Visiting a friend in the Vista area. They just had a baby so we chose to do the take out option so we could eat at the house. Placed my order over the phone and was pleasantly helped by a Lady name Paige. Paige was fantastic, friendly, inviting, and professional. Pretty much idoled how you would want your hostess to perform. We got an array of dishes to include apps, full entrees, and desserts. Checked out the bathrooms while I was there and they are multi-use bathrooms and were clean at the time which is always nice. When we got all the food to the house I felt like everything was packaged and sealed well. Food was still warm and enjoyed by everyone. Really enjoyed the parmesean fries, they had a touch of truffle to them which Ive always enjoyed. The chocolate lava cake was exceptional. My Ribeye was cooked really really well.(i ordered medium rare and it come out perfectly) I marked the food overall a 4 for two reasons. Its hard to be perfect but these guys came dang close to it. The two things I noticed is that while my Ribeye was cooked perfectly, there was no seasoning or flavor to it. When grilling a steak, you are going to want to cover it in slat, pepper, and garlic powder at a minimum. And then the Pork Chop was pretty dry which means it was over cooked. This is quite common in my opinion because they want to be sure its cooked thoroughly but and they pull it out when it is, but it will continue to cook with residual heat leading to a dry Chop. Again, overall impressed and would go back on service alone. Multiple members of Staff stopped to check on us while we were waiting for our order to be finished. Pretty ambiance inside and well decorated. Would recommend.

This restaurant has the best service I have ever experienced. Everything was so efficient, the wait for food was less than 10 minutes, not just one waiter or waitress serviced our table, it was at least 4! Not sure how they did it, one of them always showed up when needed. The food was good too. We were happy with what we got. Definitely will come back!

The food here never disappoints. Hubby had steak and he he says it was dinner perfectly. My salmon was deeelish! Service and atmosphere always great. Of course, to top it all, the Urban Gypsy band led by Mychael Moaze provides fantastic entertainment. Looking forward to another visit even though it is a long drive for us.

Very nice outdoor patio setting. Our Carnitas had about 20% fatty pieces, hence only 4 stars. Flavor of the remaining meet was good.

Good food. Great service. Live music! The only negative (and it’s a personal preference). The live music was very good. But for dinnertime, it was a little too loud. There were 4 people at our table and it was difficult to hear conversation.

This place was great date night place. We spent our 9th anniversary here. The food was amazing. The staff treated us amazing. The pear Flatbread tasted so savory. The steak was cooked well and the vegetables were so tender. They also had live music which was so great for a date night.
