    Service was lousy. The waitress told my girlfriend and I to order all at once by the time she came back to our table again so we didn’t get a good chance to really look at our options. And the waitress never came to check on us after dropping our food. The bussers were great though as well as the ambiance.

    During Lent, I had to go for the Vegan menu. Unfortunately, I couldn't indulge in any seafood or other dishes, but I absolutely adored their potato fries (I forgot the name). The drinks were enjoyable, but to be honest this place is a tad pricey. On a Friday night around 10:30, I noticed that everyone was starting to head out even though the place stays open until 1 am. It felt a bit dull and almost everyone had left. I prefer more lively spots, especially on weekends when they have shows and entertainment.

    I made reservations beforehand, was greeted at the front door . We walked in hostess  seated us right away . Waiter came recommended popular dishes . we had 4 different appetizers and 3 different main courses and dessert and everything was delicious and wonderful . The drinks was delicious , food was freshly made definitely will be coming back again . I suggest making reservations before it gets really, really busy and the place is pretty big . It’s where La masa used to be .
