a change in the menu got the cooks confused and my side dishes didnt come out. But once I mentioned it to waitress I got my side order. Then the manager came over to apologize and took the price of the meal off and gave me a free dessert. This is going above and beyond. I just wanted my rice and beans. All the food was delicious.

We were able to get a last minute reservation for Valentine’s Day. As expected they were extremely busy however our server was wonderful and very engaging. The food was well prepared (the muscles were amazing) and came out in a timely manner.
