    Our server was great. The food was great. Drinks are expensive. I know this has become the norm, but it's getting out of control.

    Very lively in the restaurant. The music was great. The best part of the night was the FOOD. It was amazing. The snapper was seasoned well. The rice was on point and the empanadas were chefs kiss. We will be back without a doubt.

    Meximodo has a very fun vibe. The tequila wall is amazing... winning the guiness book of records for agave offerings. The food is very good. The shrimp ceviche and queso fundido are delicious appetizers. The spicy margaritas were the perfect cocktail for the meal. The prices skew a bit high, but not super crazy. As the reservation times got later, the restaurant got more of a club vibe and clientele. Overall, it was a good experience for us as the 60+ group looking for a good meal. And it certainly is a good spot for the 25+ looking for a fun night out.

    I am a regular at Steakhousebecause their food is prepared by order so your food is always the right temperature and fresh. My husband and I had the pork chop, sweet potato casserole, asparagus and the lobster risotto on date night Friday.

    Came here for a celebratory dinner with my spouse. We shared Clams Casino as an appetizer, and he had sea bass as an entree while I had the grouper. He enjoyed Birdsmouth lager, and I had a cocktail and glass of wine, then we each had dessert (peanut butter brownie and salted chocolate chip cookie). I also had an after dinner drink--the Jolly Roger. Everything was top-notch--the service was efficient but not rushed, the food was hot and delicious, our table was comfortable and we could converse easily but still felt the happy vibe of other diners around us, and the surroundings were elegant. Price point was high-end but not unreasonable--entrees $40-45, drinks around $14 each, extras $10-15 each. Parking was convenient at the Church Street garage across the street (though not included). Would absolutely come here again for a special occasion.
