This was my second visit, and it’ll be my last.

From the moment we sat down, the experience fell short. The table was wobbly—noticeably so—and no one bothered to fix it. I had to fold up my napkin to level it myself. That’s a basic expectation at any restaurant, let alone one trying to pass as upscale.

The water was served warm. Not room temperature—warm. The ice in my soda melted instantly. That’s not just unpleasant, it’s lazy service.

Then came the short rib tacos, which were downright inedible. What looked like cheese on top was actually a massive glob of mayonnaise. One bite and my mouth was full of it—completely ruined my appetite. I asked the server, who first said it was chipotle mayo, then came back and said remoulade. Neither was listed on the menu. Whatever it was, it was excessive and didn’t belong on that dish.

To be fair, my wife enjoyed her pork chop. But one decent entrée doesn’t make up for a poorly executed meal and inattentive service.

This was the second time I’ve left here disappointed. The first visit underwhelmed, and this one sealed it. For the prices they charge, the quality just isn’t there—on the plate or in the experience.
