    Had breakfast here and overall had a nice experience. Even with a reservation, you still have to wait a little, but thankfully it wasn’t too long. The views are really nice, and our waiter was friendly and treated us well. The food did take a while to come out, so I’m not sure if it was the kitchen or the service, but I can’t complain too much since we were treated nicely. Overall, it was a pleasant breakfast experience.

    Friday nights have live music which I really enjoyed. Some new menu items from my last visit. The Cali burger and BIrria dip sandwich, both very good. Shoutout to our server Gabriela! Thank you to Lindsey the hostess for accommodating our seating request and welcoming us with a friendly smile.

    Lindsay and Bella were terrific. They made our dining experience worthwhile. The place it's beautiful, there was nobody around us and the scenery it's stunning. Tostadas, tetelas, and the Seabass were very delicious.
