The service was attentive, the food well-prepared, and the ambiance stylish and relaxed. My wife especially enjoyed the salsa, though I personally would’ve preferred a bit more heat or boldness. Overall, it’s a great spot to enjoy a meal and unwind with friends. Highly recommend.

Despite our reservation, there was no table for 2 inside. Only outside. No thanks so we sat at the bar. We had full service. Food and drinks were fast and service was good. We were in and out in 30 minutes. The people who were seated right before us were still eating when we left. The bar was a great choice!

Salt is always a wonderful experience and Anthony is our server of choice. He make the experience that much better through recommendations and by providing excellent consistent service. I highly recommend the Vampire Tacos!

Very disappointed with dinner. Front staff was very nice to get us seated. Our server was nice and apologetic for the lack of service and food variety. The restaurant was out of a lot of the options. No salad was a big one. They were short staffed. No serve ware or napkins until after the food came. Seems like they were barely holding on.

Got seated and a waitress (wanna be waitress) came by and we ordered a couple glasses of wine. I had to show her the selection on the menu twice over several minutes which one we wanted. They only have about 5 red wines by the glass so shouldn't be that difficult but... It was. We waited patiently for 20 minutes and finally asked her for water as she stopped by to say she was sorry for the wait. She did bring the water a few minutes later... about 35 minutes from the time we ordered she brought over two glasses of white wine.. not even close to what we ordered.. we ordered red wine and had that conversation with her twice. We decided at that point that there was no point in waiting any longer so we left. This place is in desperate need of management and apparently more help. I will never go there again and suggest that unless you're willing to sit endlessly waiting on drinks and/or food you not go either. It's too bad since the one other time we were there the food was pretty good. Service was horribly slow but at least we got what we ordered. This time, not so much.

Delicious food and atmosphere for Easter Sunday. I don’t think the Bottomless drink special was in play once I got our bill, which is how I signed up on Open Table!

This should have been a relaxing dinner, instead it took nearly 2 hours for 3 people to have some cocktails, chips/guac & Tacos. Our server was terrible at coming back to the table, took more than 20 min for initial drinks and 2 of those drinks were ordered “neat” so no mixing. The real show stopper was the restroom. I went to use the restroom, both stalls were full, when the door opened it was the Hostess, who came out of a stall where the toilet was broken/not flushing, only to not wash her hands & return to folding napkins at the Hostess station. Needless to say, not only will I not be back but I’ll ensure my crew knows to stay away from this rolling dumpster fire of a restaurant.
