    The food was delish. Drinks took a fair bit to be made because there was only one bartender working during the first half of our reservation. Servers were lovely. Food came out quickly. Would recommend.

    This was my first experience and I have to say I was very pleased! The service was awesome! I have celiac and staff reassured me how careful they are in the kitchen with GF platters. (There were so many great GF options, for once I felt like a normal human ordering from a menu and not forced to choose between one or two options) The food was SO good and surprisingly very well priced! The beef tacos were to die for! I was so surprised to find out all dessert offerings were gluten free which never happens! I was so happy that we got TWO desserts! What a presentation, and both so delicious! The overall experience was amazing and we will for sure be back again and again!
