The wait was long but the Latino Male Host was so nice and accommodative that it made up for the wait. His customer service was awesome! He really made our experience eating there and enjoyable one! We also had a great waiter. I will definitely be back with more friends!

So glad we had a reservation! It was packed!! The staff was super friendly managing every table and the long line waiting to be seated. The food was super fresh and tasty. Kudos to the Executive Chef and owner Carlos on creating a great environment and when it was very busy, came out & started seating people, including my party. I’d definitely go back.

After spending $225 They had the nerve to ask us were we finished because they wanted the table when we were stilll drinking our drinks. Will never go there again.

Sadly, I cannot comment on the food at this establishment. We arrived for our 7pm reservation at 6:55pm. Despite the fact that there were at least 5 unoccupied tables and only 3 seated parties, it took over 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. When we finallt inquired about our table, we were brusquely told we needed to wait. We did, for another 10 minutes and still were not given any information about when we would be seated. When we asked again for our table, the owner said we needed to be patient and wait by the door. Needless to say, we left and will never return. This kind of service is inexcusable and unforgivable.

We went Sunday, December 31. Be on time! Very crowded and thankfully we had a reservation but two of us four were late. Hostess said wouldn't hold table more than 10 minutes. But she wound up seating us as soon as she could and we appreciated. Its tight but cozy. Great breakfast food and interesting choices. Coffee was great and so were servers despite crowd.
