had reservation at 8:45pm, didn’t get seated until 9:45pm. Food was alright, soup was good and steak was good but the burrito altogether was lack luster and the table side guac was middle of the road basic. the chicken tortilla soup and the chips and salsa was all that could really be enjoyed. The ambience was perfect for valentine’s day and the service was great. The food and wait time was what made this sort of not worth it. i will give the benefit of the doubt because it was at closing time and we were the last ones in there. but for valentine’s day i was expecting better. an $87.00 bill was not worth the experience. won’t be going again, but wasn’t the worst i’ve experienced

I had high hopes for this restaurant when I made a Valentine’s Day reservation for 8:30 PM, expecting a smooth and enjoyable night. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Despite having a reservation, we weren’t seated until 10:20 PM—nearly two hours later. No updates, no apologies, just an endless wait that killed the mood. When we finally sat down, I was hoping the food would make up for the poor experience. It didn’t. The dishes were mediocre at best—nothing memorable, nothing worth the wait. The only saving grace? The margaritas packed a punch, but at that point, we needed them just to get through the night

I found this place on Open table. It was our first time in. We had a reservation at 8pm. It was Valentine’s Day. We arrived 745 and they told us they were running behind. When asked how long to wait they said unsure. We waited til 845 and started looking for other places to eat nearby but of course they finally called our name. So almost an hour wait with a reservation. I just don’t understand the the point on having reservations if doesn’t really apply to real time. Maybe this restaurant should only do reservations on holidays and not take any walk ins. Just saying because we’re tons of people waiting outside and inside, with and without reservations. We were waiting in front of the main check in desk for the whole hour and it was such a safety hazard. People’s butts were in my face if you can imagine. The food was ok. I thought it would be better. Maybe I came on an off day because the reviews sound way better than what we experienced. I wouldn’t recommend this place on a holiday, or Valentine’s Day. Like I said, maybe I came on a bad day but I wouldn’t come back. There are way more other places that I can eat at with better service and food. Maybe this days food wasn’t great because it was so busy.

Margarita tasted like a bottled mix, although I ordered one that said “fresh lime juice” on the menu. Couldn’t drink it, just left it. I asked for water, and that took a while. Also, waiter didn’t clear table before dessert but put dessert plate in front of me. I stacked the dirty plates together so I could put dessert in the center of the table and share with my date. Lovely. Also, please don’t tap me on the back of the arm every time you stop by the table. Thanks.
