We were attended to by our waitress quickly after being seated, and received water and drinks fairly quickly. After that 50 minutes go by no check in, no food. I try to order our own drinks at the bar, I wait 5-10 minutes before being told that the bartender had a lot of drinks to make and it’s going to be a while.
Ok, meanwhile there are plenty of age folks milling around who might be able to make a drink? I go and sit back down my friends food comes out completely cold...read full review
Great service and amazing, authentic food. My go-to is the chicken tacos. The soup of the week was chicken and potato and it was incredible. So glad this place is so close to home.
