    Good thing we had a reservation because this place is very popular. The food is fantastic, very fresh! Prices are not relative to what you get. My non-alcoholic Caesar was $9+ for some tomato juice? I would go back to this place.

    The best part was a flight of margaritas. They were delicious.
