    Food great as usual! Service was the worst ever! Had to ask for tortillas after my food was delivered. They never came back with the tortillas. Then had to ask for everything twice . It’s like we were forgotten in the corner . None the less food was amazing ‘

    We went for “restaurant week” great menu. We did have to ask for the restaurant week menu. It was not offered. Food was delicious. Just didn’t like the “5% surcharge” they added to our bill to help cover costs for their employees. So that means that their employees get less of a tip from us. Overall, it was a great experience as always, we are locals and we’ve been there many many times.

    The atmosphere is great, the salsa bar is probably my favorite part! Food is always really good, parking was easy and we were seated pretty quickly. I think our waiter was over tasked, he was also serving a party in the back. I had to ask for a refill of soda from a different waiter. My mom didn’t get her tortillas until it was time to check out. We were never attended to, not even a how is the food after we got our food but the endless chips and salsa bar saves this place. I will be back again just for that.

    Service great! Food was pretty subpar. Lobster roll was brutal. Lobster was dried out. Roll was toasted black and the fries were cold and flimsy. 2 mains 2 drinks & one side. $130. I’m never going back

    Our waitress was awesome, very attentive and jovial! This was an expensive dinner considering what we ordered; however, knowing this advance, we will return but keep an eye on the price per item.

    other servers sang happy birthday to their table guest, but mine did not which kind of sucked - i love a good bday song. especially since the other tables got theirs, i definitely thought i would get one too until my server said, she "doesn't do that". food and drink options are wide and great selection. although my server was pregnant and forgot about bringing sides and boxes to the table, she was still kind.
