Food was delicious as always. This time I tried the filet and grilled romaine salad. It was perfection and I’d definitely order it again! The others in our group enjoyed their choices as well. Service was fantastic!! I believe our server was Jordan (I’m awful with names) and she was simply excellent. Ambience is wonderful as well!

Our waiter was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. The food he recommended was excellent. Only concern is that it was all fried. But sauces were great. It was a Wednesday evening and it took a while to get our main course. Will go again.

What a great experience tonight! Our server Chase was phenomenal. The chips and fresh salsa were the best we’ve had in a very long time. Loved the jalapeño watermelon margarita and the enchiladas diverciades were superb. Definitely will be back!
