Guacamole WAY too salty.”
— raw.reviews - Service character as customers describe it
- Mostly warm and friendly bar staff, but it is order-at-the-bar rather than table service and newcomers who sit and wait can feel overlooked“Super friendly staff, warm and inviting atmosphere ... I was ignored by staff because I had the audacity to sit down at a table and expect to be served. I didn't know you had to order at the bar”
