Everything was amazing, the service, the food was delicious and the restaurant is fun and well decorated. My only suggestion is that the live music start a little later. The musician was very good, but the music was too loud, our reservation was at 6:15pm

Always good to come and visit this restaurant for a great quick food and drinks with a friend. Their Mexican sampler was really enjoyable and reasonable. I have had their Margarita here and it was just done perfectly to my taste. Their baby back ribs were fall off the bone. One of my favorite restaurants. Hillary was pleasant and attentive.
