Food was excellent. Sangria was THE BEST but they only had enough for my friend and I to have ONE glass! They said they were out and we were the first customers of the day!!!! That was disappointing. Wait staff was quite nice and knowledgeable about the menu but had to wait what we felt was an excessive time for check then again for check to be processed. Overall great evening however.
