    Drinks ordered right when we were seated took forever to arrive. One was cancelled and the other showed up with the check after the meal was over. Service was poor as well.

    Went with a group of 8 for brunch and to watch the Super Bowl. Food and service was great as always. However, that will be the last time to go to watch any event. They had the music going at the same time as the game which was louder than the TV’s. Had to keep asking them to turn up the volume.

    The staff goes above & beyond. When the manager on duty found out this was my first time, she escorted me through the buffet explaining all the stations. My server was sensitive to my needs and came to my table often. The fresh tortillas & ceviche bar were my favorite, but the omelet bar was top notch as well.

    It was a great evening celebrating my sister’s birthday. There were a few hiccups but they were quick to fix. So accommodating and a wonderful evening.

    We had bad service… the waiter never came to check on us, we had to keep calling them for refills and to order. We had nothing to drink while eating and had to ask for refills and waters as well but didn’t arrive until after we finished eating. We also had to wait and ask for the bill, which took long as well. Appetizers were delicious but the dinner food was okay. The Sunday Brunch I think is better!
