There was no flavor in the food. Grilled shrimp was cold, as if just took them out of the fridge. No salt or pepper was used on the chicken fajita.Horrible food. We stopped eating after 5 minutes after the food was served. Will not recommend eating here.

Was just here for dinner and my partner was double charged for the meals, the manager himself said it didn't go through and yet but showed as going through on his bank statement, the manager had the audacity to tell my partner to respect his employees who can't do their job worth a damn, the food sucked and we'll never be back here again.

The server Chris was outstanding - he took our order and everyone else’s order in the restaurant- served it , was bartender and cleaned up after as well . Including his friendly and joyful hospitality and attitude. He deserves a huge bonus !!! An exceptional employee for sure!!!!!

Chris, a Swiss army knife, bartender, waiter, host, bus person, and general outgoing guy, was awesome! Sam, our waitress (table of 8), took our drink, appetizers orders, main course orders, without writing one thing down...and got it all 100% correct!! ...and agreed to break up the bill into pairs so we didn't have to break it all down,..OMG! Great time, not 1 complaint about the food, and absolutely top shelf service...how can you go wrong?! Answer: you can't. 4 out of 4 stars. Go see if I'm wrong...I'm not!

A few days ago my family and I came here because we’ve been here a couple times before and know they usually provide very fast service. My dad had somewhere to go so we picked here because of how reliable it had been. However, we got sat and didn’t even get noticed until 45 mins in. We sat there with no server other servers came and went it was as if we were invisible. Finally a BARTENDER noticed us and got them to grab someone who wasn’t even in our section. Sadly my dad had to leave hungry because even after ordering we still had to wait another 30’mins (in a relatively quiet restaurant) before receiving our food. We never got an apologize, never got a manger to come out and acknowledge the issue, and didn’t receive any form of compensation for our convenience and members of our party having to leave early with an empty stomach. We paid full price and I even was going to order a dessert but considering how long everything took decided against it. They lost a whole meal and a dessert from being ordered and we never once received any form of an apology. We have been coming here quite regularly, but now we’ve lost the trust we thought we had in its reliability and good service.

First time and last.not too busy, but I saw 5 employees sitting 1 (Jocelyn)girl helping like 5 tables no one helping her she was making drinks bringing food out .I asked for a margarita spicy. Not good, very sweet. I asked to take off my bill, and they never didBy the time me and husband was almost done eating our server disappear, and this sweet girl, Kate was the only one working by herself again. No one is helping her.

Nice interior and exterior-- however don't let the looks fool you. The food is decent, I cannot complain, its either a hit or miss though. Great chips and salsa hands down! I would not go out of my way to go here, it's a place you need to be "in the mood for". Staff is very limited, and most staff members make it seem like it's an inconvenience for you to be there. I'm not exactly sure if I would recommend or not.Vegetarian options: LimitedKid-friendliness: They have things your kids can color, lots of decor your kids can look around out (a good game of eye spy while waiting for your meal).
