Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere... Snooty service. Never going back.

What a shame that such great food was not matched by the service or ambiance. Our server was blatently rude to my husband and the hotesss acted like a bouncer at a ritzy night club...once you are seated it is so tight and cramped that you feel like you are in a cafeteria. We went on a Saturday night and waited over 2 hours because they do not take reservations. I think it is classless to require an $18 minimum per person in an upscale restuarant. I like the BYOB concept but if there had been an opening anywhere else we would have jumped to another restaurant. Great food but will never return due to service and ambiance.

The food here is really good. The policies and the attitude of the wait staff could be improved. Like another reviewer, I was turned off by the $18 minimum per guest. I'm 42 years old, I eat out a lot, and I've never heard of anything like that. We asked our server if they could waive the policy, since I was only ordering an appetizer, but my wife ordered a full dinner, and they did waive it. We were ready to walk out if they didn't. Even still, the people who run this restaurant make you feel like it's a privilege to eat there. The cash only policy, the minimum, and the unfriendly wait staff all combine to make the place less enjoyable. It's really a shame, because the food is great. We were there on a Saturday night, and there were empty tables at Lolita while El Vez had a 45 minute wait, so maybe their unfriendly policies are catching up with them.

First off: this place has the gall to require the patron to order a minimum of $18 worth of food. Say wha?! Second: it's cash only, which is annoying. Finally, I'd be hard pressed to think of a time when I encountered poorer service--ranging from the hostess, to the expediters, to the infuriatingly rude waitress. Just. Don't. Go.

Dismal service. Mediocre food.

This was recommended to us by a friend but when I read the reviews about the service I was hesitant. What a surprise, my husband and I loved it!! Not only was the food so flavorful , the service by our waitress Amanda was terrific! We NEVER felt rushed or like an annoyance. We would definitely go back and bring friends.

Although the food was delicious at Lolita, we were frustrated with how rude our server was. She took our half finished dessert away without asking and gave the impression that she was angry to be working there. At the end of our meal, (with two other couples in the restaurant) the entire waitstaff stood in the back and stared at us to leave. The food was good, but we will never go back and recommend not going because of the poor service.
