    Everything was nice. Food was delicious. Server was friendly. Only really complaint I had was that we booked a reservation for a party of 8 which allotted for a 3 hour stay and was asked to leave an hour early because they had booked another party. Slightly disappointing as this was a birthday party for my daughter and we were still waiting for them to bring out the cake I had brought. Other than that I would visit again but will def not book for a large party reservation.

    It was excellent food, some of the best guacamole I’ve ever had and the fish tacos were fresh, crispy, & DELISH. The interior design was cool, creative, and comfortable. The service was fine. The music was cool club and loud but doable. The perpetual birthday chanting from the staff (on a Monday night) 5 in total, got old fast but I would go there again.
