    Disappointing. Been here a number of times and always a good experience. Fish wasn’t good, music too loud for a 7 o’clock dinner. Asked for a different table to get away from door to avoid cold and couldn’t accommodate. Server was ok. For the price, not even close to a good value.

    Good food, but for the price, I should be allowed to stay at my table for more than 90 minutes.

    This was our second visit. First one great but this one way greater. Manny very professional and knowledgeable. Gave amazing recommendation and all were spot on. Definitely will be returning. This place is very good for any type of occasion, even to impress someone because of how great the food is and even better the service.
