First of all, they sat our table all by ourselves in a corner when I requested the patio with the fire pits and music then the waiter never came around to fill up our water as soon as we paid. He never came back to ask about anything else, blah blah blah, and here I invited my friends from out of town all the way from Florida from Arizona to experience very dark room with no ambiance.

I was very disappointed - I was asked if we wanted still or sparkling water (I just wanted tap) and was provided with a $12 bottle which I didn’t realize had a cost until the check came. While the food is good, I feel I’m being upsold every time I go. I’m going to limit business meals in the future because of this

The carne asada fajitas, instead of requesting medium was well done and dry. The enchiladas were tasting like frozen enchiladas we bought from supermarkets and nothing special. The tres leches dessert was nothing special. The service was not the best. Lower than ordinary experience from a used to be great restaurant.
