I like this place. Good music. Food is good. I was there during happy hour and the bartender was going to charge me $10 for a Moscow mule. The happy hour menu said $5 vodka drinks so I showed him and he changed it to $7 cause he needed to charge $2 for the ginger beer? Is that right? If happy hour is promoting $5 drinks are we supposed to be charge different . Other then that. Had a great time and met some pretty cool ladies.

The brunch buffet was lackluster. The food was overcooked and cold and they had very inexperienced employees working. One in which had an entire waffle iron drop on the floor. And the mariachi music was way too loud to even have a conversation with anyone. The worst brunch I have had in awhile. The only saving grace was Israel the bartender who was attentive and personable and made sure to keep my glass refilled.

I had lunch here a couple of times and I really enjoyed it the place was clean, good food and wasn’t too bad on prices either. Most of all the atmosphere was relaxed and the service was not too bad as the staff seemed pretty friendly and attentive. They could do better on some of the pricing but just a tad. **** stars and A .

Don’t waste your money. $7 bottomless, kinda worth it even though you have to make your own drinks after the 1st round. $27 for the buffet? A joke. Almost everything was cold, a few things were just barely warm. Options were mid. They weren’t ready at open – no plates, no silverware, not all the options out, took 10 minutes+ to get served the first mimosa. The ribs looked terribly dry & tough and there was no sauce around so we didn’t even attempt to eat them. The only redeeming quality was the bacon that came out after at least 30 minutes of us being there and the made to order waffles that eventually started being served. I’m a young person, I usually don’t have huge problems with a place staffed by other young people but this was seriously lacking. It seemed like all the employees on duty today were teenagers without a clue. We watched a long line form across the street at first awakenings and we wished we had tried that instead. If they let you come for mimosas only, do that then eat at first awakenings. Won’t waste my time coming back for any other meal here.

Went here for buffet brunch and it was an absolute joke. All the food was cold the staff in charge looked like they would rather be anywhere else and the food we did try to eat had no flavor and tasted like it was leftovers from nights before. I would give negative stars if possible. You will be better off going to a hotel for the free continental breakfast. At least at a hotel the food might be warm.

If i could give zero stars i would. DON’T GO HERE unless you want to pay a pricey entrance charge just to be harrased by security. They have too much security and all of them almost wanting to have confrontations. My friends and I were ALREADY LEAVING since one of our friends had a little too much too drink- i was DD and was sober. Mind you my friend was just being silly and wasnt causing any trouble. We decided we were leaving and that she just needed to go to the bathroom. This short female security followed us into the restroom and through the room towards the stairs. We were CLEARLY leaving and when I asked her why she was following us (incredibly close too btw) she got confrontational started to yell and even put her hands on me just because I told her to give us space and that she didn’t need to follow us because we were clearly leaving. Than a slough of like 10 other security swarmed us because they clearly didnt have anything better to do, like you know, make sure people were safe. (I saw a girl fall because the floor was wet and NOT a single security officer approached to see if she was ok even though their was about ten in the room.)It looked like she was trying to get into a fight to the point that another female officer had to get in between us and calm her down. Nope, not okay to treat people like that, especially because we didn’t cause any trouble at all.
