Not impressed!

I agree with the other commentaries here. The service was some of the worst I have ever seen. The bartenders completely ignored my friend and I as soon as we walked up to the bar, even though they had both made eye contact with us right away. It was if they tried to find every possible task to complete in sight before they even acknowledged our presence. The woman acted like she was totally put out by us bothering her and she just wanted everyone to go away. We were in the bar for 2 hours because we had agreed to meet people there and I managed to flag her done twice the entire time I was there. There was no effort to try and serve on a first come, first serve basis, so I had to wait almost 30 minutes after I had finished my drink to get a new one. The place was simply not crowded enough at all for that kind of thing to happen. Not impressed!

Pros: The interior setting is pretty nice actually

Cons: The employees ruin the atmosphere

Editor's Review

Spanish fare is served with a flare at this Gaslamp hotspot. On weekends, come for the food, stay for the party.  See the full editorial review.
