the experience of sitting outside on a beautiful patio. They kept us toasty warm with heaters and warm tea on this chilly night. Our server was attentive but not overly intrusive providing perfect, friendly service. We arrived early to walk around San Juan and do a little shopping before dinner and took advantage of the nightlife in the area after dinner. It was a very nice date night.

    Food and service were very good. I wish the meat options had different side dishes than just serving the same side dishes to both (cowboy steak and filet mignon). However the noise level was extremely, difficult to have a conversation. The indoor seating area was full.
