    Food portions were excellent well seasoned and greatly presented. Service was also excellent. The outdoor patio offered an excellent view of the sunset.

    Our server, Marina, was friendly, fun and greatly enhanced our experience. First time dining here and the lunch was wonderful and the margaritas very flavorful. We were a table of four and everyone had a different choice with all being very satisfied. It was very busy with not a long wait however, staff kept us updated and checked in frequently. Definitely will be back.

    Lovely ambience both inside and out. Service was extremely slow (we guess there were staffing problems in the kitchen?) albeit, our waitress was delightful. Food was Okay, no WOW factor and one person's fish was way over cooked. Would not hustle back or recommend although it proved to be (because of the long wait for our food) a good choice for catching up with friends we hadn't seen in a long time.

    Excellent food and service. Great ambience. I’ll certainly be coming back. The only issue was our table reservation was 20-25 minutes late. Otherwise it was an amazing dining experience.

    The food was good and presented nicely. It took forever to receive our initial beverage order. There were 8 of us on a Sunday night. Our waitress clearly either had too many tables to tend to or just wasn't having a good day by her mood and interest in tending to us. Once the main course was brought out, there was a lag time from the first person receiving their food to the last person around 7-8 minutes which was not satisfactory. The noise level in the main dining area made it difficult to visit with anyone at the other end of the table. Overall not a great experience.

    Salmon great! Black rice was flavorless. Should offer options for sides. Asparagus was too big and stalky.
