    We were seated in an ugly outdoor tight space in the alley out back. Trains went by every 25 minutes blasting their horns. We had a reservation and should have been seated inside. It was Christmas Eve and the restaurant was packed and chaotic. Too, bad.

    La comida nada especial y nos pusieron en el patio trasero donde pasaba muy seguido el tren, hacía frío pero al prender las linternas tan cercanas a las mesas era extremadamente incómodo Pero me imagino que fue por las fechas.

    Made reservations a week ago. Showed up with the wife and daughter for Christmas Eve dressed nicely. We were seated in the alley with walk ins. Live local and haven’t had a good experience at this place yet. Not coming back.

    Sometimes I am challenged by a waiter/waitress that has such a thick accent that they are hard to understand. When dining at a fine dining restaurant it amplifies the situation. That was our experience last night and it was our anniversary.
