    When will this place stop pretending it’s a club? Your food is good but overpriced, your dance floor is cramped and your popularity peaked in 2013. Please get rid of your bouncers, beyond dumb

    I'll still use the taco stand, but I won't set foot back in the upselling hellhole that is the dining room. Our server was a relentless money grubber. I felt like a tourist in Times Square.

    Food is great, service is horrible. The waiter rushed us multiple to finish each course. I mean really?

    Special thanks to the creators for the interior design. The expectations of regular gang criminal actions make food taste even more better!
