    Took my son there last night for his birthday and I must say the three people working last night as the host were awesome. The manager too! We were a large party of 15 and at first we were going to be separate tables, but at the end, we’re all able to sit at tables across from each other. Our shelf was great and the chef that our kids had was amazing. We had Andre as our chef. He was great ! The three hosts and the front I know there was a young girl and two gentlemen. I only got one of the guys names and his name was Andres. I really felt like they were trying to help us and I truly appreciate that! The girl was very sweet and she was happy to see my family and I were able to all sit together. The staff coming out to sing to my son was in all honesty the best. My son had a great time! The manager on duty was direct and up front about wait times and what not and even tho people may take that as being rude, i completely feel the opposite. I appreciate her willingness to accommodate my requests !! Seriously! I must’ve bothered her like 5x but she was always willing to listen and help. Thank you host and manager working 1/3/24 @ 6:30 pm

    We celebrated the New Year with a beautiful lunch at the strand house. The elevator was super helpful for my parents to get them up to the third floor. We had an amazing view and a wonderful time. The food was really great and the service was outstanding.

    Second time eating at Esperanza and food and service outstanding on both times! Super fresh cevices, very flavorful dishes, highly recommend the salmon and filet mignon fajitas but you can’t wrong, they are all good. Not to mention the delicious tortillas and churros or a flan for dessert. They also have a variety of margaritas, mojitos and amazing cocktails to choose from. Fun environment and attentive service. Highly recommend!
