    The food is actually really good. The cocktails are solid. Prices are fair. Noise level is a little high due to the echo of the space. Service was a little slow, but it was Valentine’s Day, so I wouldn’t judge on that. Definitely worth another visit.

    Our server Hector completely ignored us once he took our order. We had to beg for water & coffee refills. Our plates sat on our table for an extremely long time until the busboy took pity on us & brought us containers for our leftovers. I frequent this restaurant approximately once every 6 weeks. I’ve had Hector at other times & his service was good Next visit I will ask not to be in his area
