- PSP S3 days ago5.0Loved the chicken nachos platter. Reasonably priced, large size and delicious. Fed three seniors. Our server Tori was friendly and attentive. A really nice meal and great service. Will visit here again soon.
- JEJay Edward3 days ago2.0Well...not the greatest, that's for sure. Wife ordered Surf & Turf (8oz) cooked medium with extra Surf (2 shrimp skewers w/4 pcs. per) I ordered same but 12 oz. steak. When order came, we each got shorted on the extra Surf and wife's steak was rare...almost tar-tar. Both of our skewered shrimp was overcooked to the point of being rubber and the lobster tails were weenie weenie. Oh...and two complimentary onion rings each...well, I got one and a half. Wife's wine was $10, served in a water glass plus two cocktail drinks. $140 later....uhm...nope. Never again....
- SLSuzanne Lamour6 days ago5.0We were in on Friday night, and our waitress Laura, was amazing! She greeted us with such a big smile and was extremely sweet and attentive to all of our concerns as Me and my hubby are very picky. Lol! (Recommended us the four cheese dip!) She made sure to check up on us multiple times without feeling intrusive, and extremely knowledgeable about all of our questions. 10/10 service. Thanks a lot!
- JIJedidiah INov 16, 20254.0A good time was had by all, great vibes and a decent atmosphere. Claire made our time a delight; responding promptly and accurately to our requests, all with a smile and great patience (as this one took a all the time to type in scene #, twice! ) . Thanks for having us.
- ACAlex CNov 8, 20252.0Service was really bad here. We went on a Tuesday night and waited over an hour for 2 single tacos after ordering. Over the course of the hour wait, we never had our server check on us. Once we got the tacos they also had errors. We unfortunately had to track down the server to even get and pay for the bill. Would not recommend.
