I had the pleasure of celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday with a group of 14 friends. We planned the event months in advance to secure a space. We selected the prix fixe menu for our large group and the food and service was exceptional! I would like to thank Maria taking care of our group! Maria made us feel valued as restaurant guests. Maria was extremely kind and professional and went about d and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Also, Christian the manager was great! He did an amazing job managing the restaurant and his mezcal flight presentation was top notch! The fire dancer was an exceptional touch and added excitement to a great evening. She took the time to greet our table and took pictures with our group. The food, service and ambiance was made for a memorable evening for my wife’s 50th birthday celebration! Keep up the good work! Last, but not least, special thanks to Daynah at group reservations for helping me get everything scheduled with the menu and seating arrangements. Daynah was so helpful and responsive to my emails and requests for information. Awesome job!

Service was a comedy of errors, food was fine just took a long time and dishes came all out of order. Probably won’t return.

Service was good, beautiful decor but the food was extremely salty. The only dish that wasn’t over salted was the calamari. Also, the spicy margarita tasted lime lime juice and tequila, not spicy at all.

The ambience is very cool, but that is about it. Food is mediocre, and not worth the price.

Not worth the words to type. Service (meh) confused kitchen, lackluster birthday celebration (depressing song), good drinks, no one in restaurant, Taco Bell food with champagne prices. Tres leches cake was dry - but on the house (thank you). Management needs to figure out how to best serve clients and work with staff. Attitude reflects leadership.
