"For my mother's lunch with my wife and my children. Sit very fast on a nice table and see no server for 10 minutes. When a server approached, she mentioned that our server was busy and would get our drinks, which was not a problem. It took another 12 minutes to get you orange juices and a coffee from our actual server. Then she took our order without writing it, and disappeared without asking if the other guest at our table wanted a drink as they were left out of the original beverage order. So we wait for 45 minutes. No server in sight. No food status drop-ins. No refills. No attention. Our order was simple, children pancakes, avocado toast and an American breakfast. Another table that sat 15 minutes after us had their orders before, but no server again to even ask for status. The food finally came, and our order was completely wrong (Avocado Toast came back as steak wrap, American breakfast was a hash brown and egg). At that time we were so hungry that we took what we were presented. But the toast never came, the side of the hash browns never came, the fruit peels (part of pancakes) came in spores. We came with very high expectations and were unfortunately quite disappointed. We chose not to follow the buffet because it was no different from the menu items if there was a little less variety. I really hope we were the one-off, because if that's normal, that would be a embarrassment."

"My friends I wanted to try a new restaurant to celebrate a friends birthday here. Big mistake. Ambiance is beautiful, service food is underwhelming. Our server didn’t acknowledge the birthday nor did she go through the menu or explain any of their cocktails. I asked her opinion on the “Guava Paradise” cocktail her response was “well do you like guava?”. Long wait times on cocktails while only 3 other tables were seated. We ordered a ton of tapas nothing was memorable. The shrimp ceviche was so bad, we asked to remove it from the table. Considering the variety of the menu, the fried brussel sprouts shouldn’t have been one of the best things we ate. We constantly had to stack dirty plates to make more room on our table. We were expecting maybe a small dessert for the birthday girl, but the server brought us the check while still having dirty plates on the table. The shrimp ceviche was not removed there was a charge for extra bread from one of our tapas. (A gentleman asked if we wanted more for the ricotta w/ jam plate since it already came with bread, but never mentioned it being additional. We would’ve still said yes if he would’ve mentioned the up charge, it’s the principle. When she dropped the check, she abruptly walked away I had to get up to ask her privately if they do anything for birthdays. She responded “yes, why?”… Lol. I mentioned it was my friends birthday, shortly after the table was cleared for us. One gentleman brought us churros a few minutes after she brought us what looked like a cheesecake, but didn’t explain anything until we asked. There were no plates or silverware to eat until we had to ask again. After dessert, we explained the items on our check instead of apologetically taking care of it or grabbing a manager, she tried to ask who brought us what and who took the ceviche for the table. Like started pointing fingers at the gentleman in the restaurant. The food is overrated overpriced. Cocktails good, but we won’t be back."
