We were very impressed with our waiter. Jose did a great job. Recommendations were spot on. Patio was nice. Music was loud. Hard to carry a conversation. Upstairs bar and their speakeasy is a definite must. Very relaxed vibe. We will definitely return.

Our waitress could not have been nicer and more accommodating to our large family of 13. The food was our favorite meal of our week long trip to Port A. She treated the kids like she was glad they were there. We will visit again when we are in south Texas. And we will be back! Thank you for making us feel welcome! Everyone working there was kind and friendly.
