Delicious meal, fun atmosphere. Perfect location to go to Hobby Center for show after dinner. We came about 1 1/2 hour prior to show, parked in the Hobby Center garage, and walked over. The service was fantastic- the server even told us about the resident fish. We have been before and will definitely return.

This was our first time eating here. We had theater tickets and thought it would be convenient to have dinner here first. Cocktails were great , the dinner salad was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed my entree. I had the red fish and my husband had trout. He didn’t particularly like his fish. The dessert was amazing as well. We will definitely go back
