This place is not good, it is very dirty, the bathrooms are very stinky and the food that is left over is used for another event and if you go. They eat during the week, they give you the food that is left over from the events, please be careful, the barbecue is reheated from other parties and the carnitas are also very dirty. save to use for others is not worth

The owner likes to use the djs and not pay them, then he says that the clients complain when it's not vdd. Cheating people are not recommended, I do have a category production company, and that Place is not Recommended.

This place is a scam I had placed my deposit of 500.00 and then made another 1000.00 payment prior to covid and then I had to cancel everything I know you don't get the initial deposit back of 500.00 but I never got my 1000.00 back and the manager did not return my calls when I was able to finally reach someone was told there was management issues. I will never book anything with them again.

That is not a restaurant it looks just like an event venue of course because it is but it was dark and it felt very lonely

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!This place is a total scam!! I had my event there and everything that can possibly go wrong did go wrong! I deeply regret having my event there. The Owner Victor is hardly there, we would have a set time to meet up, he would either be late or wouldn’t show up at all. I would always be speaking to random people when planning for my event which was doubtably suspicious. When I signed the contract it said there would be great food and plenty of drinks. The day of the event they didn’t have half of the things they promised they would have; such as their variety amount of drinks. They provided with dirty stained table cloths and chairs. The floor was so sticky as if they hadn’t moped it in months. The food was absolutely disgusting. I went for the tasting and it didn’t taste nearly the same the day of the event. My guest weren’t able to eat the food because it was to hard and uncooked. Victor, the owner was there the day of my event and I spoke to him about the food and he said he would resolve the problem. At the end of the night, I got charged $600 for the extra platters that were served to my guest after they were at fault for serving uncooked food. I called Victor multiple times and days after the wedding to have a conversation with him in person about the event but he wouldn’t answer. When he finally did answer he short talked me he said he would call back but never did. He owns other venue locations and I have a feeling he does the exact same fraud to other people. There is a sign saying they have a buffet on certain days and times, I would go multiple times and not once did they have the buffet opened. Please be careful and don’t get involve with this place. They will just take your money and lie to you with false promises.

Don't waste your time here. They advertise on the outside of their restaurant Lunch Buffet Tues- Fri 11-3, but have been by there twice this month at around 12pm, and both times, I was turned away saying they were " closed ". Whatever that means??? they should remove that sign above their open door and put " Closed" instead. I won't waste my time anymore.

We went for a comedy show that included dinner, the show was very good, the food was not the best but the drinks were disgusting, I guess they use very poor quality liquor and mixers served in the worst super thin plastic cups and to finish the men's bathroom looked like a garbage alley with a wet and stinky floor, definitely not to return, I recommend NOT visiting this place
