    Service was so slow, food was fine. Flavorful. Got the queso, and it was just melted cheese, odd. Better than you expect for casino but mediocre for restaurant.

    Entree specials were tapas sized rather than full entrees. "Jumbo" shrimp were quite small. The scallops dish only came with 3 scallops. Pork chop was their best dish. The live music was great and the ambiance and decor are fitting.

    Service was quite speedy. Language barrier with server. Made ordering a little bit difficult. Fajitas were tasty but portion small. Guacamole was good. Salsa Verde was excellent. The creative cuisine is interesting and presents well. The margaritas were good, but they did not know how to make a white Russian. Several things just fell short of my expectations and I don’t think I will return.

    This was amazing! We had a fantastic dinner that we haven't stopped telling our friends about. We are regular diners at Chop House, but this tremendous gem is just down the hallway. The tapas, tacos, and the amazing Pescado Frito are there. I highly recommend this place. You have to try it if you enjoy a higher level of dining without breaking the bank.

    Great restaurant great food great service. The band was a bit loud and it was very hard to have a conversation at times because the music was so loud.

    It is a magical experience. The flamenco guitar player, the lighting, the beautiful decor, and atmosphere combined with amazing food. Our favorites were the Frybread appetizer as well as the chili con queso, and the margaritas were to die for.

    Me and my wife went to the bistro to have a romantic night as we are on our honeymoon. One of the first questions our server asked was if we were celebrating anything special and we had told him just that. He congratulated us and helped us navigate the menu and left us to make our choices. After we had ordered we quickly received our drink and appetizers (queso fundido) which were absolutely impeccable. Our entrees were exactly as shown in the photos and were very delicious. When we had finished our meal our server had surprised us with the delicious churro dessert free of charge for our celebration. Over all the whole ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a romantic night out and the service was amazing. This whole restaurant made our trip one to remember and we highly recommend coming here.
