" The ambiance was lovely, but I was disappointed with my meal. I ordered the chicken enchiladas but they were a little bland for my taste. The service was fine, but I expected more given the reviews. Maybe I'll give it another try but my first impression left me underwhelmed. 3/5 overall. " (*Curated Review*)
