    What a disappointment. Our party of 7 specifically chose this place for brunch to celebrate a 40th birthday, but it was by far the worst service I’ve maybe ever received. The food runner and the host couldn’t have been more delightful, but our server— horrible. He was completely absent and took soooo long to even come to our table to take our orders, bring our drinks, and bring our check. Our party was seated near the bar so we could see our drinks sitting there for at least 15 minutes, and the restaurant was quite empty, but our server was nowhere to be found. Our food came quickly and was delicious, but man! Our server had us leaving with the worst taste in our mouths. It was bad enough that at noon the restaurant was out of salsa, pescado, every flavor of mimosa except orange, AND the women’s restroom had no toilet paper in any of the stalls and there were no paper towels, I could understand that restaurants have off days. But with service this terrible, I will not be coming back.

    Margaritas were very flat and sour. They had no grand marnier. What? The raw shrimp appetizer was terrible and sour. The salsas just a bunch of “heat” with no flavor. The Guac skimpy and chips yuck. The pescado dish was overly acidic. I felt like I had just sucked on a lemon for the whole lunch. The carne asada looked better but really? $58 for carne asada. The space is very nice. But that is about it.

    The food was average, lunch menu was very limited, they sat us at a table exposed to the harsh noon sun and there weren’t enough umbrellas or shade, and finally forgot about our coffee till we had to remind them, the guy we notified wasn’t that apologetic, blurted out loud “it’s very busy”

    Have been several times as used to be a low key experience but starting to get fussy (long waits, less than attentive service). Food remains tasty and outdoor space is nice, but will fall lower on my list as a destination with so many other top notch dining establishments in close proximity.
