Outback steaks at Morton's prices in a dark, gloomy setting. My ribeye was passable, but with pieces of gristle and bone chips, it was certainly not worth $48. The accompanying potato dish was tasty, but they provided only about 3 tablespoons of it— more like a garnish than a side. As with most Mexican restaurants, they start you out with complimentary chips and salsa. Inexplicably, the salsa lacked flavor— tasted like mulched eggplant. And watch out— if you ask for more chips, they charge you without first advising. Service was earnest, but disconnected— three different people served me, none of whom had good command of English or fully understood what I wanted. Ambience was dark— everything is painted black. Black can be dramatic if well-executed, but this was just— dark. Certainly not a great experience overall, and I would neither return nor recommend this restaurant.

The main course was late, but they made up for it in a free side dish and exam booze. The food is very good, a bit pricey, but will be back.

Love the dark intimate vibe. Seating was comfortable. Staff and service were very nice. My wife had the ceasar salad with chicken, and I had the enchiladas mole with steak. Both very good. Had the Dolums Cab from California, which was nice as well. All and all, a very nice experience. Will definitely return.

Second time here something changed since August of this year and now Steak was not as juicy either the quality of meat changed or the chef changed. Drinks great appetizers excellent but for the money they need to figure out what they were doing right as far as the steaks go back in August 2024

Amazing food, service and look of the place. Music was perfect once it was changed to Sinatra. I love Christmas music but it’s a bit early for it. Overall experience 10/10.
