The food is mids. The service is mids. The carpet is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Nice view. Just like the A's, the owners of this place should SELL.

First time visiting from out of town, this was a surprise Birthday dinner for both my husband and myself. The atmosphere was pleasant, the marina view was beautiful, the staff was friendly and very welcoming, and last but definitely not least, the food and drinks are delicious. Our overall experience was amazing, and the vibe is awesome. We will definitely be dining here again.

Mierda del Torito Terrible service. Came during (un) happy hour. Was seated at the bar area even though there was plenty of space in the dining room. Bartender took our order fairly quickly. My girlfriend and I ordered off the bar menu. Usually happy hour / bar food doesn't take long but we waited and waited and waited. Bartender kept instanting the food was "coming right out." After waiting 45 minutes, it became clear that was "mierda del torito". We decided to leave but wanted to pay for the two sodas we had. This was a mistake. They said again that the food was coming. I went to the host, gave her my card, and said I wanted to pay and leave. After another 10 minutes, I asked where my card was. Manager had it? Nope, she was opening a bottle of wine for someone more important,I guess. The manager said something in Spanish to the hostess who retrieved my card from the upstairs area. WTF were they doing with it? I burning the card and ordering a replacement. Oh, and never we're coming back here.

How about El Tori-NO! I wish I could give negative 5 stars for the service tonight. This was the worst service we have ever received at this location. We arrived at 6:45 pm. The hostess led us to the bar. When we asked if we could sit in the dining room she said no. Reluctantly, I sat in bar with my bf. This was our date night, so I was disappointed that we had to sit in a noisy bar. The server said we could still order on the happy hour menu, so we did. My bf ordered shrimp tacos, I ordered beef tacos. We just ordered bar food, not the actual meals. By 7:45 pm we got concerned since we had not received our food, had not been checked on by the server, or received any refills. My bf asked the server if we could just pay for our sodas. No response from him or any server. The bartended kept telling us every 10 minutes that our food was coming, but it was not. He ended up asking the hostess if he could just pay for our sodas since we had not received any food, but she then gave the card to the manager. 20 minutes later we hadn't received his card back, so my bf asked the manager where his card is. Im not sure what her name is, but shes the heavy set gal who was struggling to open bottles of wine in the bar. The heavy set manager said she didn't know where my bf's credit card was and told him to ask the hostess. We ended up waiting in the front for the hostess, and she came downstairs with his card. Why was his card upstairs? He also did not sign for anything, so I'm not sure how they charged anything. This was ridiculous. I told him to check his statement to make sure they didn't make any bogus additional charges. We left at 8:10 pm, and received no apology and no food. The manager is nothing but rude and completely brushed us off when we tried to tell her what was going on. She was more concerned with opening a bottle of wine for the "special party" that was allowed to sit in the dining room. There was plenty of room in the dining room, so I'm not sure why we our others were forced to sit in the bar. I guess we were not valued customers. I would like to speak to someone about this evening's events, as we are highly upset, but after experiencing tonight's service at this "restaurant," I doubt they will even contact me. Let alone, the heavy set manager.

I didn’t know this was all you can eat on Sunday brunch. Enjoyed most of food. I tried hot Tacos but the staff didn’t speak English and she seemed unhappy to serve for non-Spanish speakers. Otherwise overall good experience
