"After a two week visit to Europe we were craving Mexican food. Jet lag had me starving but unable to eat the texas sized portions this great state is known for, my daughter ready to eat all the foods. So we ordered a starter Elotes Botaneros (Fourpieces of grilled corn on the cob covered in a tangy cream sauce and queso fresco. And two main dishes a small bowl of Sopa deTortilla (crisp corn tortilla chips, avocado, chipotle pepper and Muenster cheese and Enchiladas Verdes (Three soft rolled corntortillas filled with chicken guisada, tomatillo sauce, with red rice and refried beans. We we?re served chips, salsa andrefried beans, which I must say this is only the second restaurant I?ve been to that serves beans with the chips the other beingin Arizona. The salsa was delicious. The Elotes were sour, I love a little lemon or lime on them but these were so sour theywere almost inedible. I wouldn?t order a again. The soup was delicious, and presented beautifully, almost to be made to yourtaste, which could have been done with the Elotes by perhaps providing the lemom/lime to add as you wish. My daughter reallyenjoyed her Enchiladas and devoured the plate. My only other issue giving this restaurant a 4 instead of 5 star is we wereseated at a table that was getting dripped on by the A/C, avoidable by scooching over a bit but there were other tables we couldhave been seated at. I would also say it?s a very pricy location, especially for lunch, but it is La Cantera. Other than thatwe had great service and a manager came to ask how it was and was very professional and polite. I mentioned the leak and heapologized profusely."

"It was Saturday night. Packed house. Good for them The noise was terrible. The place is always a bit noisy, but out of control last night--literally hurt your ears at times. My iphone decibel meter (not claiming it's perfect) had sound ranging from (noisy restaurant) to (jack hammer). If you're at a bar, perhaps the alcohol increasing the loudness; however, when dinner guests are screaming at each other in frivolity, it would not be out of line for management to ask them to hold themselves to some sort of decorum--common decency anyway--while still having a great time. Each time we've been there, we've had to wait about minutes for our server to recognize us. Service from JulieAnn was OK, but not impressive--she definitely had too many tables to service. No issue with a little slowness on a busy night, but it takes very little effort to let guests know they've been seen and will receive service shortly....and to remember orders without asking multiple times The charcuterie board was good, but sparing on bread. The pita bread appetizer and sauces were good. Fried grouper was of nice size and good flavor. The chicken carbonara seemed like an incomplete dish but flavor was good. The Asian Pot Roast had good flavor, but was mushy overall and overly sweet. The lasagna was good. The cheesecake was unusual, but really nice. The apple crisp was underwhelming We enjoyed two nice bottles of wine but didn't feel the experience was worth for four of us We won't be back for a while and especially not on a weekend. It's a good place, just not great. We still recommend your try it"
