The restaurant was festively decorated for Christmas and there was a happy Holiday vibe! We had a fantastic, fun, personable waitress, and as usual, the food was exquisitely prepared & delicious! We couldn’t ask for anything more!

The food and drink menus are exceptional. The lemon cello spritzer and filet minion are hands down my favorites. The modern, beautifully renovated space and outdoor patio are top notch. Highly recommend going to brunch and for dinner when they have live music!

I had dinner with my two toddlers. Enjoyed the scenery right next to Mesa-Gateway airport. We saw several planes land and take off and there was an Air Force cargo plane parked right near the restaurant. The kids ate all their food (not surprising) - Mac N Cheese and fries, and I had the barrio quesadilla (shredded chicken). The meals were good and tasty. No complaints. there It was a little louder than expected, but it was also "Trivia" night, though it was not obnoxiously loud. The volume was tolerable and didn't diminish the experience with my kids. Overall, worth going back to again. It's a good place for food fun with family and friends. Most of the tables inside and outside were occupied, but not overly busy. Will be going back soon.
