    The hostess crew that was there were great as they allowed Us to be seated even though we had reservations for the wrong day. It was completely My fault but they were gracious to allow our big table of 8 on a busy longhorn baseball game Friday. Will come back my only negative was the fajitas plates for 2 we on the small side and mostly veggies with little meat. The drinks more than made up for the food this trip. Still a great place to sit outside and enjoy the weather!

    The food was ok and the patio would have been cuter if the service was better! Our waitress was not attentive and when we said we needed to split the check up, she was rude about it telling us what would be easier for her time. We will explore other places next time we’re in the area.
