    All of the meals and the service were great. They have an incredible bourbon list also. I had the tenderloin which was so tender and flavorful. My wife enjoyed the chicken and my daughter the red fish. Our server was awesome, very attentive!

    Duck enchiladas appetizer never disappoints! Such good flavors and so original. For dinner we did the short rib pasta, which is listed as a small plate but completely fills you up. My husband and I crave the bowl of deliciousness and it was excellent as always!
