Food was really good and everyone was pleasant and service was good! First time there, not disappointed.

Great food, good variety of music and wonderful venue. Crowd is sophisticated but yet very down to earth. Love the place. A bit pricey but worth every dollar when you can walk out with a smile on your face.

Went here with my bf for our anniversary. We dressed formal but it felt awkward bc the guy at the front desk was like why are u guys dressed this way and i thought they stated u were supposed to dress formal bc this is considered an upscale restaurant but their standards dropped i assume..i guess you don't really have to bc no one cares due to the pandemic but we decided to dress up anyway just to be on the safe side bc they seem very picky and also bc it was our anniversary. Then the host or w/e was like we have a lot of reservations today, there may be a wait despite making a reservation but when we went in the place was nearly empty bc of the pandemic going on..We got a small table for 2 which was nice. The passion patron margarita i had was ok but they garnished it with an old piece of candied ginger..then came the crispy chicken, it didn't smell good at all like they didn't wash it well or at all. My boyfriend's meal was good though, can't lie, he had the lime crusted salmon with cilantro mashed potatoes, he doesn't like cilantro but somehow he liked this, then we shared a coconut flan which was amazing. Some of the things I really enjoyed here was the coconut flan, the city view and the music.

Not for anniversaries, not for celebration for each other’s love, this is a place for casual fitting and casual dressing. Even though the website says “formal attire” … this is the total opposite. People wear HATS hoodies and anything you can wear casually at a park or at local bar. They have sports playing in the background in the bar. If you TRULY want a place to dine for a special occasion look elsewhere. You can’t even see the view from where you’re sitting. And the view was in right in front of you ha ha….the service took over an hour (tips are included in every bill regardless of service). The parking well there is none besides the garage up the block. Seriously don’t waste your time. Spend your money and time elsewhere.

Can we provide on our photographer for a private event in the reserved room?

Janaiya Banks | Oct 18, 2022
Julian Vasquez | Oct 18, 2022

To my knowledge as long as you let the restaurant know you will have a photographer on site and strictly taking pictures/video within the reserved room and/or outside the restaurant so as to not interfere with the dining experience of any patrons not involved in the private event, they definitely will allow the photographer to be able to work your event.
