   It's a great location with a pretty limited menu. The food was fine and the cocktails were good. I personally didn't like the timing of the meal service. We did not tell them that we were in a hurry, but the service of the food felt rushed, with the cocktails lagging behind. Our salads came out before we got our cocktails. Our entrees were served before I finished my salad, and the cocktails arrived with the entrees. We did not have dessert.

   We arrived late for a birthday dinner for my elderly mother, and Armando and staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly. Truly kind and warm in every little interaction—made my mom feel very tended to and seen, which is not always the case. Armando reminded me about parking validation which I would have completely forgotten. The decor/atmosphere was really cute with the round booths and overhead planters. And our meals were good - both the pasta primavera and fish tacos - and not absurdly expensive. Overall a great option if you’re headed to a show at the convention / performing arts centers right next door.

   Lovely space, close to the CPA. Short staffed. Drinks are pricey. for example -My glass of wine was $21 But it really is pretty and the it's the closest restaurant to the Center for the Performing Arts.

   The fish tacos were very good and the quesadilla was good. They were under staffed on a Sunday night and this made the service slow. However, with a 5:00 reservation they got us out in plenty of time to make our Broadway San Jose show at 6:30. They are almost across the street from each other. Restaurant was very quiet.

   Ordered a bunch of shareable plates and had a really good time! Great place to go before going to see a show at the Center for Performing Arts.

   It started with the host not even to be bothered showing us to our table, he just pointed and said "over there". The waiter came to the table next to us, took their table decor off their table and put on ours with no explanation and left it all there the entire time we dined. The martinis are served in the smallest possible glass and not even 3/4 full and cost $17 each. The pizza had no flavor and the waiter was not friendly. Overall it was a unpleasant experience.

    Beautiful restaurant. So weird but it was totally empty on Sunday afternoon when my group went. Service was okay - food hitting the table was slow. Everything was pretty tasty. Highly recommend the lobster and seafood linguine.
