| - The building and decor are beautiful, and the patio is gorgeous. I came here today with a group for brunch and sat inside, as it was quite cold and windy outside, but I'm sure the patio is amazing when the weather is nicer.
The food was very good (I ordered the shrimp and lobster tacos) but with the small portion size and hurried preparation, I didn't feel that it was a good value at $15. One taco had a cocktail shrimp-sized piece of lobster, the second had two pieces that were each half that size, and the third had none. The onions, black bean purée, and garnish were also very unevenly distributed between the tacos, which gave them an inconsistent taste and a very rushed look (see photo). At $5 a taco I'd like it to look like some amount of care was put into assembling the dish, and this aspect fell short for me.
As I mentioned, it's a very cold day today, but for some reason the side door was left propped open for most of the meal so my group (seated near the door) was uncomfortably cold while we sat there. I also have to point out that I received a dirty glass for my diet coke and the server didn't notice (or, for that matter, ever offer a refill). She was very polite, but essentially absent during the meal.
I really struggled with deciding how many stars to give this restaurant because the food was good and the location is great. However, I was hungry, thirsty and underwhelmed when I left the restaurant, and for those reasons I would absolutely hesitate to recommend it.
