    Great service. Good food. Horribly overpriced. A $6.00 up charge for corn is ridiculous. First time I’ve been in a Mexican restaurant that charges for chips & salsa. One would expect the first basket “free” with a meal at a minimum. There are too many choices to go back.

    I went here with a group of my girlfriends for our galentines and it was absolutely perfect. All of the staff we interacted with just so friendly and helpful. They were attentive to allergies and gave us all the GF options! It was an amazing first experience, and we will definitely be back again!

    The food, service and ambiance were excellent! The hostess, however, needs some help. We had reservations before an event - always busy at this location. However, we waited 30 minutes, even with the reservation, and were still not seated. We had requested bar seating (booth) when the reservation was made. There were 3 empty booths in the bar when we checked in. Hostess said they were letting the server get caught up. I understand that, but for half an hour? Seats opened up at the bar itself so we sat there, got great service, and met some nice people to boot. When we left those booths were still empty.

    The food, ambiance, service, drink menu and background music were all fantastic. Unfortunately we had a bit of a hiccup with the little girls at the hostess stand. One specifically seemed to hate her job and was extremely rude to us and to the customers after us. We spoke to a manager and it all worked out in our favor. He was friendly, kind and very understanding!

    Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive, made great suggestions, & went above & beyond for our birthday celebration. We recommend the eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza, arancini, and the Berry Blast cocktail. The birthday girl got a free dessert & a spiked strawberry with a huge “sparkler” lit up to commemorate the evening. This was our first time here & we will be back!
