    We had a great time as a party of six. Jordan was our server and so responsive, attentive, and pleasant! There was a party being hosted in their ballroom but we were still made to feel welcomed and our food was amazing. We all got something different and every dish was better than the next. The mini empanadas are always a treat. We’ll be back!

    Classic margarita was very good. Not great tables or comfortable chairs on the patio. Beautiful view, but service outside was extremely slow, like they forgot we were out there. All food off the tapas menu. Could not tell the difference between the pork or chicken empanadas and they were tasteless. No dipping sauce. Lump crab avocado toast was just ok. A little bit fishy tasting. Fried calamari was not really crispy and had a lot of tentacles. Not sure if they saw we were celebrating a birthday (they didn’t bother to check) on the Open Table website, but either way we were not staying for dessert. Not sure what the hype is, but will not return. Apparently they do not know the difference between Tapas Tuesday or Taco Tuesday??? Side note: Advertisement was for Tapas Tuesday but it’s actually Taco Tuesday. This is not a Mexican restaurant.

    Could.not prepare food as requested for a food allergy. Did not offer any suggestions to accommodate this situation. Was seated in doors near a very very loud party. They didn't suggest their out door space until after our dinner was finished.
