    We came for an 88th birthday celebration. I wanted short ribs, so ordered a lunch sandwich. The birthday gal - had cornchowder soup and a chicken sandwich. My 2 friends sharded a chicken salad and a steak sandwich. I wanted the time to be special and each friend was totally delighted! Sometimes senior women are had to please but the staff accommodated 3 walkers. They allowed us plenty of time to chat and were attentive to bring addition items upon request. Thank you for helping make our time special with a light dessert, 5 stars from me!

    This was our first visit to Blind Coyote, we had been many times when it was the Blind Pig. The food was delicious, the servers were so attentive. Loved the variey of food choices, everyone can find something they love. The chips were honestly the best tortilla chips I think I may have ever had. The portions were big, we got the Caesar salad with a jalapeño dressing that was amazing. The black beans, 10 outta 10.

    We had someone with a nut allergy and the manager went out of their way to make a separate plate which was much appreciated. Lovely service over Thanksgiving.
