    Food is always good, but today the fish in the tacos was a little dry. The service was SLOW and the server didn’t want to be there, but it was Christmas Eve so really don’t blame her.

    Really great experience! Initially the music was entirely too loud, but it evened out as the night went on. Food and drink were super good and appropriate for the price. The environment is so nicely designed and open. Really courteous and conscientious staff. We will definitely be back.

    Fun place with great wait staff . Music volume was loud enough to hear and enjoy, but not so loud you couldn't hear the person you are trying to talk to. Decor and specialty drinks are what make this place stand out. My table ordered 4 drinks and all were great. The food was also good and comes from "ro" the restaurant next door. Ordered the salmon and loved it. Note: Drinks are on the experience side, so I would definitely go back for a special occasion, but not as one of my routine restaurants that I frequent.
