    Very busy on a Saturday night. Checked in and were sat around 15 minutes past our reservation time. We didn’t mind waiting as there were many large parties waiting as well. Hostesses were nice but never apologized for the wait. Good service and food so overall not bad.

    Street tacos are great. Drinks are good and served in larger than usual glasses. Live music was a great addition. Friendly staff and good ambiance makes for a great date spot.
