   They were very short staffed. No one ever came to assist us until I went up to the bar where the manager was he confirmed that they were short staffed, then came to our table and offered us a free appetizer just for them to add it to the bill. I’ve been coming here for years as I used to Live locally and it was always a great place to go, but today I brought my friends and it was very disappointing.

   The elote appetizer I loved. The drinks are strong and delish. The short rib plate was big and delicious!

   I enjoyed this restaurant. The only issue I had with it, was parking. There’s no designated parking , and because it’s in the middle of a lot of town homes it was hard finding parking.

   Came here for my birthday with some of my girlfriends, and the food was amazing as always! I usually don’t comment on service since I worked in the industry for over 15 years, but unfortunately, we felt like more of a bother than welcomed guests. Our server didn’t acknowledge the occasion, which is fine, but a little enthusiasm or warmth would have gone a long way. Still, the food and atmosphere made for a great night!

   I have been here many times and each time I have faith I will have a good experience and I don’t. This experience was by far the worst. From the moment we arrived the hostess was rude and not helpful. The food was terrible. And the ambiance was horrible. I gave this place too many chances. No more.
