    The food was really delicious, and we really enjoyed our meal, other than a boisterously loud group in a nearby table of 10 or so. They were just having a good time trying to converse across opposite ends of the large set of combined tables, but it was a bit annoying. We could have asked to be reseated elsewhere, but with the open space design of the dining area it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. We ordered Queso and Chips for an appetizer, and happily got a "bonus" trio of Queso, guacamole, and salsa accidentally instead, which I didn't see on the menu. All three were superb with the house made chips, and we probably ate way more than we should have for just us two. My wife preferred the guacamole and queso, while I really like the house salsa, which had a mole chipotle flavor and the right amount of heat. My wife loved her Voodoo Tuna, which was nicely seasoned (blackened) and perfectly seared on the outside while still nicely rare on the inside. Likewise, my Gorgonzola New York Steak was prepared medium-rare as requested, with a perfect amount of Gorgonzola butter on top. The steak was fairly tender and flavored. It was also quite large, but I would have preferred a perhaps smaller but thicker cut. We both also really liked the accompanied pan roasted brussel sprouts and carrots that were scrumptious and not overcooked. Although we were extremely full, we couldn't resist trying their desserts. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake was recommended by our server, and it was sublimely good and not too heavy. The Anchor Fudge Pie was decadently delicious as well.

    Was very busy at the bar so the noise level was pretty high. The food was good & the service was a little slow due to all the action at the bar. The manager stopped by to see how everything was and it was OK. Had a really wobbly table which was kind of irritating at times. There had been some menu changes since we were last there which made food selection a little harder since we went back for some items that were no longer on the menu. The food we had was very good however.

    3 of the 4 dishes were exceptional I ordered the Voodoo Tuna but was very disappointed Tuna was over cooked and sauce was almost dried Service was extremely slow Sat for more then 10 minutes before anyone looked our way We have always experienced fantastic service and food so I knew it was extremely odd for this location Staff was extremely short handed Will definitely be back as your Tuna appetizer is absolutely delicious Overall experience I would give a 4 out of 5 as I know you usually do much better

    The only negative is the doors open to back patio make it cold inside and the noise level is pretty high for conversation. Food and service and drink are great. Love the complimentary cornbread!
