    Food was very good, service was great. Music was extremely loud, couldn’t even hear the bartenders or waitstaff. Sounded like club (dance music) at 6:30 PM on a Saturday night. I felt like I was in a club. Is this a restaurant or a club that serves food? We have been here before and never had this issue.

    Met a friend for a joint birthday. Tried this place out as someplace new. Loved the tuna especially. The house margarita was so good and went down very easy. Staff was attentive .
