We are visiting from Atlanta and our first time here. Very underwhelmed. My husband ordered Chicken Milanese and it was fried so much that it looked blackened and was cold. I ordered Santa Fe salad which was okay but the chicken with it was cold and very dry. Looked precooked. Not a fan here.

Service and food were great! Gabe did a great job recommending menu items. Definitely recommend the Dr. Pepper ribs and Dragon Berry mojito. Delicious! Fish n chips could have been a bit crispier but were good as well.
