    Price , quality and pace of service. Not too busy during my visit thence the pace of service was 10-15 minutes wait time from order to receipt of meals (appetizers and main) and drinks. Good quality is on par with what’s expected at the chain restaurant, El Patron. Warm and tasty. Price was as reviewed by previous patrons- at average for the meals listed on menu. Will revisit— relaxed ambiance

    Similar problem to what others posted. Food took foreveruo come out. One order for 2 people at 8:45pm when the restaurant was not full, took over 75 minutes to arrive. Food was warm and tasted fine, but we were eating at close to 10pm.

    Last night they had an issue with their kitchen staff - despite this, the front of house staff service was very good and considerate on such a busy night. The decor and ambiance is very tasteful & well done. I will definitely go again!

    Everything was great, meals were served hot and got to enjoy. I just wish presentation was better. The plates made it seem like it wasn’t a high end restaurant. The waitress we got in the front door was very rude to crew members and seemed upset over the restaurant being busy. It is Valentine’s Day so should be understood. Overall had a well experience.

    Food was very very good. Arrived 6:15 and food finally delivered at 7:20 and it didn't appear that busy. One server came over and apologized for the long wait. A lack of attentiveness but will go back again as the food was really good.
