Be careful. The first time my friends and I tried to come here, they were closed. And I had made a reservation! You'd think that if they were going to be closed, they would not have let me make a reservation. And, if the decision to be closed, they should call people who made reservations to let them know.
We did end up going a few months after that incident. It didn't make enough of an impact for me to want to go back, but my food was decent. The Tortilla soup was surprisingly filling, despite the fact that there wasn't much in it and it had the consistency of tomato basil soup. I didn't have a bad dining experience, but wouldn't recommend the place.
