    We’ve been here twice now since they opened. The service is fantastic. We have only tried a few things on the menu so far and mostly everything was good. We got the lobster queso again and it did not disappoint. I recommend it. The homemade chips are seasoned perfectly. The steaks are good quality and cooked well. The salads are fresh. Last time I got a burger and it was delicious. I tried the hot honey chicken sandwich today and was not impressed, but think others would like it. We will definitely be back.

    Took my wife there for Valentine's Day, food was phenomenal, the atmosphere was very cozy, quiet and perfect for a romantic night out. Service was a bit on the slow side, however, they were very busy, so not a major complaint. The staff was still very attentive. We will definitely be back. The patio outside looks like a perfect place for a summer date night.
