   I would give this place zero stars if I could. I had read reviews that this restaurant’s noise level was extremely high and that a conversation could not be had. Sometimes people are sensitive to loud music, but they were spot on regarding how obnoxious it was. I walked in and this place was clearly not my scene. I decided to sit anyway and experience it. After sitting for almost 15 minutes, not being greeted by a server, I left. My head was pounding by the awful music the dj was playing. Seems like there were a lot of underage drinkers there and seemed like a total bar scene from hell. Too bad, as I live in the neighborhood and really wanted to give it a chance!!

   While the food was delicious, the service wasn’t the best at all as there was only one server for many tables. They have you pour your own water and add an auto grat. (20%) 😒

   It started out pleasant and well lighted. Then, at around 7 p.m. (on a Wednesday) the lights dimmed, there were disco-style lights in use and the music got loud. I don’t get why they tried to create a club atmosphere in a restaurant without a dance floor. The food was great and the margarita was really good. But, the loud music you had to yell over to be heard was definitely a detractor for me.

   Perhaps we ordered the wrong food, but I wasn’t impressed. Edible but not great. Certainly large portions. I had gone hoping for a nice meal and it’s really more of a bar scene.

    The aesthetic is either very novel and refreshing or completely jarring depending on your preferences. For me personally, while it was refreshing, it didn’t feel cozy or relaxing at all. As for everything else, it was just… okay. The food wasn’t anything to write home about and the music was incredibly loud. Good luck trying to have an intelligible conversation with your party. However, the service was incredibly welcoming! When i initially got there, it seemed like there was an issue on their side regarding the reservation and yet they still accommodated me and my party no problem. Furthermore, we were seated by the speakers initially and without requesting for it, one of the servers generously moved us away when extra seating became available. If anything come for the service and vibes if you’re in the area. Drinks were sweet.
