"This was the one of a few places that I expected excellence in almost everything but sadly this was not the case. I went for a Sunday Brunch, to celebrate my bday. I made reservations for 11am for 3. We were seated within 5 minutes but once we got seated we waited over 20 minutes for the server to come to our table and that was only after I got up to let the manager know that we have been waiting for a long time without even water being served. Once the server came to get our order we still waited about another 30 minutes for our drinks to be brought and it was just a mimosa and a plain coffee and again after I flagged down the manager. The food and drink itself were perfect. I wouldn't have minded so much the extra long wait if I've had my drinks early on since I did ordered bottomless mimosas. Sadly, I couldn't order as many since they came out at the same time as the food. The manager did come and apologized and said he would take care of us but other than him giving me his card he didn't do much, not even a free drink as an apology. My reservations did say we were celebrating my bday but nothing was said to me about it. I was quite disappointed especially bc of the type of restaurant this is and it wasn't busy when we got there. Four other parties were seated after us within the 30 minutes we sat waiting and waiting and they were all served and were already eating while we didn't even have water.. The view was amazing though."

"The restaurant is nicely decorated. Lighting is aesthetically pleasing and the furniture is great. The bathrooms were nice as well with full body mirrors. We went for dinner around 6pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy at all. Service was awesome. The waiters kept checking on us and the hosts were nice. The menu we received was one sheet, two sides with the front side being all food and the back side all drinks. I only saw alcoholic drinks. I asked the waiter if they had strawberry lemonade as we didn't want alcohol. He said they could make it for us. I think they also have sodas but I didn't see the choices on the menu. I get the feeling its popular for nightlife eating, if you like going out for drinks it would be a great place to eat and drink. The food itself was decent. I'm mexican myself so I expected a bit more from it. Things that should be flavorful or spicy were a bit bland. If you don't like strong flavors you will be fine. I wanted more flavor. My refried beans seemed almost from a can. The steak was cooked perfectly but wasn't super flavorful. The guac was bland, so was the avocado dipping sauce our taquitos came with. The salsa wasn't spicy at all. The taquitos were yummy and all in all everything tasted clean. I wouldn't say it tasted like authentic mexican food but it also wasn't super fancy either. It felt a bit overpriced for how it tasted but the service and ambiance makes up for it a bit."
