    The food was cold, not good and nothing came out at same time. Waited over 30 mins for a margarita. My son’s food was cold and gross. Way over priced and over rated.

    Just left this place and what a freaking disappointment. Enjoying ourselves at the bar, just got our food and the fat guy with dreads sticks the toast device in my face and says we need to close out due to shift change. Seriously, I had already spent $100 and planned on more. We closed out, left our food and went elsewhere. This was a complete lack of respect, find a new process during shift change instead of interrupting customers who are paying. Also, stop selecting what percentage of tip we should pay before handing the device to people. That deserves the lesser amount.

    This was one of the most spectacularly designed places we have ever been as foodies. The decor was beautiful. The ambiance magnificent! It was really a special experience all the way around. The only strange thing that kind of dampened the experience was that we paid for a drink that was supposed to have a holiday ornament glass and didn’t get it and the dessert cost more on the check than it lists on their website.

    We wrote that we had 2 birthday girls on the reservation we made, it was ignored. No birthday celebration done for either birthday girl.

    Although noisy the atmosphere was beautiful. Service was lacking. We sat for 10 minutes before being given drink menus & we were not given food menus until after ordering drinks. Our server could not answer basic questions about either menu & took along time getting our orders correctly entered on a digital system. He’d only been working there 5 days. We had the mango margarita & spicy jalapeño margarita. Both were good. Guacamole for our appetizer. Portion was generous but it was lacking some flavor. Lunch was Brirria Tacos, Duck Tacos & Fish Tacos. All were good.
