    Nice people and great food. The wine director Dawn was pleasant and helpful. I usually come here for Cinco de Mayo.

    Have been here many times over the years. Overall a good experience. Service was a bit slow and we had a server who I believe was new and was not quite up to speed. There were several large parties (birthday and graduation) there so the room was full. Food is good there. It’s consistent and tasty. Nice portions. We will return as it remains on our list for good places to dine.

    The many food choices, both Italian and Mexican, make it hard to decide what to try - but everything was excellent.

    Love this restaurant. The staff, especially Dawn, is always warm and welcoming. The owner, Norberto, always stops by to ask how we’re doing. We have been eating here since he opened. Food and service are always excellent!

    We decided to break from our usual order of chicken mole enchiladas and tried Italian dishes tonight. Both of our meals were amazing! It will be much harder to decide what to order from now on!
