    Our server was fantastic, and the ambience was great. Unfortunately, they were out of several things on their menu, which limited our choices. We did enjoy the food, however.

    Our orders of the deviled eggs were good, but we only got three for a table of two. Then we both got the Huevos Rancheros, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a different take on the meal and was very good and nicely executed. I ordered a coffee with Kahlúa, which caused a lot of problems because my girlfriend also ordered a coffee with alcohol -but a different kind (Jamaican coffee) and it caused confusion and they never brought cream and sugar. It’s just became an event that didn’t need to. Then we got free birthday cookies cause it’s our birthday celebration and hers was raw on the inside, so I have to say mixed reviews but I was sincerely looking forward to the occasion and honestly, I would probably go back bc the meal was good overall.

    Some in our party felt the food was excellent, others just very good. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, and they let us sit for a bit after we were done eating. A little on the expensive side, but not too bad.

    We had the guac and deviled eggs to start both very good. Cocktails were nice also. Food came out for only 4 of us one order was late and one seemed to be forgotten. The kitchen seemed very busy but this is always an uncomfortable time as the ones who get their dinner have to decide whether to eat or have the food get cold. Once everyone had their food it was enjoyable.

    Had a lovely lunch!! Love this place because they can make most items gluten free and it’s safe for my celiac daughter! Their French fries are amazing!
