    The service from the host stand to the waitress was below average. I can’t say that they had bubbly personalities. They could work on being more anticipatory of customers needs and paying more attention to the orders and the bill. Our bill was incorrect 3 times and it was not a difficult split between couples. Two of our drink orders were also incorrect and it obvious by the glasses they were served in. The food was okay. Its not my first choice in restaurants but I would come back and recommend it but with much lower expectations. We have been here a few times before and generally their drinks are good. Service was just okay before. Good atmosphere.

    D & S has gone downhill fast. Service has never been great but was downright terrible for Mothers Day. Server had no clue, bill was messed up and had to ask the server about an overcharge twice and then had to end up bringing the issue to the manager. Manager had no clue and referred to the menu which did not reflect the point he was trying to make. Fix your menu to reflect what you want to charge or charge what is on your menu! Both were very defensive and lacked any reasonable judgment when dealing with a frustrated customer. Food is slightly above average and eggs that were asked to be over medium with egg white not slimy were made with slimy egg whites!?!? They did correct it and took 20 minutes for the corrected plate that was cooked to a crisp! Been going here for years but that was the last time we will be going there.

    Our first time trying out the brunch menu, there was 5 of us and everyone said the food was ok, nothing special 🤷‍♀️ I ordered a cocktail and couldn’t finish it, wasn’t very good. I’ve been here for dinner before and loved it, however we won’t be coming back for brunch.

    The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the seating options. The tables for 2 are quite uncomfortable for those of us on the shorter side.

    It was our anniversary date; we were seated quickly at 5:30pm on a Saturday. Our server was good. We were asking questions about gluten information and then about drinks. I guess we had too many questions even though we were told it was ok to ask. The bartender came over and said she would answer our questions since the server was having to come back and forth. She told us she couldn't just make us a custom drink with rum, that she could make a mojito or stormy night. She asked if we had any other questions then darted off quickly. She definitely didn't have much hospitality in her demeanor. The whole interaction put a bad taste in our mouth. We just decided to not even get a mixed drink. Apparently the bartend can only make drinks from guide book. Probably should find a difference career.

    My husband had a hair in his tacos. I specifically requested a nice table and we were literally seated in the worst table possible, at least in my opinion. The food was just ok - it's a one and done for our group.

    The food was delicious! We had the trout, chicken sandwich, and a chocolate dessert. The drinks are also delicious! The one thing I wish had been different was the plating of the trout. Everything was piled upon each other and was the same shade of brown/grey sitting on top of baby food green purée. The appearance of the dish could use work, but is still very tasty!! We had nice, attentive wait staff and food didn’t take long to come from kitchen. The decor was awesome, music wasn’t bad, and everyone seemed happy to be there. Overall, it was a good experience and I’d come back again. Thanks for having us.

    Diablo and Sons is growing on me. The craft cocktails are thoughtful and well balanced. The tres leches and flan desserts were outstanding! My salmon was cooked perfectly over a nice bed of rice with plenty of tasty coconut broth with a hint of heat. The owner Dave Crick does a great job with all his restaurants - Well done guys!

    Fun atmosphere no complaints… … brunch menu was good. I had basic eggs sausage and potatoes, it wasn’t very warm which was disappointing. Eggs were done perfectly though and they have little mini gluten free bites that are amazing! Also ordered the beignets, some not fully cooked but good flavor. I’ll go again.

    I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly and given my menu. I had a cocktail and ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop. The pork chop was cooked perfectly but had at least 25% fat I had to trim off. This may be normal but I like meat. As I’m not a complainer, I enjoyed what I had and would go back but not have the pork chop.
