Malgré le fait que j'ai attendu 15 minutes à ma table sans que quelqu'un veuille bien m'accorder un regard - c'est un minimum à défaut d'offrir un verre d'eau - j'ai apprécié le repas. Il y avait un super trio de jazz, mais la salle était très bruyante… Ke donne quand même un 4 étoiles pour la qualité de la nourriture.

I think the pizzas ate the best in town! The jazz band was average, & they could do more to engage the audience. Our server did not tell us about the $69 menu which is great value. We will be back for that!

Great nonchalant atmosphere, it's close to the theater so, it's a must with friends before the show. They did have some vegetarian options.
The resto is Mexican themed so you have to like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, mescal drinks, with some hot sauce & so on. You can always ask for changes & they will kindly do so. Good service.

Première visite entres amies, service courtois, la nourriture est très bonne, ambiance sympathique. Nous avons pris le 4@6 en terrasse, belle promotion, seul petit bémol, beaucoup de poussière noire & saleté sur la banquette, coussins, table, assiettes & ustensiles. Nous avons pris le repas principal à l'intérieur.
