    We went on a very hot Saturday for lunch and sat outside in the patio area, which was lovely and remarkably pleasant. The problem was that lunch took forever for the 6 of us. We didn't order appetizers and waited over an hour for our main course, two of our dishes went to the wrong table so some of the party got to wait even longer. There was no bread or anything to eat. The manager comped an ice tea and lemonade plus a desert, which is why I gave the service 2 vs 1 star. The food was decent but not worth the wait. I won't go back anytime soon, which is a pity since the setting is lovely.

    Wonderful atmosphere and delicious enjoyable food. Service was a little slow but given it was a beautiful day and the atmosphere was so pleasant we didn’t particularly mind.

    Awesome place! With ambience & excellent service, I will definitely go again. Greeted nicely to be seated. I didn’t get her name, but she accommodated us to the table we wanted. Table with both the sun & shade. Our service staff, Jose , was very attentive and polite. Made our birthday celebration memorable. Thank you!

    Took my mom for a treat for a quiet garden. Food was great and initial service was very according as usual but this time server was not as good as expected. Double charged for a drink, waited for it to be fixed, no apologies and no pen to sign the bill. Maybe pre-added 20% tip is not a good idea.
