The experience, food and drinks were absolutely fantastic. The only thing I should’ve asked for was to sit at a different table instead of right next to the only other party on that side of the restaurant. But most likely it was because there were just two of us. The most important things were great

We have been here a few times now and every time our experience has been 5 stars. From the valet to the dessert! Tonight we had the refried lentils, Caesar salad (a must have), the El Machete and the absolute best chicken dish we’ve ever had! The service is over the top too! If you haven’t been here, treat yourself and go!
