   THE GARAGE PARKING WAS VERY EASY TO ACCESS WE HAD A LOVELY TIME EATING, CHATTING AND CELEBRATING OUR FRIEND'S 60TH BIRTHDAY. OUR WAITRESS RAMSEY AND CHEF EDGAR (??) WERE BOTH VERY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO. BOTH HAD GREAT DRINK AND FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR US TO EXPLORE. FOR SURE WE WILL BE REFERRING YOUR RESTAURANT TO OTHER FRIENDS OF OURS!!! THEY VALIDATED OUR PARKING TICKET

   The prices have gone up but the food quality has not improved. It’s an ok meal but it’s getting to the point that it’s not worth the price.

   Overpriced food with no real showmanship. No big fire displays or effort from the chef. I’ve seen and been to better. I tried this location, 3rd in Texas, and it’s the same at all locations. Sadly, I will not go back to any.

   My friends and I came here for a bday celebration. The concept and ambiance was fun but the food was not as flavorful as I had hoped for and our server seemed overwhelmed with customers and took awhile. The restrooms were a bit rundown and needed tending to as well. Not worth the price in my opinion.
