    I was so grateful for the baked no-salt tortilla chips that were available to me. Our waiter Emmanuel was exceptional. The food was delicious! The Maître d' Jason was great—let us pick our table bc we were there early. Thank you Armandos!

    We noticed immediately that the noise level was very high, making conversation almost Impossible. The staff seemed to be over whelmed. After 30+ minutes with just our drinks we had to ask the manager if we could get someone to take our order. He was totally apologetic and insisted upon buying us either a round of drinks or desserts. The food was very good and we enjoyed our meal. Will have to try again to see if it was just an off night.

    WE had dinner for 4 on Saturday evening. We had requested quieter area. Claire, the hostess was outstanding and gave us space in the private dining room. That was perfect since one person in our party talks softly. Our waiter and his assistant, Armondo and Isaac were also outstanding. Just the right amount of attention and pace was great. We were able to have a lovely evening and retirement celebration because of your staff. Thank you !!
