    Our excellent waiter Felipe made our dinner with old friends so special! Both chicken and swordfish taco platteres were to die for. The staff was happy to split the generous wedge salad between two of us. Highly recommend this special desert spot!

    Sushi was very good, however we ordered the Ribeye and were very disappointed. I have never seen a ribeye that was maybe 1/2" thick. I would be embarrassed to serve this steak at a restaurant. We did send it back, but they only gave us 60% off. Very disappointing.

    Dear Greg, thank you for providing your feedback and letting us know about this issue. We set a high standard for ourselves and are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with our team. Please get in touch with our Restaurant Manager Travis Morgan, and we would be happy to help you out. Thank you.

    Great food and ambience the ONLY thing they need to improve on is to get with the times and offer non-alcoholic beverage choices on their menu like mos restaurants do these days!

    While we generally enjoyed the food, we do not intend to return. The noise level in the main dining room was untenable. We could barely hear each other over the din. As we left, we checked out the bar area which had a few tables. The noise was considerably quieter and if you feel you must go to this restaurant, consider eating in there.

    Dear Bill, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We would love to hear how we could earn 5 stars from you. If there is anything we can do to improve your experience, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you.

    The food here is VERY good! Their Lemon ricotta pancakes were literally the best pancakes I’ve ever had in my life! And the peach sangria was delightful. 5 stars. Highly recommend!

    Very loud! One of noisiest restaurants that I can recall. Hard to carry on a conversation. We had 4 people squeezed into a 3 person table and a bench for the 4th. Food was just okay.
