We took my grandma for a late mother's day dinner. She had the best time. We just wish the mariachi didn't end so early.

First time I sat at a table instead of the bar. Brooke was a fantastic waitperson, I loved The World’s Best Martini, and the Gone With the Caesar salad was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.
