It’s a very vibrant location . Nice restaurant to celebrate any occasion. Margaritas looked delicious. My food was pretty basic . Came out very fast like 10 minutes .it was lacking flavor to be honest , tasted mostly precooked . Nothing special . I have no complaints regarding our service or server . She was nice ??
