The service was faultless, the salsa portions were embarrassingly small and the food was a little disappointing and not very tasty. Thank goodness for the Cholula on the table.

I can see why some people would rate it, but it wasn't for me. Pricey, noisy (there was some sort of band playing) and with not great food.

Cool space, food was fine, but I expected it to be better, it was just overpriced ok food in a cool space, with hard to listen to piano music. Ha! It seems like that’s the thing at the Ned, but … might be better in a smaller venue.

A really enjoyable meal, reason for not giving 5 stars was that the food portions were quite small for the cost. Food is outstanding!
