Cabezon simply never disappoints. The dining experience is so consistent. The staff are friendly, professional and provide great service. Everything that comes to the table is excellent, from the fresh bread to the entrees and the well balanced cocktails. The only suggestion I can think of is to perhaps add more variety to the menu, but I would hate to lose any of my favorite items so I hesitate to suggest it.
