    Great food. Wonderful service. Server Jenny was amazing as well as the bartender and bus boy. Drinks were amazing. I really enjoyed the flautas, Brussels sprouts and budin. Can’t wait to return to the outside patio.

    Never disappointed in the food except that they need to add more interesting/robust vegetarian entrees please???!!! As for ambience, and while we get some ideas as to why you blare the music (e.g., the open kitchen noise abatement) but it could be quieted down a tad so we can talk and hear one another more easily. A general comment: your wait staff are exceptional & incredibly attentive. Thank you
