The food was delicious but the service could,have been better. We had to,wait a long time to get our food. So if you go be patient. But it’s pretty worthwhile.

Wow! Nuestra experiencia fue 20/10, el mesero que nos atendió fue tan detallista con todo (olvidamos su nombre). Nos dio recomendaciones de lo que podíamos pedir y no se equivocó con ninguna de las selecciones. Se tomó hasta el tiempo de escuchar lo que teníamos que decirle de su servicio. Definitivamente tiene vocación en lo que hace.
Paulina Escanes - CondadoResponded 1 day ago
Jonathan, estamos sumamente agradecidos con su review, nos ayuda grandemente! Tenemos entendido que su mesero fue Yamuel, pero para ser justos, todos nuestros empleados tienes unas habilidades maravillosas y características que resaltan el espíritu de Paulina. El que usted haya tomado tiempo para comentar positivamente de su experiencia y su relación con el mesero es apreciado, el alimento de nosotros para seguir dando lo mejor. Esperamos poder volver a atenderle!
