Fantastic value for the ambience and food and service. Delicious Mexican entrées not slopped on a plate like many other Mexican restaurants. Amazing chips and salsa, good margarita selection, delicious Mexican entrées served elegantly.

Food was just "okay" in my opinion.
Our waitress (Annette) was terrific.
Ambiance was fine.

Happy Hour food prices were ok, but maybe not for the quality. Drinks were pretty pricey

Celebrated a birthday dinner for a party of 6 - called on route to the restaurant they were able to accomodate our party quickly and even had the table ready for us when we arrived . First impressions were what a beautiful place -we arrived at night and loved the fireplace outside and lovely Christmas decorations inside . We ordered a good selection of drinks and food- would recommend the Margarita flight ! Was not disappointed in anything the service was also impeccable we had a nice private section do the restaurant and our server was very attentive and quick with anything that we asked for . Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back . Note: because it was a birthday dinner they brought delicious churros a la mode with a candle which was delicious !

We were seated quickly and were brought our drinks shortly after ordering them. We didn’t see our waitress after we ordered our food but other staff brought us anything we needed. The chips and salsa were so good, salsa had good flavor and the perfect amount of heat. We had both had enchiladas (carne asada and pollo asado) and they were absolutely delicious!! Perfect quantity and temperature. Highly recommend this restaurant, the atmosphere was incredible and intimate.

Ambience is beautiful. The food disgusting. Salsa was water with a slight color of tomato sent it back. Tacos carnitas. Old, no juice, carnitas chopped into tiny pieces that had no flavor. Tacos were ice cold in the middle. Sent them back. The order of chili relleno was fine but the chips, beans and rice, the quacamole and chips never appeared yet we were charged for them. Never once did anyone come to our table (ie chef, manager) to apologize. So disappointed

Just drove by this location. It appears to be closed (long-term) due to the fire damage.

The place is beautiful and so are the views, the food was good but limited menu, my gf order was wrong but they were prompt to fix it. Our alcohol drinks were just ok.
Our server was super nice and attentive and really pleasant, the hostess not so much, wanted to sit by the window and she gave some weird excuse why we could not sit there and acted odd, even though was fairly empty, but when I asked our server she said no problem. Mind you we did just come in from a hike and not dressed like going to dinner, that experience with the hostess is enough to keep me away which is a shame as I wanted to try this place for awhile and finally on a whim we went after our hike, I felt a bit let down because of her and made the experience not as enjoyable as it should of been. Perhaps was just a one off but would make me think twice about going again. Maybe I should've not shown up in jogging shoes and hoodie but still...

This is our third time to this restaurant. Unfortunately, they just had a fire a couple weeks ago and reopened the day we had reservations. What an amazing night, what we love about this place is they have live music on the weekends but even more than that, their menu is off the charts. They have so many gluten-free options and the Beria short rib is to die for. Everything about this new restaurant is great. The staffing, the aesthetic, the food service and the music all top-notch.

Dietary restrictions: Careful - items listed gluten "free" are really gluten "friendly" .. not for celiac.
