I should mention that the door that opens wide when the weather is nice seems to invite them in. Aside from that, the restaurant was clean and the waiter was exceptionally friendly.

One dish was entirely off; instead of the salad we ordered, we received a quesadilla. The other dish, a wrap, was supposed to be without peanut sauce due to an allergy, but of course it came drenched in peanut sauce. I'm sure they would have offered to remake everything, but we didn't want to wait around for that again. It would have been helpful if the server had taken our order down properly from the start. When we explained our situation to the staff as we were leaving, they didn't seem to respond much. We ended up going down the street to Frutas Locas y Mas, and it was fantastic—delicious food, friendly service, and quick service. We will definitely be returning there, so "tap" that!

Apparently I wasn’t supposed to sit down after I ordered at the bar, but a server seated us and said she would bring our drinks to the table. The bartender came by a few minutes later obviously angry with us for not waiting for our drinks and belittled me, scoffed, turned her back , walked away before I could even speak to her. Yikes!!

The flavors, seasonings, and the smoky taste of the salmon were just right. The loaded fries with the house cheese sauce were incredibly delicious too! My wife ordered the chicken Caesar wrap, and she loved it, but the house aioli chipotle sauce that came with it was something special on its own. Whoever makes the sauces and the chowder base should really consider bottling and selling them!
