The service was great, the food and drinks were amazing. On a side note, we went on NYE and it didn’t seem to slow down service or the server did not seem rushed which was nice.

All was tasty - strawberry margaritas, loaded nachos, fish tacos, avocado tacos. Isabelle was our waitress and she checked with us frequently and was always cheerful. Reminds me of “Lolita Ft. Point” or “Lolita Boston,” but smaller and quieter. Of course, it was still early in the evening lol! Food was good value for the money and I will go again.
