This was my first experience and I enjoyed every bit of it all. The service was very exceptional. I didn’t get the bartender name but the woman that was at the bar was amazing when it came to making the drinks. My waitress Britney was awesome, she was very down to earth and respectful and she was very attentive to the needs of me and my girlfriends when it came to our order. I would definitely recommend this restaurant too everyone. The ambience was beautiful and it had a great vibe.

My boyfriend and I went there to have dinner on New Year’s Day. The lamb chops were the best we have ever ate there. The food is phenomenal. This was definitely one of our best experiences there. I don’t know if they have a new chef because the last time the lamb chops were over salted and seasoned. But we had an amazing experience. Thank you Texas De Brazil!!!!
