As usual, afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge was amazing. The food was tasty and the service is always top notch (you feel cared for and important). The piano music is beautiful but maybe because of the way the lobby is designed it can sound kind of loud and you have to speak louder to have conversations.

Our experience was amazing from the time we walked in to the time we left. They really do value the customer, I asked one gentleman where the washroom was and he escorted me all the way there. Our waitress, did not catch her name unfortunately, was outstanding! She introduced us to a new wine, and was very knowledgeable about the wine! They even offered my partner and I a complimentary dessert for our anniversary! Will definitely be returning!

Great experience at Tacotaco! Our table was ready to go when we came even when it was busy, the staff were wonderful throughout, constantly checking in on us and providing suggestions as it was our first time there. Food was AMAZING - specifically the beef birria and jerk chicken tacos as well as the jalapeno poppers. Will definitely be back, good to know they have a happy hour!
