    The restaurant is old and unkempt. The floor looks shabby and neglected. The furnitures are old, glass doors and windows are full with finger prints. If you like clean presentable restaurant to eat comfortably, this is not the place for you.

    This was my first time visiting the restaurant. It came highly recommended by friends. I had such a wonderful time. Although I did not find it good for conversation, the food and energy made for a great time. Loved E.R.I.C. and I have already told so many others family members and friends how great he is, as well as the food 😋. I'll definitely be back. Thank you.

    First time diner. The food and service were perfect. The paella was delicious with enough to serve a few more people. A real find.

    Beat up, messy, dirty, unappetizing. Atmosphere ruins the experience.

    When we first arrived at the restaurant, there were not many people there. The waitress was very attentive and food/drink service was prompt and efficient. However, the longer our stay, the more crowded the restaurant became. Noise level was pretty high. Once we got our dinner meals, service was non-existent. Waitress never came back to offer refill on our drinks, even though they were empty for well over 30 minutes. I understand that the restaurant was busy, but that is still no excuse for not coming back to our table. We had to flag her down just to get the check. The food was delightful and a twist on a regular pasta dish. Also thoroughly enjoyed the live music! Four stars all around.

    Apps were very good, dinner was ok. Prime Rib ordered was the worst thing. Overdone & dried out. Very disappointing
