   The entire experience was amazing! Our waitress Alicia did a perfect job explaining the menu. The soup amor was unreal as were the mole dishes and the dessert!

   Everything about this restaurant was perfect. We had a cocktail at the bar, made according to our taste by Gerardo - perfect. Then on to the cozy dining room. Alycia was an amazing server - expertly explaining our options, describing the dishes and drink pairings and working with the kitchen to manage the flow of our 9 course degustacion menu. She was the perfect mix of friendly and professional. Each of the courses was absolutely delicious and some dishes just mind blowing in the best possible way....the first course dessert was a symphony of flavors that you would never think to put together but Chef Olea worked his magic. Other standouts were the Sopa de Amor (another artful mix of flavors), the colossal white shrimp and the pork belly with roasted corn tortillas. And the front reception, kitchen and floor staff worked seamlessly (and unobtrusively) together - perfect.

   The food and service were very good. The drinks are very overpriced! It was $22 for a margarita with very little alcohol in it.

   The food is absolutely incredible. I have not one negative thing to say about that. We participated in the tasting menu. We've done a lot of these (everything from French Laundry and Fat Duck to others). Sazon tried to do something we've never seen--every table participating in the tasting menu was served at the same time. Maybe this works well for them normally--but in this case there was a 10-top. And, unfortunately there were some loud, rude & vocal guests at that table. They even mocked the way Sazon did its service. Unfortunately, that impacted our table. Our dinner was over 3 1/2 hours (9 courses). The service was slow and variable (due to that large table). It ruined everything. Sazon should have done two things: stopped trying to keep the synchronized service after the first course or two. And, they should have offered us a partial refund.

   Sazon was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best Moles I've had in my life. The servers are well trained, friendly and helpful. Every single course was delicious with new flavor profiles. The chef makes the rounds to each table to greet guests which was a lovely touch. I 10 out of 10 recommend.

   Had a wonderful experience at Sazon. It was our anniversary and we were served complimentary sparkling wine along with a card which said Happy Anniversary from the Chef. Chef Fernando Olea walked all around the restaurant and talked with the diners. I am vegan, and the staff treated me able to a vegan mole, a light vegetable soup, beets with a spicy sauce and a main entree with tofu and vegetables and spicy sauce with pine nuts. My husband enjoyed his sopa del amor and Chilean sea bass. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant!
