| - Very, very nice restaurant, and the food is always fabulous--I have never had a bad meal here. It's not crazy expensive, especially when you think about the area you are in, which is what I thought it was going to be when I walked in and saw how nice it was. They even have a super nice, small but nice, patio for when it's weather appropriate. When I first started going here I thought it was a place I would only go to for special occasions, but it really can be an anytime place (especially when you want a really, amazingly delicious food!).
I have to be honest, my first time here I was a skeptic because I am such a picky eater; however, that was several years ago, and since then I have done a pretty good job of expanding my horizons. That being said, I have tried so many things here that I have never been disappointed with. Most recently, we did a couple apps and split them between us--the spicy chorizo queso fundido--oh so good and cheesy. We also did the mojo puled pork tostones. I am not a fan of pork at all. You will never see me eat a pork chop. But these little babies....I couldn't get enough of them.
On my most recent trip there, I sat at the bar and got there maybe a couple minutes before 7:15. As soon as I sat down, the bartender immediately came over and asked for my drink order, letting me know if he put it in within the next thirty seconds I would get the happy hour price still (I think happy hour "ended" at 7). It was awesome, the bartender was totally looking out for me haha. I did get the mojito, and it was a little strong. I still drank it, of course. There were two bartenders working there that night, and they both had great customer interaction with everyone they served the entire time I was there. You could tell they were having fun, which definitely makes the job easier, I'm sure. But it made my experience a ton more enjoyable too. Now that I think about it, every time I have been there, the staff has always been nice. Oddly enough, when I would be leaving, there was always a manager near the hostess stand that would say bye and that he hoped we enjoyed ourselves. I would go here any change I get...happy hour or dinner.
