    I came to celebrate a birthday and I must say Mia the bartender can make a mean hurricane martini. Kudos to Mia. I haven’t one that tastes that good since my last visit to NOLO. Rogelio was our server. The blackened salmon Cesar salad was delicious and perfect portion of serving. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean but door to the storage room in the women’s bathroom was open and if a guest is not paying attention, she could get serious hurt. I truly enjoyed the music while . The birthday girl enjoyed her birthday Pizookie. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check the knives, forks and plates. Each of us had to ask for clean silverware and plates. It’s sad that someone rolled the dirty silverware into cloth napkins.
