    We had a lovely meal. The food was fantastic! Our sever was friendly and attentive. I had the scallop skewers, cheese potatoes and house veggies. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. My daughter had the filet mignon. She loved it. We shared crème brûlée for dessert. It was just ok. Overall a great experience.

    I thought the lasagna was not very Italian. Too much meat and a good Italian tomato lasagna sauce was missing. Fresh made sauce from esp Heirloom tomatoes seemed to be missing in action.

    Had a great time here. We never felt rushed or under pressure to order something. Chips and salsa came right away and were delicious. We ordered the "grande" margaritas and were disappointed when they came, they seemed like regular size to me. Then our server, Stephen, came and told us that he messed up and would be giving us a free refill. Problem solved. We had the guacamole appetizer and honestly it was probably the best guac we've ever had (and we have it a lot). Our entrees were equally delicious. I had a basic taco salad and my wife had the fish of the day, salmon, and both were fantastic. Not sure what it is they put on their food but there's something that kicks it up a notch from other Mexican restaurants. We were there during the "Festival of Lights at the mission and everything lit up as we were eating making it even more festive. Prices are a little steep for me but were expected.

    I made reservations for a family Christmas brunch. We were immediately greeted and sat by the hostess. Drinks were great. food was good and the place was fairly quiet so we were able to enjoy good conversation and our time together. Service was excellent. Will go back again.
