We enjoyed celebrating two birthdays this evening and the service, food were fantastic. We had a reservation and we were seated right on time! I definitely would return to try more dishes. The ribeye was delicious along with steak tacos, and steak kabob. Drinks and beer were great too. Service was well-timed and very friendly.
