Sitting outdoors, our family enjoyed a perfectly-lighted, lively patio. Even on a chilly night, the heaters maintained a sense of coziness outside. The food, made from fresh ingredients, simply tastes good. The natural, homemade tortillas were a glowing highlight. However, the food, while plentiful, lacked refinement. The fresh ingredients were put together too simply, and parts of the meal "lacked imagination". Expect a thirty minute wait for your food. The small, popular restaurant is unequipped to accomodate a hefty crowd... read more

Good Spanish Mexican fusion We had a nice supper. I had the paella. It was very good. My wife had the quesadilla and a bowl of soup. The service was great. It was a little noisy, but was still a very enjoyable meal.

Just Keep On Driving – I took a look at the menu and though I would try it out. The prices seemed a little steep for what they were serving but I figured I would give it a try. I should have gone with my gut and kept on driving. The presentation looked great but I couldn't believe how cheap the ingredients tasted. Nothing seemed fresh. The salmon was very bland (probably farm raised) and the papaya salsa was watered down. On top of that the staff in general seemed cocky and as if they did not have the customers interest in m... read more

Please try this restaurant yourself before taking the word of Negative reviews! – I have never taken the time to write reviews of anything much less posting them. But last week I took a mini vacation and was spending time at the Four Seasons with my partner and son. I decided to check out a few places to eat before I went and frankly didn't go to any of the ones that I saw had negative reviews. Which I NOW realize is a huge mistake. Curiously I decided to look up Cava and to my shock I've seen negative reviews on more than a... read more

Don't try to return food here. – Usually if you try to return food that has been 1/3rd consumed or less, and say that it is not good, they will return it and not ask you to pay correct? Well not at this place. The food was OK, I honestly was not impressed with the place at all, from the annoying fountain that was splashing water on me to the cold calamari. The manager was extremely rude to me when I asked if I could be on my way without paying for the meal that I did not eat. I honestly will never go back here EVER, and high... read more

Great great great! – Wonderful all the way around; from the chips with three different salsas to my calamari salad. It was the most inventive and delicious salad ever, with bananas, mangos, jicama, cashews and perfectly non-battered, fried calamari. As a bonus, lunch was served by a very gorgeous Brazilian waiter with clear blue eyes and tanned skin. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, in what can be a very uppity town.
