    Our server, I believe Emelio (hispanic gent with a shaved head) made the evening for our table. He was excellent and did a great job balancing good service while letting us enjoy our time with our guests. Food was good. Drinks were better. A great meal.

    Love this restaurant. We celebrated a birthday, asked for a quiet table, and received it. Food was awesome and birthday treat was scrumptious! Thank you for such a special lunch!

    Our server wasn’t exceptionally great. I had her bag my food and she put the bag on the floor. Food on the floor? Even in a bag, that’s a No No!

    I normally eat here regularly due to good experiences but today was terrible. We had a 1:15 reservation and our server Jack no only had poor communication with us, leaving us with only 10 minutes to order before the kitchen closed but also never returned after taking our order. We had to flag him down twice and when it was time to pay he lied about being able to separate our checks. Additionally, the food did not seem to meet the quality standards I am used to today. Considering the size of our ticket, and my unresolved frustration, this review has prompted me to contact the manager tomorrow to address. Hopefully this server moves on.

    Frequent customer there but today food is below our expectations and experiences. Breakfast potatoes are overcooked to a bit mushy, carrot cake is dry and toasted with no carrot favor, and most of the foods ordered are too salty.

    We had a beautiful Friday evening !! This was the first time having dinner here. I've had lunch on multiple occasions. The Atmosphere was perfect both settings!! :) We weren't aware that they had a patio, but; were able to sit out there and enjoy our meal near the heated lamps!! The Appetizers, Entrees, and Beverages were all delicious! Juan our server, was very knowledgeable of menu options and very attentive to those of us seated in his section. I would definitely recommend this as place to return and invite others!! :)
