    Loved the Mar y Tierra dish. Lobster tail had a really delicious garlic sauce. I would even dip the cut of filet minon into the sauce.

    I forgot that they redesigned the restaurant and they did such a good job. It’s beautiful, the service was great. Prices are high, but I will say the service held up to the prices and so did the food quality. Our server knew when to talk to my friend and I as we were busy catching up and enjoying a good meal. Everything came out quickly and was delicious.

    The food quality has declined from the past. Overall, it was a pleasant place with nice staff and ambience. This culture of servers rushing to take your plate is ridiculous. Literally few times the sever asked to take away my plate while I was eating the food.

    Made reservations month in advance, they tried to stick our table in the waiting area! Than sat us outside in the cold with our 75+ year old guests. They than told me that everything on the menu is precooked with onions and they couldn't get me anything unless I wanted fish. So everything is apparently pre-made and they couldn't accommodate me. Ruined my wife's birthday. Will never go back.
