We had a cocktail at the bar before being seated and liked the bartender best of all. Calamari appetizer was spicy due to jalapeños in it. Dinner was good, server was nice and polite.

The waitress we had, Natalia, was outstanding!! She was efficient, very friendly, and created a positive energy all around her. I would ask to be seated at one of her tables again. Or maybe all the waitstaff and service personnel there are as wonderful. If so, kudos to whomever is providing training and guidelines on customer service.

Miguel was amazing! The food was great. It wasn't very crowded when we arrived at 6:00, but by 6:45/7 it was a full restaurant. Really great energy and will definitely be returning!
