The cocktails are standout favorites, with many highlighting the house-made sangria and citrusy spritzes. Guests also appreciate the inviting patio space in warmer months and the attentive, upbeat service.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the space can get a bit noisy during peak hours—especially on concert nights—so if you're looking for a quiet meal, consider arriving early. A few reviews noted that while the portions are generous, the menu leans more toward light bites than hearty mains.
