    We've been here a couple of times now, and the service always great, food delicious, and ambiance on the patio is beautifully embellished with lights and a water fall. Even though it's starting to get colder, they had heaters around the tables that made it comfortable and enjoyable to be outside. We will be back soon!!

    The patio dining was great with white noise of a waterfall and a well appointed outdoor area. The service was outstanding and the whole team worked together seamlessly. The dinner meals were large proportions and chef prepared. We will be coming back to eat here again.

    Food was overpriced and not portioned. Our table looked at the food, underwhelmed what we all ordered. Service was quick. Some food was bland and mush. The only highlight to the place was the ambiance. Will come back when they add more food to the plates.

    We were visiting Fresno, CA and decided to try Saturday brunch. We were not disappointed. We made reservations and enjoyed the beautiful and relaxing patio along with delicious food. We experienced great service; including a “fly fan” to keep the flies away. We truly enjoyed brunch and would definitely recommend this place!

    Mimosas were lukewarm and not bottomless as thought. A long wait for the food which was very basic, but the bacon was good. Unfortunately I won’t return for brunch.

Your stellar customer service image is extremely delightful & refreshing.

    The server was wonderful it just took a long time for food and drinks to come out. The ahi said it came on a tostada but it was a side of tortilla chips. Tacos were a little cold but still yummy. Burger was ordered medium and came out medium well and a bit dry but still yummy

    We waited nearly an hour to get our food. The food was very bland, and not particularly well cooked. The biscuits and gravy were tiny, and lacked flavor. The quiche with spinach was 80% spinach, and had a thin layer of ham and egg. The chorizo burger had almost no flavor, did not taste like it was seasoned, and was overcooked. Their mimosa’s are strong, which was the only positive point of our meal. The service was practically nonexistent, it was fairly empty, yet after getting our drinks and ordering food, did not see our waitress for over 40 minutes. At which point she said food would be out shortly. We next saw her a few minutes later when she brought our food, and then after we were done eating and our dishes were cleared she refilled our water. I will not be returning.

    Our burgers were ordered medium and medium-rare, but all came well done. We were disappointed in the burgers we ate as they didn't live up to the menu description. The service was adequate but not exceptional. With those factors in mind, it's overpriced in my opinion.

    The restaurant wasn't very busy tonight, the food seemed oldish. The chips with the AHI were stale and it overall was a flavorless dish. Presentation was also lacking. The short rib tacos were decent, once again lacking some kind of punch in the flavor dept. We had their short rib nachos -very good! Crispy chips, tasty toppings. Nothing to OOOO or AAAA about but the venue is great for a sit down with friends on the patio. The bartender made a terrible old fashioned...pure sweet. I had to keep asking for less sugar. The girls drinks were said to be good but overly sweet. This place seemed a bit down...like if someone was dying in the hospital. It definitely could use a pick me up, a better chef and some advertising after all that.

    Sunday lunch for three. I had never been there before. The restaurant is very attractive, open with a nice patio. We dined inside due to the heat. I guess they were really busy or shorthanded as it took about 15 minutes to be able to order a drink from our server. The food included two spicy chicken sandwiches and a classic burger. The burger originally was served with the wrong side order so they had to switch that out. The spicy chicken sandwiches were dry, possibly over cooked or maybe it just seemed that way due to the crunchy breading on the chicken. We also ordered the spicy mango margaritas which were not spicy at all. While I appreciate the location and the fun lively atmosphere, the food and drinks were just mediocre. I will probably only be back just to have a drink at the bar with someone.
