    We had a lovely dinner to celebrate my father’s birthday. Elyse our server was very nice and attentive, she comped our drinks because the coffee machine was broken and we had ordered coffee because it was so cold so that was really nice. Gabby the manager even came over several times to make sure we were having a terrific experience. Gabby was so sweet and made us feel like we were family and kept checking on us to make sure our food was perfect, she even brought us togo containers before we needed to ask because she saw we were going to need them. Gabby even made sure that my Dad was brought out a delicious birthday dessert! Elyse & Gabby provided excellent service and we will definitely be back very soon. Sauced BBQ & Spirits will be added to our regular restaurant rotation now!

    I came to celebrate a birthday and I must say Mia the bartender can make a mean hurricane martini. Kudos to Mia. I haven’t one that tastes that good since my last visit to NOLO. Rogelio was our server. The blackened salmon Cesar salad was delicious and perfect portion of serving. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean but door to the storage room in the women’s bathroom was open and if a guest is not paying attention, she could get serious hurt. I truly enjoyed the music while . The birthday girl enjoyed her birthday Pizookie. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check the knives, forks and plates. Each of us had to ask for clean silverware and plates. It’s sad that someone rolled the dirty silverware into cloth napkins.
