    Food was pretty good. I had the ceviche as an appetizer. It was good but it needed a little spice. so I asked for some hot sauce and they gave me the habanero one and it made it perfect. For brunch I had that crab benedict with eggs over easy on top, house potatoes and fruit. Benedict and potatoes were good together soaked up all the yolk with the potatoes and Benedict toast. Fruit was just ok. All cantaloupe with just 1 piece of pineapple. I like more of an evenly mix instead of one fruit taking over. Wifey had the chicken and waffles. She said Waffles, and house made infused butter were good fluffy and crispy. Chicken was crispy, and Juicy,but lacked a bit in seasoning. I tried a piece of the chicken and threw some Crystal hot sauce on it which made it better. Definitely was crispy and juicy but needs maybe a little longer Brine time, or seasoning. We also had a couple drinks. Wife had the chocolate Margarita and I had a couple cantaritos. She loved the chocolate bean margarita. My first cantarito was okay lacked something I think too much ice, but the second one was much better! Service was great! Our waitress was helpful and took care of us quickly and also checked on us frequently. Kept getting refills on our water which was great. And as soon as we're done with our appetizers plates etc they were picked up quickly. Atmosphere was nice in the dining area. Only issue was when we left there is a bunch of 40 whiners fans having like a watch party in the bar area. I thought that sucked because I'm a raider fan! Lol. I had my Raiders jersey and hat on!! So, i probably wouldn't go there when they're having one of those watch parties.

    This place has gone down over the years, brought my parents here last week food was great service wasn’t, the only time we seen our waiter was when he took our order brought our food and the bill never once did he come to see if we needed refill's on water or if we needed anything else, a week later my parents wanted to come back because they enjoyed the food especially the wings . On this visit it was basically the same for the service, we seen our waiter twice as they were too concern for a very large party that took the whole dining area , but also on this visit the food was terrible we ordered wings because we liked the wings on the first visit they were terrible no salt or flavor on them, no consistency at all, also ordered the pork bites , they tasted like they were left overs getting ready to spoil. I just think as much money as you spend at this place the service and food should be for what you pay for and it is definitely not

    The food is delicious, I especially love the mushroom risotto, both with prawns and chicken, or just on it's own. Everything is fresh, presented well and safely sealed when ordering delivery. We look forward to trying other offerings soon. The salmon salad is also very good.
