    Ron who was our server did an awesome job. The paella was sublime as were the lobster enchiladas.

    Upon arriving for our reservation the restaurant didn’t have our table for 7 ready. They were not busy at all. They did ask us if putting two tables together was ok. The server was nice when she approached and was knowledgeable on the menu. We didn’t find her too attentive. Some of our drinks were empty and she didn’t recognize it even though she had been to our table to deliver our entrees. We had two basket of chips and salsa in the table. Once they were empty we asked if we may have additional chips for the guacamole and queso we ordered as part of our appetizer. She brought back only one basket. We had to then ask to replace the second one.

    Did not have sufficient staff on hand to accommodate a busy Saturday night. One bartender was overwhelmed and attempting to also service tables. Waited one hour for food and one entree was cold. Both entrees had topping sauce reversed. One guest can’t have dairy so didn’t eat their meal. Have eaten here multiple times and is usually very good, but this was the worst restaurant experience we’ve had since moving to NMB.

    Sorry for the lack of pictures, I really never leave reviews. However, this place earned it. "The grill" section of their menu is all bangers. I hate ordering steak because I can just make it myself, but we were both craving it, so we got the tampiquena and the jalisco ribeye, and they were both 11/10. Everyone needs to go here and don't get fajitas and quesadillas. Order something chefed up. You won't regret it. Drinks are also awesome. The view of the marsh is incredible. Tequila selection is the best at the beach.

    The food was really good. The manager was our server and he made the moment even more fun. He was friendly and really polite.

    Our server was great- the chips and salsa were fantastic! The portion sizes were way too big- embarrassingly big. Four of us could have shared one entree. The chicken tortilla soup was more like chili than soup and came to the table lukewarm. My nachos were also not hot, like they had been sitting around for a bit. Everyone else at the table seemed to like their food. Overall good. Would go back and use a different strategy when ordering.

    Really nice interior, good location and great view. Had a Menu was diverse and interesting. Had a very good server. Unfortunately food was “just Ok”. Will go back for drinks and snacks but not for dinner.
