    We went for dinner on Valentine’s Day. We were the second couple to walk in, and were awkwardly greeted by the staff. They allowed us to pick our own table (yaaaay! 👀). It took a while for them to bring us the menus. My wife asked if the sangria was white or red, she was told white...it was red. But the server (Seth?) never came back to clarify, and just brought it out. At the beginning, there were long pauses between Seth coming to check on us, but we finally placed our order and started listening to the live music...a guitar soloist...cool. Dude played two songs and took a break...and never played again for the 90’minutes we were there....so they asked Google (multiple times) to play music...cool. But these weren’t even the biggest issues...there was a dog in the establishment. While we didn’t see it, it sounded like it was coming from the kitchen...yes, the kitchen. It was just one bark...that dog barked plenty of times... While the food was surprisingly good, the portion size was...okay. For dessert I ordered the strawberry and bananas with while cream...Seth brought out the mixed berries (the other dessert option). All in all it wasn’t a great experience. That’s the last time my wife trusts me to make a dinner reservation 😭😭😭

    Our reservation with Open Table was for 1:30pm; the restaurant had it as 1:00pm, which worked out well because we arrived early and the restaurant closed at 2:00pm that day. We waited a long time to be seated and then still no water or cutlery. They seemed to be short staffed. We weren't aware that it was buffet only and had selected the restaurant based on the menu accessed through Open Table. Menu items were in the $10-$15 range and the buffet was $25 per person. With a party of 8, our meal cost a lot more than we expected. Having said all that, the food was delicious!

    I plan to go back to see whether it's any different when it's not a holiday. I may recommend it after a different experience. Though the menu Open Table provided was their standard fare, one of the reasons we went there, there was no menu provided at any time and the only thing we were asked about were drinks. The very pleasant volunteer guitarist passed a drink menu from another table. There was a small buffet set up, which we were not expecting, and we were never told to help ourselves. We flagged down our waitress after 20 minutes or so and asked if we were supposed to help ourselves. We were never given the option to order off the menu instead. We weren't aware this was an option until we saw others around us (who apparently were regulars) order something that was not a part of the buffet. We had to ask friends at a table near us to direct waitstaff to our table so we could get a mimosa. In spite of all that, the staff and guest were very friendly and the food we did have was very good.

    The service was outstanding. We were greeted the second we walked in the door. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Will definitely make a return trip.

    Adore this place. It’s been a while that I go to a restaurant I truly loved. Jane was our waitress and for a minute i thought she knew my sister in law because she greeted her with so much warmth! My sister in law recommended this place but she had never met her before. Those are the kind of people that should be in customer service. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. We felt right at home. Nothing but smiles and good vibes. Cozy and quaint little place with a serene atmosphere. Felt like I was going over to a family members house for dinner! I would recommend this place Times a thousand if I could. Great selection of food. Menu isn’t large and confusing. Right to the point. If I could give the place 10 stars I would. Jane definitely deserves 10 stars. Best customer service I’ve had in a loooonnnng time. Don’t procrastinate people. Go to TESOROS CAFE!
