We sat in a curved booth across from the bar and after telling our waitress we were headed to a concert, we were double teamed with she and the bartender. Can't say enough about the stellar service. And the food? Equally matched! The homemade warm 6" circle tortilla chips were some of the best I've had along with the fire roasted salsa and nice portion of guacamole. The Caesar salad with corn based croutons and a lemon Caesar salad dressing was the best Caesar salad I've ever had. My friend loved her perfectly seared Ahi tuna and me my fried avocado street tacos. And oh my- the cocktails were fabulous! We both enjoyed spicy margaritas (hers was pineapple) made with their homemade habanero cocktail mix. Will definitely return!
