   For this being my first time, music was very loud and could hardly hear my best friend across the table. I ordered the chicken hot rock and it was bland. The steak was decent. The drinks were good. Overall the presentation of the food was good but not the quality including the cilantro lime rice that tasted like it was from the rice cooker. If you want to go for a good drink and the ambience then this is the place to hangout.

   Great first time dining here. Enjoyed salsa/chips, steak, and strawberry tres leches. I will choose different sides next time, I was not a fan of the rice and beans. Great interior and exterior decor.

   Too loud; food was entirely too expensive; then they add 20% tipautomatically. Tips are earned; not just decided by the restaurant without warning the patron.

   The waitress good service The host (ladies on the front) rude The valet parking expensive and bad service Paid $20 ( no umbrella and walked in the rain) The food is absurdly expensive (chips and pico de gallo for the table?!?!) The place is beautiful but the food was not good Price value doesn’t worth it

   SEARED SALMON was excellent full of flavor and cooked to perfection I paired it with cilantro rice and the seasonal vegetables which were carrots, also the chips and salsa was the freshest I’ve ever tasted from a restaurant

    I thought it was way too expensive for what it is. I got 2 appetizers, 1 beer, 1 cocktail, and the 2 tacos my bill was $150. I got the the tostadas appetizer which tasted good but they were 5 little ones about the size of a silver dollar. I don’t kind the cost of the food I knew going in it was expensive but the portions were a joke for the price. The Biggest issue is If they are going to charge you that much at least the tables and seating could be more intimate. They sit you so close to the other guests that it’s very awkward.
