First time visiting and really enjoyed it. The food and drinks were very good. Tried the flight of margaritas. From that I picked my favorite and had 2 of them. The hostess and busboy were very nice. Unfortunately our waitress lacked some personality. Not very friendly and had to ask to have her return to take our order. Had to ask her twice to bring a couple items.

Service was great, ambience, and facility is really nice. Pizza is lacking, the taste is good, but crust doesn’t hold toppings, is floppy and even a bit soggy

This is our second year celebrating Mother's Day at this location. We are always so pleased with the customer service and the accommodations they provide us with. We come to this location a lot and doesn't matter if we have a small party or a very big party, there's always a table for us. We have never waited more than 15min and in honesty, that only happened one's. The food is always so delicious, the waiters are very friendly and every thing is wonderful. Thank You for the professionalism.
