    Service was great but the food is overpriced and to expensive for the small amount that you receive.

    The ambience, service food and beer were amazing.. The staff were helpful and attentive throughout our dinner. We really enjoyed the food. The Crab Tostadas were to die for. The Beef Costilla was melt in the mouth delicious!! Thanks for an amazing experience...

    The food was amazing! But the overall service was appalling. We waited like 25 mins for our drinks and seen the beers just sitting at the bar, to the point where the beer didn't have a head. The food took like over an hour to come out and it all came out at different times. It was a birthday celebration and overall quite disappointed.

    We dined on a busy week night. The place was busy but not full. The staff were friendly and welcoming when we first arrived. The food was delicious yet they must be short staffed on the night as the service was chaotic and slow. First order of drinks took ages and the rest of the night did not get better. The staff seems overwhelmed and often it was difficult to get their attention for another round of drinks. Twice we had to chase our drink orders and wrong food arrived on our table. We really like the food but it was a frustrating night with the poor service.
