β€œI've been to this establishment twice. The food is excellent, the motivation to do this review. My initial visit, service was outstanding. We were warmly greeted, seated, and tended to in record time. However, second visit, subpar. It was such a day and night experience. We seated ourselves, received water, and waited nearly 30 minutes before a waitress came to acknowledge us further. Rarely do I have to speak on the race card. This visit, as I was not alone, it was evident that they intentionally and continually serviced Spanish speaking customers arriving after us. It was the weirdest thing when we realized what was happening, and I was so disappointed given our first experience here. I used the restroom, and as we were preparing to walk out, the young woman came over to acknowledge us. My first mind was to still leave, but we gave them a chance. Fast forward, we were also overlooked in receiving our orders. People were walking in and out with takeout orders, diners were coming in seating themselves, and getting their orders within 10 minutes of being seated while we had to send ours back or were missing part of the order. When we asked for the check though, it was delivered in record time, overcharging us for what we ordered. Had to refer to the menu for one instance: we were charged for coffees when they were noted to be complimentary to the meals. The cashier (the same server) says, "That's only before 11:30a." It was just about 1p and I had to show a picture I'd taken that shows we were seated at 10:55a The lack of consistency is enough for me to take my business elsewhere.”

β€œWent here after a work out, just looking to replenish some lost calories. It's a cute little hidden spot. Classically decorated, but that is where all ended. The service was poor and the food was a mess. From forgetting part of the order to adding items that we asked to be excluded, to being completely ignored by the server while she chatted with a friend and drank coffee... it was bad. The food was somewhat are bearable until I bit into my beacon burger. The burger meat was like rubber and the beacon tasted as if they fired in decades old grease. The fries and Morir Sonando were on point though. Hence why they are at 2 stars and not 1”
