    Food was excellent! The staff was great and it was pretty busy. Loud, though that doesn't bother us. Live music was amazing! Great place, kid friendly!

    Lived here for 45 years and have never eaten here; cocktails at downtown location many years ago. Finally made it on my 61st birthday. Atmosphere was great. Live music wasn’t too loud. Very spacious for large get-togethers. Surprised me how fun it was. Self serve salsa bar was a bonus. Great chips. Lobster was good value and very tasty. But there are many other options. Their “buckets” (of food) are their signature dishes. They include lots of food to share. If you are not driving to Puerta Nuevo, this is your best, alternate option. Parking is easy or use valet for $7. Going back!

    The service could have been better. Our table was not set for 8 even though we had a reservation. So after getting our meals brought to us we had to find a server to bring us two sets. We had to ask for our extra items that were not brought with our bucket. Two Caesar salads and the tortillas and butter. We waited for our check for 15 minutes and had to ask for it. We eat at two of your other locations frequently and we have never had these issues.
