    * The place was busy, and everybody was in good spirits. Perhaps enhanced by the holidays. * Cocktails were nicely executed, although a bit overpriced. * Appetizers were mediocre (calamari seemed frozen, monkeybread was whatever, fried shrimps were so-so, and smoked octopus was good. * Rib-eye was all fat. *The Tomahawk as expected, was nothing great but an overpriced Show. * The "free" donuts are a tacky marketing gimmick. * Coconut creme brulee was amazing. The waiter was great (Horacio I think was his name)

    Service was awful. Server lacked professionalism. It was business dinner and I was embarrassed in front of the client. No beer selection/ out of stock of any decent beer. We had to ask 3 times to get spoons for desert. Drinks were taking a long time and holiday drink didn’t come as described in holiday ornament!

    The service and ambience were great, but the food was lacking. We came here last year for a business holiday meeting as well, and there has definitely been a degradation across the board in the quality of the food presentation.
