The food was average and it was good. We went in today 3/31/26 we were the first costumers and we were told we had to wait 20 minutes because they just opened up and have nothing ready we waited it was fine whatever( btw kind of unprofessional for a restaurant to open and not be ready) but then people walked in for take out she served everyone and left us last. Waiter just seem confused lost and uninterested in serving us. Bad service decent food but we won’t coming back

I held my daughter's party at the new venue and it was exactly as I imagined, or even better 👏🏻👏🏻 All my guests loved the venue and everything that was served there.

Every time I place a delivery order with them, something is either missing or the order is wrong. Then, to fix the mistake, they say, “Sorry, we’ll have our driver bring it to you.” And the order takes more than two hours to arrive. Even though the açaí and the food are good, the service is terrible! They are not organized and lack professionalism.
