    Very good food and customer service. The only thing is there was a gassy smell outdoors. It was a little strong but the heaters were off so I don’t know.

    Ate here with our son and his fiancé. We all had delicious meals from the Baja bucket to the surf and turf to the 3 taco plate. We ate outside on the patio and enjoyed the great weather.

    Our server got one of the entrees wrong so my brother sat with no food until about 1/2 way through the meal and then got his entree. When we asked if they were going to do something to make up for it --we were told to take it up with the manager. Other than that - the food was fine and the lobster was good.

    Amazing experience, as usual, for my son's birthday. We've gone here for 12 years to celebrate....Chris was the best!

    We felt like they were rushing us through our meal. They had just brought us the salad and then immediately after they brought us the main course, and we had just barely finished dinner and the dessert came. I would have appreciated a little more time seeing the bill was around $150.00 for two people. Also, the chicken and the steak in the bucket had no flavor to it.
