    If Sixto is your waiter, you can relax. You are in good hands this guy was great. As my wife can testify, I am hard to please. But the service here was absolutely perfect. And the food was really really good.

    Had not been here for several years and it looked and felt tired and worn. The space has definitely seen better days. The bathrooms in particular were not great- one cistern was missing a lid in the ladies bathroom. Not what you want to see in a restaurant. The food was fine but I wouldn’t go back or recommend.

    Brought business guests from out of town. Nice little place but food was not the greatest and had to ask for my drink and bread 3 times before we actually got it and then were told that there was charge for the second round of bread.
