    First time here with a friend and I was a little hesitant because I am definitely someone who likes to stick with what I know, but she insisted on trying this place and I’m glad we went because it was great! I didn’t have high hopes for our food because what we had ordered were pretty basic items, but it was literally so good and everything was super tasty, way better than expected. I got the strawberry margarita and I swear it was perfect, so yummy. The presentation of our food was nice as well. We also had a great waitress, she was super friendly. Everything was clean and the inside was relaxing, and it’s not overly expensive. Good pricing for having a really meal & drinks. The only thing we were disappointed with was we were really looking forward to eating outside because it was a sunny day and we were not able too!

    great service awesome music as usual but only concern is that we read a note on our reserved table that read that we can no longer make reservations, this is going to be a tough one, my wife an I have our date/dinner/dance nights there and we make reservations because I get out of work with very little time to spare before our dinner dates 5:45 band starts at 6:00 thanks, Manny

    We went to celebrate Father's day and reserved the VIP experience. It didn't disappoint us. The band was awesome and the food and drinks were great.
