Overall very disappointed in service, as a frequent fine diner we felt this was not on par. From walking in to police and an incident that threw the whole service off, kitchen having to keep saying we messed up tickets, to servers not even checking in with us at our table. Food was delicious but service need not meet the quality. Overall dissapointed

Our server was excellent and very attentive and helpful. Starting with the chips, salsa and guacamole were all wonderful!!Everyone was happy with their meals also. My only complaint, which is minor there was a bit of crunch or uncooked rice in my serving. We were inside in a small back room that got pretty warm. There was no ceiling fan to help cool it down. Upon going to the rest room I found the front of the restaurant very comfortable. Love sitting outside but it was too hot.
