I love the food & the ambiance! However, the last time I went, we were a group of 4, we received one of the worst services ever: It took over 15 minutes for the waiter to take our drinks order. Then another 10 to come back & take our food order. Was then served our entrée prior to receiving our drinks. Waited another 40 min for our food, when he never entered the order, & additionally he never came back during our time to ever ask us if we needed anything else, or how the food was. In the end, he screwed up my bill & when I told him, his reply was "It's ok". No Sir, it isn't ok (this about 3x) as I had to insist that I was not going to pay for something I never ordered. The place was also veeeerry quiet. Had it been a busy night, I'd have understood, but it was dead.

Cute place, good drinks, tasty food. Our waiter was really welcoming & polite. Under our table was a bit dirty & I saw a napkin & some food. It wasn't that much but still you want to sit & eat in a clean place!

Food & service quality went down over time. Chicken wings had a weird smell, tacos were alright, & the waitress forgot the drinks.
