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 👍

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!
