We recently returned to this restaurant on a Saturday evening to celebrate a family member’s birthday, encouraged by the positive experience we had during a previous visit. The ambiance remained just as relaxed and inviting as we remembered.
Upon arrival, we were seated promptly and greeted by our server, Brie, who made a great first impression. Unfortunately, the timing of the service did not follow suit. It took approximately 30 minutes to receive our drinks and another 30 for the appetizers. Our entrées were served nearly 45 minutes after we had finished the appetizers. To their credit, both Brie and the manager checked in with sincere apologies and explained that a large party upstairs had affected kitchen operations, which we appreciated.
Where the evening fell short was in the food quality. While the presentation was nice, the flavors didn’t quite meet expectations, especially when compared to our previous visit. The fish entrée featured a well-prepared sauce, but the fish itself was overcooked. The tres leches dessert was decent.
In total, dinner service stretched over two hours and forty-five minutes, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the occasion. While the staff was kind and attentive within their limitations, the overall experience felt underwhelming given the circumstances.
