Marlin was hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had! He was so friendly and helpful, and somehow kept our drinks filled before we even realized they were running low. The food was amazing, the drinks were strong, and the whole experience was exactly what we needed. We’ll definitely be back!
The perfect texmex food... always busy esp weekends...
Fabulous food! I love the blackened salmon and the grilled avocado is amazing.
