Fantastic dinner. David Shannon rocks. Every morsel was over-the-top delicious and Kendel, our server, couldn't have been more polished, personable, and professional. The Vegan Orgy on Texas Beach was a complete flavor banger as promised, I would sell my soul for another bite of the Swank Bank — the whole thing is obscenely delicious, and the halibut was, of course, to die for. Thank you for a special birthday dinner.

The best restaurant we have visited in months! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. When my husband and I asked questions about the menu, the waitress was very detailed when she explained the specific dishes we had asked about. Was the best experience and food was amazing! Cannot wait to go back !

Pizza is good and a good value! Cool place with plenty of space for kids and dogs without interrupting others’ enjoyment! Caesar salad is outstanding. Parking is a bit tight but plentiful. Kids loved the open field atmosphere.
