    Excellent food! Selections were unique and tasty. Pricing was reasonable. Our one issue was that it took one hour and fifteen minutes from ordering our food to having it served. I understood later that they were short some kitchen help--and I understand that they had no control over this; however, we only were told this after an hour, and only when I asked. Perhaps a free appetizer, or a 5% discount, or even just telling us at the beginning so we could decide if we wanted to wait or stay would have been nice, especially since we had a reservation. Food was good enough to alllllmost be worth the wait-- kudos to the cook!

    We arrived early enough to be the first to request sitting outdoors, so we had the area all to ourselves! I had the single Chili Relleno (delish), cup of chili (delish!) and the Vera Cruz Salad. The salad was not as tasty as I was expecting having only 4-5 very thin slices of avocado, "store-bought" tomatoes and barely any of the lime/olive oil dressing. My husband had the Cajun Jambalaya which was a hefty dinner which he enjoyed. Server was very attentive.
