The view being fantastic goes without saying. The food and drinks were great - I had the June drink special which was so tasty made with jack fruit, banana and other awesome ingredients. I really enjoyed the sushi which was recommended by my server and of course had to finish out with a fantastic crème brûlée. Just an awesome evening.

Baja bettys is our go to for great food and service. This time, we went for a 30th birthday celebration and the service was great. Our server, Marc, was super attentive of all of us and consistently came over when new guests arrived. He surprised me (birthday girl) with ballons, a free shot and an apple fritter instead of the usual birthday scoop of ice cream. Thanks for making my 39th super memorable !

Had a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs with home fries and toast. Even for such a simple meal it was DELICIOUS. Can't go wrong with ordering anything on their menu. They serve good food for a good price - it's why folks keep coming back. Love DZ Akins.

We went for pizza, and we were not disappointed. We added Italian sausage to the Margarita pizza, and it was great! We will definitely be back.

Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious. However, they said ‘seasonal jam’, which is apparently the little packets of smuckers jam, and we needed to ask specifically for utensils.

The food was good - between the 4 of us, we tried ramen, a bento box, yakitori, and wagyu beef. Everything was good. We sat on the outdoor patio, which was a nice bonus. The music was a little loud; I could only figure they had a DJ for variety and to drown the news of the casino. The tables are very small and mostly round so it seems it would be a bit hard for parties over 4.

The food was excellent, we were greeted by our server Amy within 2 minutes of sitting down. I had the Chicken Tinga, amazing flavor. Really liked the jalapeno slices worked into the tortilla. Had a House Margarita which was very good too. Overall a great experience.
