    Our server was great. She deserves 5 stars. Unfortunately the restaurant itself is subpar. The music was so loud it was like a club. Because it’s so dark and many can’t read the menu, there were lots of phone lights on and caused disruption across the entire restaurant. Very disappointed and won’t go back if this is the ambience you are going for.

    Our server, Karina, was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. We told her we were celebrating Mother’s Day and she made our dining experience very special. The food was amazing and the experience matched.

    I scheduled a happy hour patio reservation at 4pm. My friend arrived and doors did not open until 4:05. The patio was not set up. Not a big deal. They seated us and when we asked for the happy hour menu, we were told we would have to move to the bar to receive the happy hour menu…in an empty restaurant. I was shocked that as the only two people in the establishment, we were told we could not utilize the happy hour menu unless we sat on uncomfortable stools. I guess I would understand if they were busy but there was maybe 6 people there the whole time we were (4-7). I have never paid $200 to sit in such uncomfortable conditions. Also, I’m wondering how they are not embarrassed to settle guests and then have them move across the restaurant. I will not be coming back

    Food was great. Service was just OK especially given that the restaurant automatically adds 18% gratuity to every check (and taxes it too). Ordered the tuna tartar and the chips that go with it came to the table 5 minutes later after most of it was consumed.

    Would have given 5 stars for service but they supposedly have a strange policy in which they only allow one drink per patron at a time at the bar. My friends were running late and I was not allowed to order them a glass of wine to be ready when they arrived. I found this a bit weird.

    Great atmosphere and good service! However, was really disappointed that the short rib quesadillas were taken off the menu. This was my favorite menu item and honestly the main reason I came. If you go to Yelp the short rib quesadillas are listed as the number one food item. Not sure why it was taken off the menu?
