- serviceI was not made aware of a credit card fee of almost $20, which I find is crazy. I do not mind the 18% gratuity as the service was great, but to charge $20 for me to pay my bill with a credit card is wrong. This is something I have mentioned to many people, and all agreed that it is crazy.

- waitressthe waitress seemed confused or nervous
- managerThe manager approached me and said oh no really I’m just gonna give you a discount
- serverThe server was nearby and she actually saw me throwing it up
- bad servicegave us very bad service
- customer serviceThe people at the reception never know why they are charging extra fees; they just limit themselves to saying 'I don't know. ' They lack some training in customer service and attention.
- orderThe next time, my salmon was still raw and cold. Today, they completely forgot my order. These issues are just not right.
- waitersThe food was very tasty, but the service from the waiters and waitresses was very bad. They were talking a lot amongst themselves and not concentrating on attending the tables, as if they didn't have anyone to make them work seriously. I wondered if their manager also joined them to have fun during work hours.
- waiting timefood took 40 minutes to get to the table
- HostessHostess was really rude.
So, should you go? You'll likely find the service to be generally good, with many positive interactions and attentive staff. Just be aware that some guests have experienced slower service or less attentive moments, so it might be a bit of a gamble.

Consistently Great Spot for Client Lunches
I love this place. Every time one of our clients wants to do a lunch, this is what we recommend and where we go. The atmosphere is friendly, and the food is great.
This afternoon, there was a miscommunication regarding a drink order. They brought out a very expensive mixed drink that was not what we had asked for. However, they immediately credited it back and fixed the drink.
I highly recommend trying it; you won't be sorry you did.

Disappointing Experience with Food and Service
My experience at the restaurant was not good at all. The food was incorrect, and when it was sent back, it arrived very late. The rib eye steak I received wasn't actually a rib eye.
Furthermore, the waitress did not refill our drinks and failed to bring the lemons we requested multiple times. Overall, the service was poor.

Terrible Food, Great Service
The service was very friendly! However, the food was honestly nothing special, it was horrible and tasteless. Speaking about my experience with the food, I ordered the 'mar y tierra' (surf and turf).
The meat was very dry, the shrimp were tasteless, and the rice was awful in my opinion, not pleasant at all! I do not recommend it!
