Our waitress Jasmine was wonderful. She had offered great recommendations and patiently answered our questions. The only negative comment would be for their wine selection. Many were unavailable/out of stock. Price for a house cabernet was very high. Sean Hernandez the manager was very inviting and we had pleasant conversation. Thanks
