Service here is great! Food- not so much. Prices are a lot for what you get. Had the rice bowl with shrimp for $32 which had 4 shrimp and a few little side but basically it was a bowl of rice. It sure how they can charge that for a rice bowl! My friend had a salad and added a piece of salmon- it was $50. Will not be going back

We always love coming back to Chef Luis. Our favorites on their regular menu are always fresh and delicious and the specials are too. We were surprised and delighted to see the newly decorated interior. Love all the blue trim and new artwork. Service was attentive and friendly.

Everything was so fresh. And there were so many choices if you wanted to eat lightly. I could have had an entree or a single taco. I particularly like the salads here. Interesting and crispy.

Excellent experience. We were first time diners last week and had a wonderful dinner. Our waiter was fantastic (son of luis!) and oh so very helpful. Halibut was outstanding! Can't wait to go back.

Recommended for sure. We went for an early dinner and sat at the bar. The food and service were both great, including the bartender bringing out a beet with onions from the chef to make sure that was ok for the picky eater in the party. That was a really kind and thoughtful gesture. Usually when she has to make adjustments it’s met with annoyance by the server. Chef Luis showed how easy it should be to extend great hospitality. We enjoyed an all-around good meal and the nice folks at the bar were a bonus.
