We are locals and they obviously don't rely on repeat customers. Lobster quesadilla appetizer arrived at room temperature and before we even got our cocktails. Server seemed uninterested in our comment. Drinks were okay, not great and food was the same. WAY better Mexican around town. This is a hotel restaurant so don't expect much. Quality control issues need work!
