First time at this restaurant and probably be the last one. Waiters were super nice but the manager was super mean and rude. We sat down and didn’t get any water for 15 minutes and my husband has to get up 4 times to request a waiter. Manager in duty didn’t say anything or ask for anyone to help us. Not good at all!!!

Their food and options for thanksgiving dinner were very good. Only bummer is that they ran out of the flan which was very good and some other desserts were out too. They had very good kids options: fruits, tortilla chips, milk, chocolate milk, cereal, gogurts. Staff worked really hard and the restaurant was very busy even though it was thanksgiving day.

Excellent service. Food was good but seemed they had some difficulty restocking certain dishes. Understand included tip, but do not like surcharge. We did NOT see anything about this when we made our reservation. And even though we made a reservation almost a month in advance, one of the hosts thought it was OK that we wait for a table. Luckily, they found a nice one for us.

What a treat for a thanksgiving. No cooking. No cleaning. And an option that is not turkey or ham for my adult children that have to consume more than one meal today. Great option!!
