    The food was average, lunch menu was very limited, they sat us at a table exposed to the harsh noon sun and there weren’t enough umbrellas or shade, and finally forgot about our coffee till we had to remind them, the guy we notified wasn’t that apologetic, blurted out loud “it’s very busy”

    Have been several times as used to be a low key experience but starting to get fussy (long waits, less than attentive service). Food remains tasty and outdoor space is nice, but will fall lower on my list as a destination with so many other top notch dining establishments in close proximity.

    To begin with, our table wasn’t even steady, it was constantly moving. Drinks took too long. They were out of food and drinks we wanted. Ordered chicken mole, it was not too good. They missed our appetizer.
