    Great environment. Very busy, reservations backed up. Food was good, drinks were good. We tipped em 20% cus we could tell the service was impacted by the big event and overflow of people.

    The food was amazing. The atmosphere was grand., as soon as I walked in the door, people were dancing at the bar. It’s very spacious and there was a ton of people lining up to go into the club. Club section so come extra early..

    Well, I am talking about my experience and it was ok. First of all, the food there is delicious but the service quality!! Omg, it was horrible; we arrived 40 minutes before and we let them know we were early but we were waiting for a friend, they let us sit at the table while we were waiting for our friend (who was coming at the original reservation time). Nevertheless, we were ordering drinks and appetizers and our waitress told us when my friend was coming because the table was reservation just one hour and a half, that it didn't matter if we made the reservation at 7 pm because we came early. I asked the front desk if the time was gonna change because we came early and he answered me NO! After that, the waitress was very careless on my table, even while my friend(birthday person btw) was there. We spent more than 200 Dollars and minutes before we closed the bill, we ordered beers and she charged us the tab and 5 seconds after, she told us we have a reservation already and telling us as is to tell us to get out when she had just brought us our last drinks. La fabrica needs to do a better job when it comes to training and hiring employees because that should've never happened and without those interactions, it would've been a 5/5.
