   Food was delicious. Cocktails were good overall, but some tastier than others. Service was a bit off & on. We had multiple occasions of searching for our waiter to place orders for food, drinks and dessert (we actually opted not to order dessert because our server never returned to the table). However, we had other staff continually check on us, refill water and remove our finished plates. So, most staff was attentive and all were friendly - but service was spotty at times. Might return again. Really liked the atmosphere and loved all our dishes we ordered.

   I loved the live band, waiters did not explain menu correctly.

   Lunch for Cinqo de Mayo was a cauliflower taco. Delicious. Thanks to our server and the chef.

   The food was OK. If we went for drinks and picked up food, I’m sure we would’ve had a different experience - appetizers and small plates were better than their entrées

   Food and ambience were perfect, noise level was also good for me. Only thing was that when we arrived for our 8PM reservation, the only waiter I saw stated they were so busy. Mind you there were approximately 5 tables full and the entire bar was full. We waited 22 mins to place an order, but the wait time for the food was amazing, less than 15 mins. Overall my experience was great, I just did not appreciate waiting to order since I was pretty hungry. Place is beautiful, great drinks, delicious food, and great music.

    It was Valentines Day and they should have made their space more romantic. There was not one balloon to mark the occasion.Nothing.The space is also too brightly lit.They need to dim the lights and the menu is not very extensive.My husband and I settled on a Birria pizza to share and I must say it was very delicious! We were pleasantly surprised.I also had an expresso martini and it was pretty good too. Our server was very attentive and pleasant.In fact the staff were wonderful. I’m not sure if I would come back. Well maybe for the Birria pizza.It was that good!
