I’m not sure if the waiter was new but he made an error with the order which is fine but when we asked him if what he sent to us was the said item we ordered he said yes. It actually wasn’t. Another waiter came around and helped us to correct the mistake. This happened with 4 items. We saw this happen to the people next to us also. Overall ambience was nice and decor is very nice. The food options are limited for people who don’t eat much meat but decent.

Honestly, don’t really ever write reviews. But this was just a really bad experience. We made a reservation for 6 people, even had to put a card down to hold, we show up, the table is only set for 4 people. They made us stand for 10 minutes, waiting for more chairs, but were then told it was a sold out night and they were seeing what they could do (mind you the place was empty). Finally they bring over chairs and didn’t address what they had told us before. We then had to hussle down a waiter. The order taking was the weirdest thing, the waiter seemed like he wasn’t getting the full orders, asked only half of us how we would like our steak cooked. My boyfriend a minute after the waiter left called him over to change the order, and said it was too late since it was put in. (As someone who has worked in F&B knows within the first 5 minutes, we should be able to change the order) but no problem. The food comes, the food runner yells out skirt steak, so the person takes the plate. Little did we know, it was not the skirt steak but the strip with mole. How was the person suppose to know it wasn’t the skirt when you said it was?? One person didn’t even get his meal till 15 minutes after the other plates came. The waiter was then called over, and we were basically blamed for taking the strip, as we should have known. The person did not like mole, so just asked to take it back. And even apologizing to the waiter (what customer should apologize for staffs mistakes?) the manager came over, brought churros to apologize, but didn’t really fully understand nor care about just the incredible horrible service we had. They still ended up putting the skirt steak on the bill, and added automatic gratuity 20%. We still would have tipped, but 20% that’s insane for the service we received. all in all if you wanna waste your money, then we would suggest coming to this place. it’s truly so sad how much money we spent, and how horrible it was.

Owner Danno has done it again. As always the staff is warm, welcoming and accommodating. The place is beautiful as well, with really cool half-moon booths! Food and drinks on point.

The food and service were excellent. Loved the atmosphere and layout. They did turn up the music a bit after happy hour. We like places where the music is on but not blasting so we can hear our dinner companions and have a conversation. Will definitely go back again!

I recently tried this new restaurant that took over the space where "ArchieGrand" used to be. The new decoration and ambiance are impressive, but I was disappointed with the service and food prices. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait for a while before getting any attention from the staff. All the waiters seemed to be at the other end of the restaurant chatting amongst themselves. I even had to raise my hand a couple of times to get their attention. The food was average, but the prices were quite high compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area - $17 for 2 tacos, $45 for fish, and $22 for very small tostadas. I'm not sure if I'll go back, but I hope they can improve on these aspects, as it seems like there are quite a few issues with the menu, service, and food prices.
