    We’ve been there before once and food was great but not sure what happen this time!!! Service was extremely slow!! Food was so bad.. extremely salty !!! Caesar salad was overly drenched ed in dressing.. its feels as if I’m eating a whole dish of salad dressing… Weird scallop dish… scallop was like brine or something.. it was brown and texture was off.. weird looking scallops was sitting on top of a whole dish of corn and chorizo … not sure what’s that about… ingredients doesn’t go together.. plus extremely salty!!! I as if I can substitute asparagus for other veggie the chef said NO.. what if I’m allergic to it… Enchiladas was extremely salty and that gross red sauce!!! Taco meat was good but the tortilla was horrible it was soft and soggy!!! This experience was so bad that it really turn me away!! I made a reservations for Xmas eve but had to cancel it… for the price that I spent .. I would enjoy it elsewhere!! If food was good I don’t mind paying for it but the food was lousy. On top of food being horrible… our waiter Jose is extremely great! The one star is base on food!!

    Hostess was not at all pleasant and friendly. Our waiter didn’t understand or have the answer to our questions we had about menu items. Sea Bass and lobster potato puree was my favorite. Will probably not be back here again.

    Delicious food and service was great. Not a quiet atmosphere but not very loud either. We had the oysters 7.5/10 calamari 8.5/10 and the enchiladas 9/10. Would definitely return.

    Overpriced for what you get. Place is loud do to music playing not because of being busy or customers. I got the waygu top sirloin with Maine lobster tail and it was mediocre at best.
