    Laura was an awesome server. Super friendly, welcoming, and attentive without hovering. She checked in at the right times, made sure everything was good, and had a great attitude the whole meal. Really made the experience better. Would definitely come back and hope to get her again.

    Laura was our server. She told us about a promotion they were having where we would get a free spinach dip if we left a review. We weren’t planning on getting an appetizer, but why not if it’s free! Made our experience that much better!

    We had reservations and were seated promptly. My wife ordered fajitas and liked them , I ordered a steak, to be done medium. The steak arrived barely cooked, with a deep red center and blood on the plate. Sent it back to be cooked, 2nd steak arrived with no difference from the first. Sent it back. 3rd steak arrived cooked completely through and hard as a rock, almost tasteless. The manager was kind enough to waive the cost of my dinner.
