We absolutely loved the experience, but have just one piece of feedback: the noise level was OFF THE CHARTS. For a small space with hard surfaces throughout, and with the number of tables that are squeezed in there, the music should be WAY lower. We were just a party of 4 but we absolutely could NOT hear each other. Management should monitor this better, but otherwise, the experience was off the charts. Although very pricey, the food is amazing and the service is bar none.

Although aesthetics are top notch. We found that food was ok, especially when considering price. Service was ok, waitress was very nice and friendly but only saw her a couple of times. One drink order took a good 15-20 min to receive.

I took my wife here last night for her 36th birthday. When I booked the reservation, I made 2 separate notes indicating that this was a special occasion and I wanted her birthday to be celebrated. Our reservation was at 8:45pm, and when we arrived they had no idea why we were there, or the fact that we were celebrating a birthday. We were told our table wasn't ready and we could sit at the bar while we wait...except the bar was literally packed and it was standing room only. At 9:15pm we were finally sat, in a dark corner inside what I can only describe as a dungeon in the corner of the restaurant. Our table was right next to a speaker that was BLASTING music and we were forced to stare at the table directly across from us since we were seated in the corner. The waiter also had no idea it was my wife's birthday. What is the point of booking a reservation for a surprise birthday celebration when that information is not shared with any of the staff? We left 5 minutes after we sat down, and the night was unsalvageable at that point since every other restaurant in town was closing or already closed. Miserable experience, I will never set foot in this place again.

This restaurant has such ambience! All lit by oil lamps. The food is very creative, on the smaller side portion-wise, and expensive. I think it is worth it! I have been there three times, all for lunch, and loved it every time. Plus walking over to the coffee bar afterwards and checking out the amazing scenery in the hotel, makes for a perfect outing. Parking in the neighborhood during the day is very possible. Try the flan to share- it is to die for!

Not a great experience, rude and annoyed wait staff. Overcharged then given attitude when asking for the charge to be removed. Beyond loud inside, overcrowded. Charged $12 for salsa that we asked for with the guacamole we ordered. Nickel and dimed for everything, chips, tortillas to go with dishes that should have tortillas. Squash blossom good, but everything else mediocre.

Definitely a great date night restaurant. Great vibe and dark setting. Drinks and food were great.

Everything was beyond AMAZING! It was a bit crowded so maybe putting a cap on people around bar to enhance the diner's experience would be helpful. This is the one of the BEST dinners I've had in a San Diego restaurant. Loved it and will be back during a less busy time but for sure will return. Food is DIVINE! Compliments to the chef on the grilled fish plate!

Arrived early and the host not only forgot about our party twice, but then promised one table, made multiple mistakes on getting us seated.

Ambiance was nice, and our server was very attentive and friendly. However, the size/food portions are very deceiving, specially the tamal, which was a 2x2” square with no flavor. The Oaxacan fondue was a melted puddle of cheese that the turned to a cold block of hard cheese, and the tortillas were hard and cardboard like. Even the water tasted funny. Price to food value are not it. If you wanna go try it yourself go for it, but I personally wouldn't go back.

Everything was delicious! Especially the squash blossom relleno! But everything was bomb and this place is a vibe!
Service was amazing! Shout out to Roxanne and Caro! Very attentive and cool. Food is amazing, the chicken and shrimp tacos are delicious, so are the ribs and pulpo, literally every dish!! It's beautiful inside! Everything was 10/10, we had so much fun!

We had a reservation for 8:45 that we made days in advance and were not seated until 9:15. We did not receive two of the dishes we ordered, but of course we're not charged for them. Our server was very good. Very good ambience.
Jacqueline
Lovely experience, our server Alex, was incredibly attentive and made our experience delightful.
Danielle
The staff was amazing and very accommodating. The food was delicious but a little pricey. Overall, we had a great experience!

It was a beautiful hotel and lively restaurant with cool features, but the food wasn't the best. I'll go again for a game or a drink.
