   Slow, inattentive service overall. Drinks very slow to arrive because bar was backed up. Correct silverware items were not on the table when the food was brought out, so instead of being able to eat we had to stare at the steak … then also stare at the dessert. Cornbread flan was super-dry and flavorless. Beautiful interior design and fun music, but the stress wasn’t worth the money at all.

   Went their for the Valentine's fixed priced menu. Bar was not staffed appropriately making every drink a full one course late which also meant we actually didn't finish them because at one point they just brought them out. Not good when you bring out Prosecco with half a glass of pinot noir left and it allows the Prosecco go warm. I don't think I'll go this route again and will order off the menu. Noise is ALWAYS very loud and you must be prepared which is why I never come with anymore than one other person unless we sit on the patio. We have tried board dinners and large group dinners and it is not conducive to conversation more than the person next to you. It could be addressed if they put acoustic materials on the walls and ceiling to dampen and would still fit decor. Wasn't impressed with the artichoke dip - not much flavor; had to put the green salsa in. Soup was ok. A bit bland . Steak at medium was more like well-done and I only ate half. Cheesecake not flavorful. With that said, I enjoy their margaritas and most of their starters. Therefore, when I go back, I'll definitely remain with ordering my usuals.

   I used to love going here, we use to come about 2-3x a month but moved further away. We came to celebrate after an event, when I came in I asked for brunch menu they stated they don’t physically have one anymore but they will just tell me about it verbally. I asked was it the same as before we mainly just wanted pancakes and mimosas on that menu but will order lunch on other. She confirmed they still had the mimosas I asked about pineapple basil she told us about a strawberry blueberry one we agreed to get that one, and get my 5 year old a mock version of it. I’ve come many times for $6-7 mimosas during brunch so I was not happy that they were double the price. A mimosa should never be priced as a cocktail or we would have just ordered cocktails, or the other mimosa flavors. Heck my son’s mock tail was $12 its just soda water and fruit juice. Unnecessary up charges, we know when we come for dinner we’re going to spend $200-300 because we’re normally doing libations, lamb, branzino, etc. But for a simple brunch we should not be paying almost $200 for 2.5 people, that ordered a few items and mimosas. I always came and set up the usual people who have served us for years and they would never taken advantage of us because they know we take care of them and frequent the resturant however this time sitting with someone newer I just felt like we were just a quick transaction.

   Had my valentines reservations for 10pm took about an hour to be seated, once finally seated we waited for a server to at least take our drink order. Ultimately waited 2 hours for nothing finally ruining our night. I’m sure the restaurant is great but the ball was dropped last night.

   Service was not up to par. This is the second time where the waitstaff is too busy and distracted to take care of us.

    I want to preface my review with - my server was fantastic. She never let our water/tea glasses become empty. -Music was TOO loud for a lunch service. Business meetings cannot occur here. After asking to change the music volume, the atmosphere became inviting. - Doors weren’t unlocked till 1105. My reservation was for 1100. As a former service industry employee (server, bartender, manager) that lack of readiness was evident. -Both the chicken & brisket tacos were dry. The meat was overcooked. The accoutrements lacked the complexity of an acid to bring out the meat’s flavor. As a celiac, I was excited to have Tex-Mex food. I was disappointed and regret dining here.
