Beautiful restaurant & atmosphere. Great customer service. The drinks were absolutely delicious. Food presentation was exquisite. Unfortunately, my birria tasted like fish and ruined the experience. Not sure why nor the waiter . But he was very kind to offer to remove the meal, which I did not allow. The dessert was so so so yummy! I feel should be presented better but delicious none the less. - RAM IMAGERY
