    Service was extremely slow, waiters don’t know what’s available or not in the menu. Check your bill. We were charged for wine we never had

    Chosing the terrace was good. The only very down side was, the waiter told us that it's on us if we open the umbrella as it's very dangerous because of the wind. So there we were not enjou the overall experience as we were cooking jn the sun, and wasn't allowed to relocate inside in the inclosed terrace area. Had we known beforehand, we would not have chosen to sit the the hot cooking son, without the open umbrella. We kept on trying to adjust ourselves looking for some shade. I hope that sums it up.

    My party of 10 were given a private room and were treated very well by the staff. The food was delicious and the margaritas are highly recommended.
