" I was really looking forward to our reservation but was let down by slow service. Our server seemed overwhelmed, and it took ages to get our drinks. The food was good, though, so it didn’t ruin our experience completely. Just needs to work on efficiency! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience was fantastic! Each dish was full of flavor, from their chilaquiles to the avocado toast. The atmosphere was cozy and lively—definitely a memorable outing with friends. I will come again next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was good, but I felt the menu was a bit overpriced for what you get. The flavors didn't blow me away, but the atmosphere was nice and the waiter was attentive. It was overall a decent experience, but I'm not sure if I'll return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Descanso after hearing great things, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The food was good, but not fantastic. The service felt rushed and there were delays in getting our drinks. The ambiance was nice though, and it has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed our visit! The flavors of the food were impressive, and I loved the lively atmosphere. The only shoe drop was the wait for food. When it arrived, it was hot and fresh, so we were happy overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun dining experience! The entertainment factor of cooking at the table was great. Our chef was engaging and the food tasted fresh. I particularly loved the seafood options. The only downside was that I found the prices to be slightly on the higher side. " (*Curated Review*)

" The location is wonderful, and there was a live band during brunch which made our time even more enjoyable! I loved their breakfast tacos—so tasty! The only downside was the slight wait for a table. " (*Curated Review*)
