The food is good, now, why is it good? I didn’t ask for their light menú. Do they have one? Ask them. The dessert, drinks, mysic, and DJ were all good.

First time here, and the entire atmosphere was great. The food and wait staff are above reproach. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant to you and yours. Like me, with safety in mind, the outside seating is perfect.

Food is ok. Staff is not overly friendly, but welcoming. Service was slow, price for brunch was $27.. I think the brunch is overpriced. Some of the food was fresh and tasty, others were stale and flavorless..I wont be going back any time soon . The best item was the smoked fish . The worst was the dry chilaquiles and the scrambled eggs that were almost crunchy on the edges.

I was a little disappointed, we came for dinner. The greeting was very nice. Once the server came he asked what to drink. We ordered the dinks and it took them a while to get to us. It was only 3 of us and one was a child. Finally we got our drink, we ordered and it took them more time. There were other people who got attended better and were given bread. We WERE NOT given any bread while we waited. Once he seen we were done he said oh I’ll go get you a box for your leftovers. Forgetting to get my daughter ice cream. We were not even asked if he wanted dessert or coffee or anything else. Very Disappointed Failed to mention the mushrooms were watery not sautéed at all no seasoning. ALSO if you are NOT a REGULAR you will not be attended the the RICH MEXICANS.

This place never dissapoints and the service is always on point. This evening I ordered a tamarindo martini and the short rib risotto, which was delicious. Some other dishes my party ordered were fried calamari, tacos gobernador and the arrachera and everyone enjoyed their meal and we finished the night with churros.
