First time here did not live up to the hype.The ambiance was nice; basic but clean and organized. I enjoyed the music. I'm not sure if it's the normal choice, but this night it was 90's Rap.The cocktails and appetizer were the best part of the meal. I ordered The Sun; if you like mezcal and tajin, this drink is for you. The lemon drop martini was very tart, but the sugar rim helped balance it out.The tenderloin Mac and cheese made it worth coming back for. It came out quickly. The Mac and cheese had great flavor and just the right amount of creaminess; it wasn't too runny or too dry. The tenderloin was extremely tender, though it tasted more like a pot roast. Still delicious! The fried onions on top added a satisfying texture difference and tied in all the flavors. The serving was enough of a meal in it of itself, so it's a great dish to share with others.My mom and I ordered two meals to split; the shrimp carbonara and the cuban (a special for the day). My mom told our server, Brooklyn, we were sharing both food items. She did not state to bring them out one at a time. The bread of the cuban tasted stale and was rather tough to chew. The pulled pork didn't have much flavor. Overall the sandwich was very dry. The fries were decent; nothing exceptional about them. Brooklyn never checked on us after dropping the food off.About 20 minutes after finishing the sandwich, Brooklyn finally came to our table. It was at this time I asked if the shrimp carbonara was still coming out. She gave a confused look at the table and stated she would check on it. After a few minutes she returned and stated it would be coming out shortly; no explanation as to why this occurred was given. The table next to us (a two top) received both of their dinners and finished them before we received our second meals.Another 10-15 minutes passed before the shrimp carbonara was delivered. My mom asked Brooklyn why it took so long for the second dish to come out. Brooklyn stated the kitchen was backed up with a large table. This would mean that the kitchen sent out half a ticket before completing the order, with an entire 20-30 minutes between each dish being served.What is more likely, and what I believed happened, is that Brooklyn forgot to ring in the pasta dish for whatever reason. She only rang in the appetizer and the sandwich, and when the kitchen completed that order it was sent out. After being called out on her mistake, she then tried to rush the order, but the big tables order slowed things down. It simply does not make sense for a kitchen to send out half the order before completing the ticket. Very disappointed that Brooklyn had the chance to be honest and explain her mistake, but decided to lie instead. Whether it was directly her mistake or not (which I 100% believe it was), it took at least 30 minutes for our second entree to be delivered- this warrants some kind of apology or comp in my opinion.The shrimp carbonara was nearly inedible. There was way too much pepper and salt. The shrimp was the only good part of the dish. The bacon bits were much too big. We didn't finish it. Brooklyn also did not check on us after dropping the food off.If you come here, limit yourself to the tenderloin mac and cheese. I will not be rushing to try this establishment again anytime soon, and I will certainly avoid Brooklyn as a server.

Great food but come here for the cocktails as this is what they’re known for. Also our server was horrible. I’m patient but food came out very slow (I wasn’t convinced it was a kitchen problem as much as a server putting in the order and bringing it to us when it was ready problem) and we didn’t get drink refills but once. When it came time to pay the check it took her very long to bring it to us then she disappeared and we never saw her again and they are lucky we got up and went to the bar to pay our tab because we could have just left and walked out! No one would have known because apparently we weren’t important!

We had a lovely. Brunch here on Sunday. Because of the alcohol laws you will need to order a bite of food prior to being service alcohol. Get something small so those fantastic cocktails can begin to flow. Nice location and decor and exceptionalCocktail menu. Enjoyed the breakfast sliders and mimosas. Lots of cold local brews on tap as well.

Bad service from the staff from the first moment I entered with my family, we all felt discrimination on the part of the person who served us, ignoring us and treating us poorly, they gave us each a menu and we ordered our food when we had to pay. I said that the price was wrong and it turns out that the menu that she had given me had the price of each dish $4 cheaper and I told her that I would pay for the price that appeared on the menu that I had in my hands and she said no. I had to pay the price that appeared on the other menus after we asked to speak to management and it never came to our table so we decided to leave the restaurant, I don't recommend it at all if you are going to pay more than $30 for a meal and want Good service, this is the least suitable place to go with your family to have a good time.

Girl's night out. We had southwest salad. It was pretty. Just did not have the flavor profile I expected. Not much of any flavor.There were drain flies bugging us the whole time. Disappointed to say the least.

they gave me the wrong menu, a cheaper one and i told her that i will pay the cheapest one but she was EXTREMELY rude to me, she brought water and she almost broke the water glass, i told the manager (i think he was the manager) she is a blonde girl, young and skinny and it was today April 6th, 2024 around 9:20pm

Maybe I'm spoiled, but nothing beats the Elote you can get from a street vendor off of the many intersections of Alvarado in Los Angeles.Elote aside, this is an excellent establishment. The vibes are superb, and the main dishes are even better.

Food was amazing! However there was only 10 people in the restaurant and it took about 30 min for me and my friend to receive our cocktails. The waitress was sweet, but she definitely lacked in attentiveness.
