Have our Christmas 🎄 party here, and we always have a great time. The bartenders are awesome, and the rest of the staff is top-notch. Not to mention the food is so good.

The bartender was just so irate and nasty and this is not a first experience. It is the second experience with the same bartender short Hispanic guy with a mustache . I felt the food was good but coming back over the last three years twice the bartender just terrible. an attitude that made us get up and leave without even eating we went two blocks up on the same side, The food and the service was amazing

I loved the modern place, open if you want outside or inside, there are two environments or rooms, there is no happy hour, it is not very economical, the divine drinks even the virgin versions are divine, the service is very good, the shrimp meat nachos are also divine, the salads, I liked everything 👍

Drinks were nasty and poorly mixed and the quesadilla wraps seemed like they were left out over night

Not only was the food excellent, but the staff couldn't have been friendlier. We had an early dinner since we have a 1 year old. I feel like the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome with our child.

Went back again, this time with 2 kids! Again we enjoyed excellent food and service.

Still a five star experience after years of going.

Great food, drinks, and staff. The place is huge and can easily host corporate events or team outings. Every dish I’ve had has been delicious. Love their margaritas and friendly staff!
