- DMDavid MedfordNov 14, 20255.0The dining room upstairs is absolutely breathtaking. The food was just as amazing. And our server Cristina A blew it out of the park, she was so personable and made us feel special on a random Thursday night. 10 stars if I could
- AVAni VillaNov 11, 20254.0I was expecting a different menu. I ended up finding out it’s 3 restaurants in 1 but all open at different times/days. A little confusing. Nonetheless- the margaritas were strong and chicken quesadilla was amazing. The sweet potato fries are a must!
