    Alenxander was an amazing server, and we appreciate how attentive he was. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we enjoyed our food. The filet seems a bit overpriced, but we enjoyed our food overall.

    The only thing I would change about our dinner. When the chocolate gateau was served it served with a side plate for each of us. Unfortunately the plates were really warm. They must have come directly from the dishwasher to the table. Since the dessert is served with gelato, a warm plate seemed out of place. This small gaffe notwithstanding, the entire experience was outstanding. Our food was full of flavor, the room was full of life, and service was spot on.

    We have decided to make The Mexican our go-to for our Christmas celebration with one of our best friends from now on. We started at the bar for a cocktail before we were seated in the beautiful main dining room. Our server, Josa (sp?) was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He pointed out the customer favorites for all parts of the menu. We started with ceviche and queso fundido for our starters, and we had the trio of enchiladas, the ribeye steak, and tacos for the main. We wanted to share everything and Josa did the honors of separating the starters and the mains onto three dishes. As we were finishing our first course, a tequila sommelier came to our table who gave us a mini course on the correct way to taste tequila. Free, interesting, and fun! We finished with the Quatro Leche cake for dessert which was delicious. All in all, one of the best dining experiences for me in the last three years. It’s not cheap, however. All in, dinner and cocktails were north of $700 for the three of us. But, we said we’d definitely do it again. Thanks all for a memorable evening!
