Excellent food, drinks, and service. We had their brisket quesadilla to start, which was very large and delicious. Whole fish was also excellent, but even after being filleted, had more bones than we expected. Drinks were on the pricey side. Daiquiris were delicious, so we had a bunch. At $20 each, that got expensive.

The table was ready early and they sat us as we arrived. What a great policy that others don’t do. Kudos to them. Service was provided by everyone- our waiter was always around and offering, at the same time, you could see all the waitstaff looking at the table to check on us. Food was great. And the live music - on a Tuesday- was a fantastic surprise. I’ll definitely be back.
