“Visited for the first time yesterday 2/17/24. Arrived at 4:38p and was informed that there was a 2-2.5 hour wait. My wife and I decided to wait it out. I stood for the next couple of hours watching the Manager and hostesses explain the wait and at one point due to full capacity explain that they could not accept any more seatings but to try calling in 1/2 hour or so to see if there were any cancellations. The entire time these young ladies were polite and courteous even when receiving rude reactions. We were seated and the drinks and food were well worth the wait. I felt that these 3 deserved some sort of reward for their efforts. I purchased a drink for the Manager as she was the only one of the 3 of drinking age and tipped the other 2, thanking them for all they did. We will for sure be back. Sayulita should be proud of you all!“
