   I had an amazing time there, we went to celebrate Mother’s Day, our waiter was really friendly and nice and made us laugh. The food is really good. It was the best Mother’s Day’s dinner we gave to our mother. I 100% recommend this restaurant.

   Everything seemed a little chaotic. Everyone was all over the place. Our food arrived before utensils so we were basically looking at our food, until someone called the waiters attention to notify him that we were missing utensils.

   I had reservations for a window seat. When I arrived the host tried to sit us at a window seat in the very far corner of the restaurant. I explained that I made reservations and would like to be at one of the open booths towards the ocean. She was not happy about this, and told me that that particular section was too busy. I explained that even though we had reservations and this should have been planned out better I would wait. She brought me up front and told me to sit on bench and that it would be about 15 minutes. As I said there were lots of empty tables, she was not happy with my choice, was talking to a waiter and laughing about it… and continued to take her time seating me. It was an uncomfortable and awkward exchange. I had not been there in years, and was very disappointed with the service she gave me, waiter was nice however food was just so so. Nothing I will return for. So definitely overpriced and unpleasant experience.

   The place was packed and under staffed. Three special plates of chicken fajitas and the chicken was super dry. One chicken enchiladas asked for sour cream on the side that never arrived. You could tell the staff was trying very hard but they were just swamped.
