Really great place for a special night out with friends or business associates. Excellent good with just the right amount of spices. Nice seating areas outdoors as well. For me the prices are very high, but I may just be showing my age. See attached menu with prices. My favorite was the shrimp appetizer. The Cornish Hen was very tasty with zesty smoked taste. Quail was outstanding with just the right amount of kick, reminding me of some really good Cajun foods that I have eaten. Pizza was reported as exceptional by my friend. Must have been, he left very little. Steak was reported by another as also very good. Terrific atmosphere.

Brisket empanadas are delicious as well as the pecan smoked cornish hen. Shrimp carbonara was excellent.

We both absolutely loved our drinks appetizers and meal here. 😋 I'm keto so they went out of their way to make my frog legs without breading. Everything was delicious 😋 and done perfectly. We will be back. Thank you so much

My husband and I have been to this restaurant several times before. we had always enjoyed the food and atmosphere and saved this place for date nights. Sadly, the experience seems to dwindle a little each time we go now. The appetizers are this restaurant's saving grace. I had the chicken fried ribeye, which was good, but nothing special. It came with mashed potatoes, which were flavorful. But then it had a side of refrigerator cold green beans. The server was a young and somewhat inexperienced waiter. His greeting was a little unprofessional, and he always seemed like he needed to do other things instead of attend us. Therefore, sadly, I don't think we'll be going back for quite some time.

Food and service was amazing! First time visiting for our anniversary dinner and we were amazed with the place . Chipotle chicken pasta is amazing . The wine was very good , I’ve never drank wine before and I loved it . Our waiter was very well mannered and just detail to mannerisms added to the experience in this restaurant. All though very packed , he did an amazing job attending us.

1st time going here today. My husband and I always try to find new places to go to when we don't have our kids, but we will definitely be taking our kids back with us next time we go. Food was excellent, our server was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting.
