A+ for effort and manager's service...
We ordered the braised beef tacos. Yum.
Wedge salad was okay, pork sandwich was yummy. Then we ordered the mahi mahi special of the night. It was pretty bad. Very over seasoned, fish and all (potatoes, kale). And I love salty food! Tried to stomach it, but had to send it back.
It's clear the manager/owner(?) cares very much about his customers having a good experience. He did not charge us for the fish, and he had made me another dish to make up for it (also not charged for this)
So, the service was good. The interior is nice; its cozy. Odd location unless you are going to the movie, but if you are familiar with esplanade, it's easy to get in and out.
