    The food is outstanding. I called the manager over to tell him that the wedge salad was the best I'd ever had. I will be going back just for this! It was nice that he had checked in on us earlier in the meal. Our server was excellent too (Heather). We started with the Hamachi Crudo which was very good. We kept seeing amazing sides come out and we were having a tough time deciding so we ordered a few of those as well. The King Ranch Casserole was perfect and the loaded baked potato is topped with chorizo. We never even made it to the entrees but we will be back! The only feedback I'd give is that the music was strange. I love some 80's hard rock but Van Halen and Great White didn't seem to go with the decor. Jazz or Chill music would work so much better.

    Perfect relaxing night to sit outside. Huge outside dinning area, so pretty. Service and our Servicer Cody was excellent. The Jerk Chicken Salad was great. Drinks were great also. Highly recommended. Try the outdoor seating...you will love it.
