Had a reservation for 7 and didn’t realize there was an event downtown and parking was a mess. Was a little late but there was room at the bar while they got a table ready. Was trying to decide between two drinks and the bartender Geo recommended the old fashioned. I live a good old fashioned and I make a pretty good one myself but I agreed with the recommendation. Sometimes you haven’t leave it to the professionals and it was even better than mine. Had a medium rare fillet mignon cooked and seasoned to perfection and then mashed potato’s. That’s why I come here. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been here a few times, and have always felt it was alright, nothing great. This time I was pleasantly surprised. The chips and 3 salsas were good, and everyone got the carne asada. This is a grilled rib eye delivered in a mesquite smoke dome. It was really good! I will definitely be coming back!
