    Service was terrible, server failed to recognize birthday despite reservation notes and mentions to them. Server asked if we were ready to order, 4 people said no and server started taking order anyway. Server didn’t explain the menu, didn’t ask if we needed anything, did not stop by to check how the food was, did not come back by table after we were served. Two people were not served exactly as they ordered and three people ended up with chewy overcooked beef. After dinner someone put a desert menu on the table and didn’t even acknowledge us or say a word about it.

    Beautiful setting; delicious food & drinks; wonderful service…Noise level, though, was off the charts! The piped music was WAY TOO LOUD. Had that not been the case, it would have been EXCELLENT in every way!

    One of our favorite places! They rush you out and are quite pushy about it, which sucks. Just don’t go here if you like to take your time at dinner. But food and vibes are 💯

    Poor quality ribeye steak- overcooked. Enchiladas were way too spicy. Manager never came to our table to apologize for inconvenience.
