Always a great dining experience! Our server, Israel was excellent. John, the owner stopped by to say hello which is always impressive! We were celebrating an anniversary, and it’s always neat to receive a call from Arleen to be sure that our special event is celebrated at the restaurant.

Fantastic dinner. David Shannon rocks. Every morsel was over-the-top delicious and Kendel, our server, couldn't have been more polished, personable, and professional. The Vegan Orgy on Texas Beach was a complete flavor banger as promised, I would sell my soul for another bite of the Swank Bank — the whole thing is obscenely delicious, and the halibut was, of course, to die for. Thank you for a special birthday dinner.
