    Our food was delicious as always but the service was super slow and not so great. We had eaten all the chips by the time our two orders of ceviche arrived and I had to ask four times before they brought another basket. We had drinks and apps before ordering meals, and it took the waiter 45 minutes before he came back for the food order. Also the music was good but SO loud, we couldn’t hear each other talk. Just a slightly lower volume would be much better for everyone!

    Everything about this restaurant was top notch. One of the most impressive aspects of the experience was how a number of times we were asked about the quality of our food/ experience and how the staff there worked as a coordinated professional team. A restaurant staff obviously working as a team is rare to see. We were lucky enough to have met the owner-Tina, and from our conversation she appears to have a leadership style which is respectful and encourages excellence. Many of these staff will do well in the future.
