Everyone greeted us warmly and directed us to the table. We sat in a private space large enough for our group and were introduced to our server immediately. The menu was clear and the choices all seemed exciting. We ordered drinks and chose the Pre Fixe option. The $60 set price was a good deal and all of the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the space, the food, and the service. I definitely recommend it.

Went on Taco Tuesday for the all you can eat tacos. The food was delicious. The server was mistaken on what exactly we ordered, so the initial plate came with rice and beans. Make sure to order the Taco Tuesday special, or they will charge you for the rice and beans. In any case, the margarita was good too, just a nice place for a mid-week dinner. Saw other menu items brought out to other tables and it all looked and smelled wonder.
