Was not greeted by server at our table until 10 minutes had passed and a member of our party went and found someone. Went to order drinks the waiter said we should only order drinks on the rocks because the bartended was overwhelmed. Food was not authentic and the following were issues: burrito came with cooked celery in it and was not listed as containing that on the menu. Fish tacos was clearly a frozen fish pattie (looked like gortins brand fish from the grocery store). The appetizer platter was equally not good. It had quesadilla. Nachos, buffalo chicken wings, and some strange calamari. Would not recommend going here ever.

We came here because they had good reviews. They must have been doing something different in the kitchen for Cinco de Mayo. The tamales were super dense, hard and dry as a bone. The sauce for the enchiladas was flavorless and tasted like it came out of a can. The blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos were bone dry, not "blackened" only brown from cooking with no seasoning. The shredded cabbage seemed straight out of a food service bag. The best way to describe the food was it was already cooked and being kept warm buffet style in the kitchen and then assembled and heated before serving. Again I'm going to assume they did something different in the kitchen due to cinco de mayo because there is no way this food quality would get 4 stars.

The food was pretty good, we had an enjoyable time. The view is pretty decent overall. We had fun.. a little pricey. For. For people and a baby with two beers and two shots of tequila about $235. The economy is so expensive right now. It’s kinda hard to justify doing this other than the fact that it was somebody that’s very special to me birthday.

The views were nice (on a gray day) but the food was truly terrible and it was super loud with groups and kid birthday parties, complete with popping balloon hats. Ugh.
