    Fun atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive, but there was a long wait between appetizer and main course. We let him know we needed to leave at a specific time for a show. Ended up only having about 10 minutes to eat our main course. My enchiladas were doused in green sauce that was lukewarm. So the whole dish tasted cool and undercooked. Disappointing. The wedge salad was good. But the name is misleading. It’s really a gem said with a green goddess like dressing. Liked it but if you were expecting an actual wedge that this not.

    Cam provided great service. Food was flavorful. I enjoyed the Baja fish taco more than the main dish. Very nice, intimate restaurant. Not too crowded. Very pleasant experience.

    Crown Cantina knocks it out of the park yet again. Crown group is easily the best group of restaurants in the city, and Cantina is beyond outstanding every time. The fact that they can elevate a humble sweet potato into my favorite dish kind of says it all. The smoky black beans and chunky guac are stars too. Service was literally perfect - attentive but very chill. Kudos to Crown Group for continuing to make it obvious that your staff loved their jobs and their menus!
