The service and food were top notch! Unfortunately there was a Christmas parade happening outside and due to the openness of the restaurant, it was impossible to have a conversation. This is not the restaurants fault but it did impact our experience

All four of us enjoyed our meals. The steak was done just right and we would recommend to order with the veggies. The shrimp on both the smaller salads, made them very tasty. And finally the guacamole and chips were a good appetizer.
