    Very nice restaurant and great service!! The margaritas are 10/10! Chips & Salsas is warm and chips are lightly salted and so soft when you bite into them. Perfect date night vibes! Drove all the way from Galveston to enjoy the vibes!!!

    Great time, great food, great service on a great occasion as my wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. The owner blessed us with free glasses of champagne as well as one of his custom cigars. Spread the word and invite others to experience this lovely restaurant as well.

    Chef David: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Our server, along with a server in training, provided attentive, professional service throughout the evening. The only disappointment came with the guest experience. We noticed Chef Jennifer, who was promoting the featured menu, visiting every table in the restaurant, including guests seated at the bar, except ours. After asking our server who she was, we learned she was introducing herself and the featured selections to guests. What struck us wasn’t simply that our table was missed. As she passed our table several times, there was no greeting, smile, or acknowledgment. A simple, “Good evening,” or, “I hope you’re enjoying everything,” would have gone a long way. Hospitality is about making every guest feel welcome, and unfortunately, that was the one part of an otherwise excellent dining experience that fell short.
