The reservations were down but they welcomed us in. It wasn’t busy plenty of space. Our waitress was awesome and the other servers as well. As they came by to serve very helpful with our questions. We will be back. I was really hoping that Danny Trejo would have been there. But it’s okay we’ll be back awesome food awesome service thanks again.
