Rude inattentive waiter, small servings and expensive. Watchout for the bald guy with beard...

Lots of great Gluten Free options. Even their GF tortilla chips are fried in a dedicated fryer.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this place. It also seems like a nice place to bring a family-type group as well. Reasonable number of food options, I enjoyed the mini margarita drink. Even got a few little chunks of mango while sipping! Burrito was a good size. Salsa dish is a little shallow but staff will bring refills so that was fine. It was fun playing a bit of corn hole in front before leaving.

Pleasantly surprised! We've had this restaurant on our list for years and finally tried it on a Friday night! We were seated immediately.
Every item on my plate was delicious. I had the shrimp fajitas. I paired it with a frozen man berry margarita and wow it hit the spot! Tyler was so attentive and friendly and the atmosphere here is lovely. I thought we would hear the music from the Karaoke bar next door but we didn't. Draft beer is also very good. If you have had this restaurant on your list as well, you should give it a try!
