As usual the food was wonderful. A portion of our meal included oysters on the half shell, fried oysters, oysters New Orleans style and crab meat cocktail. Some of the best ever and we have traveled the world. But perhaps the best part of our dining experience was our server Sammi. She is such a warm, personable and bright person. And she is an incredible communicator and a great listener. Sammi certainly enhanced our night out. To Cameron Mitchell: Good hire. Keep your eye on this young lady. She is one of the reasons your enterprise is so successful.

Starting with chips and queso; and Epic Rita Margarita. We then went to tacos which two were more than I should have eaten. They're overfilled and delicious. It is a nice vibe and the staff were always there when I needed them without being over-bearing. We will go back for sure and if you haven't been, well worth a visit.

We sat on a high top on the patio and the drinks and ambience were exceptional. Overall service was good, just slow once we got the check and were ready to pay. Food was ok, limited menu and just ok.. had a burger and my wife had the short ribs, both were just fine, a little bland. Would return for drinks, and maybe apps..
