I absolutely love this restaurant. We have one server that’s our favorite. I gave it a 4 for the service because of our last visit. Our server was not very attentive until the very end. I will from now on ask for a specific person when we go.

It was Christmas Eve dinner so quite busy. Our server was professional and the atmosphere was festive. The Apple and Beet salad as well as the Green salad were well proportioned. Everyone in our party enjoyed their selected entrees (filet, miso sea bass, scallops and ratatouille). The mini desserts were just the right size. It isn't inexpensive but great for a special occasion (at least for us).

Are at Rojo tonight. Was quite busy and thus very loud. Server was busy, but got us drinks and took our order quickly. Great food. The enchiladas were served in a mini skillet—they were excellent. We all enjoy the fresh chips and salsa as well.
