Drinks & service was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the bartenders here.
The food was tasteless! Why did y’all change the menu to this BS.
Wings are nasty, not crispy at all, just fried rubber and the chicken tacos are tasteless like no seasoning was applied. I’m coming back but not for the food.

The only reason why I'm ranking it at all. Is because I had a last minute reservation for about 10 people on a Saturday night at 6 o'clock in the evening and they took us but other than that, the atmosphere was decent. The service was horrendous and the food was completely not the star of the show at all

This place overcharged check your bank accounts since they don’t give you the paid bill after you pay. As I sat there waiting on the food I decided to check my bank account since I went in to order. They charge you to walk through the door. You will pay a tip of $11 even if you don’t say your are giving a tip. Bill over $24.82 they talking about a service fee. I can’t support business that do things like this. If you want good food and to be overcharged for it this is the place to go to. They definitely won’t see me again ever.

Had a great time with Chef Gio and his arepa’s workshop, we learned a bit of history of the original and also learned how to make different versions of them. I will recommend booking a day for you and your friends to enjoy this experience!

I Decided to visit with my brother. I should have turned around when I first got there the front door was broke. The drinks were good. I had the fish tacos which had way too much cheese in it, maybe because the cook was behind the bar taking shots of grey goose. No music only the owner has the passcode. So the staff couldn’t control nothing including the tv”s. Bar rescue needs to pop up asap. Would never visit again

*BEWARE* My husband and I visited this establishment for the first and last time this past Friday. We both only ordered one drink a piece when the bartender insisted on giving us two ‘free shots’ I noticed after we received the bill that the bartender included the ‘two free shots’ stating she charged us additional for the liquor she added to my husband’s one drink he did not ask for additional liquor only what came with the drink. We are very well connected in the community and will be letting anyone that will listen know never to patronize this business.
Is something wrong with this place it’s a beautiful bullying I hope can be good food and drinks but service and drinks are awful never again.

I never leave bad reviews, but this was honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. From start to finish, the service was unprofessional and careless.
The bartender completely ignored us the entire time, never once acknowledging us while vaping and chatting with (what appeared to be) the manager. Someone else eventually took our order, but when I asked if they had corn tortillas (since I have a gluten allergy), I was told yes by a server wearing AirPods. When the food arrived, I asked again and was told with an eye-roll that they were actually flour. Not only was that dismissive, but it also could have had serious health consequences for me.
Despite trying multiple times, I could not get the bartender’s attention, and once our food came, we were never checked on again. To make it worse, another friend who joined us never even got served.
I truly don’t like leaving negative reviews, but this experience was embarrassing, frustrating, and unsafe. The lack of professionalism and care for guests, especially around allergies, is unacceptable.

ASK FOR RECEIPT! Upon arriving at this establishment, i was charged a $20 cover fee. I bought 2 drinks totaling $28 from the bar. When asked for a receipt, I was ignored but I assumed it was due to the high volume of customers. An initial charge of $28 was displayed on my bank account. Upon checking account again, and additional $20 tip was added. I've called everyday for the past week to inquire about charge and I keep getting the runaround. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.
