    Amazing birthday dinner with my husband! Service 10/10 and food was delish. DJ created awesome vibes, love the decor and ambiance. Only thing I would recommend is to have a cashless option to purchase hookah.

    The food was overall good, the ambience was nice. Our issue was with the service, our waitress was so busy flirting with the guy at a table that we never received the waters we asked for when we were sat. The place was pretty empty, but she just kept hovering over that one guy, well after his party was gone. The drinks, the food all brought out, we reminded her about the waters but she would say yes and then go talk to the guy at the table. She didn’t check on us for nearly 30 mins after the food arrived,By which time we’re needed to go Boxes, which she never brought. The busser came to clear the table and we asked him again and he returned with them. If you are going to add 20% auto gratuity at least make sure the service is there.

    It may just be ignorance on my part and if so i apologize. I assumed when you order tapas they typically bring them out one or two plates at a time. We ordered six plates and they all arrived at the same time. This resulted in cold food for a third of our order. There may have been some confusion when i told our server to bring the order out in any order the kitchen seemed fit. Food and service was excellent otherwise.
