    Kalin what is wonderful and kept all of our requests and his mind and quickly presented. We were surprised how busy it was, but the staff was efficient and they knew how to handle all the tables. There were five in our group. We all ordered something different and we all were very pleased with our dinners. We will go back!

    This restaurant definitely lives up to hype!! The food, atmospher and service were stellar!! If I had to give a downside, the pricing could be a bit more transparent and jalapenos are a in quite a few menu items If you don't like heat, your choices will be limited. However, the jalapeno dishes are not brutally spicy. I'm not a spice girl (pun intended) but heat was tolerable. These are minor downsides. This place is a must visit!! Kudos!

    The food was very good, and reasonably priced. The server was nice but she was very overwhelmed and we waited a really long time for our food, a longer time for our check, and it made for a really really long night. They’re short staffed. We will return on a weeknight to see if it’s better.
