   The welcome was good but it was unexpected to have to wait outside, luckily it was a warm evening without rain. The table was small for 4 persons & the plates, bowls had to be adjusted as each dish arrived. The food was OK, nothing special. We had the beef tacos, fish tacos & pork tacos for mains, with broccoli, potatoes & chicken nachos for starters. I don't recommend the nachos & the other dishes were mediocre at best. The cocktails were great, my first time having a Mezcal Mojito. I chose this restaurant on the reviews & I was disappointed. The service was good.

   Food was disappointing. Too greasy and heavy. Sticky tables too grungy for me.

   The taste was great, servers were very friendly. The cocktails were refreshing and boozy.

   The one waitress that served our table had a very rude attitude. When we had asked for extra cutlery - she could barely hear us over the music being so loud, she replied “WHAT?” During the ordering process, we had asked for a cup of ice as the water was warm, she had written it down, but didn’t bring it to the table, so we kindly asked again, and she rolled her eyes and left. All waitress’ had their hair down when serving food which is completely against hospitality regulations. The ones that did have their hair back was barely tied back using a claw clip as a really lose pony tail that sat closer to the lower lengths of their hair, rather than actually neatly wrapped up on the back of their head. There were multiple waitress’ gathered around the food counter having a girls yap whilst tables were waiting to be catered for. Service was poor. Each plate of food was portioned for 1 person, but when asked when placing the order, they’d say we would have enough to feed our table of 4. Clearly wasn’t enough. The coke I ordered cost more than getting an actual can of coke, they filled most of my drink with ice. So I basically had a watered down soft drink. All up the experience was super average. It’s such a small venue you can barely walk through to your table, very loud, almost club vibes, the waitress’ have to raise their voice / shout to talk to you. The food was quite stale and messy, not terrible, but not worth it either.

    The value for the bottomless brunch was fantastic. It makes it very simple that you don’t have to even think about ordering. Service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing. Thanks for a great birthday celebration!
