    The food was excellent but they needed a couple of more waiters. It took a long time to place our order and get our apps and entrees.

    This is definitely a special occasion restaurant, and I really wanted to impress my favorite niece after our Christmas concert - TSO! Kitty was awesome!! He's been there for a few years he knew just how much to bother us, and how to help us navigate the menu. We did the classic tasting menu and it didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit set our Christmas off to a great start! And the host, Alexis, was amazing!!!

    The Clementine salad we shared as an entree was refreshing and tasty. We both had the chicken stew “pollo guisado con arroz” from the “abuelo” (Jose’s grandparents recipes) and enjoyed it immensely the service was prompt.
