I feel adding more breakfast items to your Sunday brunch would help boost business. Only offering one breakfast item doesn’t make much sense to me.

The food was cold and the rice tasted like carrots. The tamale had a weird tomato taste to it that was not pleasant.

Not sure why this place has so many good reviews. The service was super slow and they barely came around to refill the "champagne". Food was mediocre. Tasteless and bland. I would have much rather gone to Ang of the other restaurants in old town and it would have cheaper and more fun. The view was the only nice thing about this place.

The view is really nice. The meal was inexpensive. The food was meh. We tried everything at the buffet, but for one reason or another didn't est much of it. The cookies were burnt, the fruit had flies, the beans were chalky, the enchiladas were cold. The chicken was hard,. The kids mostly ate tostada shells and dried out brownies. The staff was super friendly.

We had a reunion of friends that had not seen each other in over 30 years. The minute we walked in we were seated in our reserved table and served with champagne Our glasses were always served and our waitress ensured that we were taken care of the entire 6 hours that we were there. Our waitress Alice went above and beyond to keep our glasses full so we never went thirsty. Thank you Alice and we hope that your management can recognize your hard work!
