    Terrific , upscale Mexican themed food with Classic and modern cocktails. Grate quality and the staff could not do enough. But beware parking is a problem as the area is vibrant with shops and other restaurants.

    It was an unbelievably fantastic experience. Gina our waitress was great and the Rat Pack performance was incredible ! It’s where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. performed their first Rat Pack show before taking it to the Sands Hotel & Casino in Vegas. The OG location where it all began.

    Excellent burgers (including gluten free) and best Cubano in town! They even have great gluten free buns! Great service. Terrific fries. Price remains excellent. We ate outdoors so noise was not an issue. Gets noisy indoors.

    It’s always a delight at the Kings Highway. Staff is always really cool. The Amigo room is under construction, so we hope that 70’s retro feel doesn’t change. Also nice to sit and have a beer or cocktail by the pool

    If you're looking for a comforting mini getaway dining experience, The Cork kitchen is a must. Scenery overlooking beautiful stream and vineyards along with abundance of maple trees make the overall experience soothing and relaxing. The overall menu is delicately managed as it is subtle in variety. The ambiance is great, it's rather delicate noise levels make the dining experience comforting but loud enough to feel at ease. Make a visit and enjoy. Totally worth it.
