    Food was incredible, everything was amazing. Crispy Shrimp deviled eggs were soooo good. Steaks were perfect - tender, flavorful, cooked to perfection. Only thing that wasnt 5 star - service was good - but no exceptional. Waiter spoke so fast it was difficult to understand him. Lacked that personal touch...

    This restaurant is such a wonderful place to eat. With family, friends and date nights. The food is always delicious. The staff is quick with recommendations and descriptions. The drinks are unreal. Well balanced and a lot of thought into their construction and quality. Mary, Mark and Tammy make all their guests feel like family!

    Our server was pleasant, I but think the overall staff was overwhelmed with the number of customers on Christmas evening making for unusually long gaps between being seated, placing a cocktail order, getting the drinks and finally getting food 45 minutes after getting a table. Street tacos were excellent, and while the Cadillac Margarita was good, it was not exceptional. But many thanks for being open on the holiday!!!!
