    Terrible. Husband advised waitress of Celia gluten issue. Roll had Krab, fake Crab which has gluten! substituted for fish! Became ill while eating! Bad cook to not know about glutens! Not enough staff, served 30 min after ordering, drinks came even later.

    Food was amazing, but we told our waiter that we had allergies to shellfish and he forgot to tell us what dishes had shellfish and the person with allergies ended up eating it and it was a whole disaster.

    We went to El Tiesto for a meal before an 8:00 pm show so it was very quiet with few patrons - it is more of a night club later at night. The food was amazing and very unique - such a great combination of tastes, Japanese and Dominican. The service was ok...bartender needs to learn how to make a good martini...but we highly it.recommend it.

    We were hungry and decided to try El Tiesto. We quickly realized it's more bar than restaurant. The drinks were very good and the food was somewhat less good, but not all bad. Most people were there for the drinks and hookahs.

    Music was too loud for a restaurant. Venue was really cute and the service was great. Food and drinks (brunch menu) were just ok. Will try again with their regular menu.

    The staff was super sweet. I made reservations for 10 ppl and they were happy to sit me even if my whole party was not there. The food is delicious, they have so many options. The DJs energy was great and they made my birthday extra special. Thank you tiesto.
