Rellenos and Montanados were excellent and generous servings. Seated in the bar area on Friday night is not a quite place, but not objectionable. Service was prompt and just the right level of checking in.

The Taylor Swift brunch they held was so much fun. There was a small vender artist booth and music blasting. Only limited Taylor themed items, but the food off their regular menu was fantastic.
