My husband and I ate here for the first time on Saturday and everything was such a great experience. Our waitress Crystal was very pleasant and attended to our needs the entire time we were there. The drinks she made us were delicious and probably the best pina colada and frozen raspberry margarita we ever had. We will definitely be going back.
