Great service, our host was warn and showed that she wanted to take good care of us. She had many tables so service did get a lil slow at times but not anything too unreasonable. Food was a hit or miss, fries (?) and seafood were great, my friends did not like the chicken tacos. Fun atmosphere for sure and wonderful music selection!

Open Table allowed me to book a reservation on NYE, when I arrived the restaurant said they were not serving dinner and not accepting this type of reservation, they never cancelled my reservation in the Open Table app and I could not make any other reservation at a different restaurant for the night. Please train this place to use technology and know how to use the OT app. This was very frustrating on a major holiday evening when many places were fully booked.

Went here for a business dinner. Didn’t realize how loud music the music was and how hard it would be to have a conversation. I found some of the food that was recommended (tostadas, steak) to be very oversalted. We told the server about a dietary aversion and they didn’t even try to address it in some of the dishes that came to the table. Drinks were pretty good though.
