If you are looking for an eclectic atmosphere with friendly wait staff, good food, and drinks, this is a place worth trying. The only possible nit I could pick is parking can be difficult to find depending on the time of day. Excellent place for brunch, too.

The name “State of Confusion” is honestly very fitting as we had some trouble finding the host stand because the place was so lively. The food was really good though! My only gripe was that it was a tad bit too loud to where I could hardly hear my wife.

The salad and ceviche was delicious. The alligator bites were good, also the sauce was too lemony for us. The drinks were great (and strong)! The service was fantastic (sorry I can't remember our server's name). The price was reasonable for what we got. The desserts were oh so good and the pecan pie was so good, I had to restrain myself from licking my plate ;)
