Food: Food is good if you ignore the prices

The Ensenada Fish Tacos and Shrimp Chile Relleno offer glimpses of culinary bliss, showcasing tasty creativity. The large portions are commendable, but there’s a lingering taste of disappointment tied to underwhelming freshness and high prices that leave a bad aftertaste.

  • Great Variety

    Extensive menu, unlimited servings, value with bottomless mimosas highlighted.

  • Okay Portions

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Portions sway.

Vibe: Captivating setting but lacking energy

The ambiance leans into romantic with charming lighting and decor that lures couples, while live music injects some life into the space. However, the sparse crowd creates an atmosphere more suitable for contemplative silence than lively laughter.

  • Great Sound

  • Okay Buzz

    Social media makes it appealing, but food and service vary.

Perks: Unbearable service paired with struggles

Navigating through parking troubles and slow, rude service dampens the experience. Reservations might as well be suggestions, as confusion reigns. Those hoping for efficiency will find frustrations surpassing the culinary excitement.

  • Great Outdoor

    Beautiful patio around a gorgeous tree creates a perfect date spot.

  • Okay Staff
