Met here for an early birthday for my mother who lives in Oklahoma and we all enjoyed the setting and overall flavor profiles of the dishes. The pastry cart is a nice touch.

A little less music volume in the place would make it more enjoyable. The service needs some structure. Drinks came late in the middle of the meal. And it was not crowded. The fish tacos were very good as well as the Cabrito and the guacamole went a little too much lime. The Chalupas and the Tacos were just ok. It could do a lot better.

Beautiful ambiance, especially if you sit outside along the river. The restaurant was quiet where you can hold a conversation and tables are well spaced, so you do not hear others conversations. The value of the food was mediocre; however, you’re paying for the scenery. The service was excellent. My party and I went in the evening. I will definitely come back for brunch soon.
