    Food was good and the service was just fine. The inside smelled terrible, we eat on the patio which was nice.

    Music was too loud, but I asked the waiter if it could be turned out and it was. It took a while to order, but it was a large party so that was probably part of it.

    Great good! We had a party of 12 and the food service was quick. Everything came out at the same time. Our server was on top of drinks & checking in with us. We recommend the House Nachos! Soooo good!
