    Came on a Thursday for lunch, much to our surprise it was happy hour all day! Tried a few appetizers from the HH menu, ahi tuna tacos and tuna tartare and both were fabulous. Note the tartare was on the smaller portion so if looking for a light snack this is perfect but if you are hungry you might need to add or get something else. I'd go back for those alone. Parking could be a bit challenging but we were there early enough that it was fine. Server was great too.

    Fabulous experience! Steak, chicken and shrimp was melted in your mouth and full of flavor. Frozen cocktails and beer were amazing! The staff was very happy to accommodate my dairy allergy and cooked my food off to the side of the grill or gave me my portion before putting real butter on the food. I so very much appreciated that and that in itself made my night and my tummy very happy! Guillermo was our chef. Again...outstanding show, awesome personality and food cooked to perfection! Jack was our server. Great whenever we had questions. Awesome personality. Excellent through and through and was on top of any and all needs we and the other guests at our table had!
