    Delicious. Attentive wait person but the kitchen was very slow. We went at a slow time after 1:30 p.m. and very few diners at the time and took well over 30 minutes after ordering to get our meals.

    Although our table wasn't ready at our reservation time, we decided to eat outside by the fire pit. It was so nice! The food was good, the service was good and we had a wonderful time. We'll be back!

    Overpriced Mexican food and cocktails- everything was mediocre at best. Not the best service for the price point.

    By far one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The waitress was in way over her head. Took 15 minutes before she even got to our table to order drinks. After drink order was in chips finally arrived but drinks came literally 30 minutes later. When she did show up for food order, she messed that up too. Food came out probably after another 30 minutes. Then she disappeared entirely and never saw her again. Had to flag down another waiter to close out and get check. As a matter of fact, all the people in our section waited hours as well. This was a complete disaster. Did not even get any kind of comp on the check for being there almost 2.5 hours with barely food and no service.

    Great service and good! We started with Happy Hour in the bar. The watermelon margarita and the jalapeño margarita were awesome! Then we sat (10 people) so no small group… Austin was our server and was so fun and super on top of everything. The fajitas were so good. The calamari was also good but very different than typical (one large piece rather than small ones). The ambience was very cool! We would definitely return!
