    I feel awful for not remembering our server’s name as he played a major role in making our night here a very memorable one. We had reservations for 2 but sat at a booth because we planned on ordering a few tapas. The vibe was just right, there was live music being sang by a guy with his guitar and his partner on the piano. For drinks we kept it simple with a few shots of tequila and some margaritas. For tapas we had: -Pot Roast. This dish was warm, savory and succulent. The beef was braised to perfection and the veggies were well cooked. -Peel n Eat Shrimp. The butter sauce has old bay seasoning in it which gave it a nice kick! The herb garlic bread was wonderfully toasted, not too hard and soaked up the butter sauce nicely. -Bacon Wrapped Dates. The sweetness from the dates paired well with the bacon. The blue cheese on the inside was well melted and added a creaminess to each bite. -Filet Mignon Slider. No comment, my husband swallowed the slider whole. He says it was a 10/10. I believed him because he liked his fingers to get up the bit of aioli left on it. -Lamb Chops. Perfectly grilled. Nice grill marks on the outside and juicy on the inside. -Chicken n Waffles. Cooked to order. The waffle was still warm when it got to our table. The chicken breast tenders had a nice crunchy well seasoned batter on them. -Pork Belly. Wish they fried it a bit more but you could taste the marinade on the meat. The glaze was also a nice touch. -BBQ Ribs. The ribs were definitely fall off the bone. Only thing I would recommend is to get a good broil on the bbq sauce so it’s not too messy . We will definitely be back & have already told our friends to check this place out.

    What’s not to love about this place? Great atmosphere and service and amazing food! We made last minute reservations last night and arrived with a large group of 9. Our server was so accommodating and helpful the entire time. He made everyone feel relaxed and cared for. The food was great- we love small plates- gives an opportunity to try more things. They bring everything out as it cooks so you always get fresh, hot plates. We loved the pot roast, meatballs, filet slider and cornbread. The kids in our group ordered Mac n cheese and made s’mores table side which was really fun for them! Overall it was a great experience- we will be back and recommend for anyone who wants a fun night out!!

    Loved the live music & ambiance. The food was good. I like the tapas small portions. Too many meat/seafood items. Not enough veggie choices. Need to improve the menu.

    First time coming and trying this place. I absolutely love the concept of America tapas so many great options to choose from some things seem a bit overpriced like getting four wings for $10 which I opted out of. however the food I did order was amazing and delicious. Very comfortable seating area with live music, and friendly staff. The food comes out very quickly. I ordered the ribs tapas and they did come out cold as if they were in the fridge and they had barbecue sauce on them let my waitress know and they brought out a new plate. That was hot and delicious.The alcoholic beverages are made very strong so that is a plus. I had an absolute amazing time.
