    Food was MUCH worse than last time we were there. Never fry a beautiful sea bass, then top it with piles of soggy vegetables. The cilantro rice was white rice with old cilantro on top--really?? I can make an amazing cilantro rice with cilantro pesto at home. The vegetarian masa dumpling dish had hardly any dumplings, bagged baby kale, rustic cuts of squash--a shameful dish!!

    We came for a bachelorette party dinner. Our server was nice but we couldn’t get the heater working and there was another employee who came and offered us blankets and then when we walked outside and the same man offered to take some photos for us. He was so attentive and considerate. The food is pricey but amazing and it is a bit loud but the view is unbeatable. Thank you!!

    You definitely go for the view! I found the menu to be 'different' as in not being a traditional/typical Mexican cuisine. Some flavors really went together and others I believe needed more description on the menu. For example, I ordered the Tortilla Soup, if it would have stated that the broth was of chipotle I wouldn't have ordered it as that's not a flavor I care for (also, the chunks of Oaxacan cheese melted into balls of what tasted like mozzarella) for $13 🤔 you definitely pay for the ambience/view. Service excellent!

    One of my favorite places to take guests - view and food cannot be beat. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but well worth the experience. We asked for a window table and were originally seated next to a noisy group but I asked to be moved and the new booth had a great view in a more intimate setting. Our server was there when we needed him but not pushy - let us relax and take our time. As always the food and drinks had a special and unique twist. A great place for a special occasion.

    Very nice restaurant on the water. We were sitter upside which is very noisy from all the people dining. Tried to move inside but no staff to sever you inside. Menu is limited, I was hope for enchiladas but they don’t have them. I ordered carnitas and the pork was dry. Also prices were high. Gave it a try but don’t think I’ll be back.

    Was super excited to finally give this place a try. Service and view were amazing but the food fell a little short. Hand the ceviche 3 ways and the flavor was lacking in all 3. Also tried the fish tacos but was also disappointed. I felt I could get better tasting food from my local taco shop.

    For a first timer the experience was very good. A little confusion at the beginning when we checked in and they mistaked us for someone else and told us our table wasn't ready even though we got a text saying our table was ready. After that, experience was amazing, food was delicious.

    Seated 18 minutes late, server first appears 11 minutes after sitting down. It's at that time we order drinks, appetizers, and main dish. Appetizers appear 15 minutes later, drink appear 2 minutes after appetizers, 1 main dish appears appears 25 minutes after appetize, second main dish appears 27 minutes after appetizer. Entire dinner for 2 people with dessert was 1 hour 36 minutes. Mixed drink was too strong and sent back. Food was good, dessert was good, we were not charged for the returned drink. Service was terrible, girl at the reception desk looked about 14 and had an attitude of a 60 yo bess. Saw multiple couples going up asking when they would be seated. Entire thing seemed like poor management and staffing issue. Bill included a 5% surcharge for "increased expenses". Won't be going back.

    EXCELLENT spot for a business dinner. They have Wi-Fi, spacious tables, patience service. The food is good - not a WOW factor, but perfect for what we needed. One of the few places that still bring complementary chips and salsa, which is much appreciated!!! The views are incredible, service is friendly and on point. Will definitely come back for future business dinners.

    I met my friend here for an early dinner. The restaurant sits right on the water with an excellent view of the downtown skyline and bay. I ordered the Mexican paella, because I hadn't had paella since I was in Barcelona in 2017. I was a bit disappointed that it was so much different from Spanish paella. I expected it to be more savory and flavorful, especially for the price and the limited amount of seafood that comes in the for-two dish. That being said, the wait staff was cordial and attentive and the restaurant wasn't too busy at 4 PM. The great company and conversation really made this meal for me.
