    The food was soooo good! Loved the Leek & Egg plant, Shrimp cocktail, and french onion fondue. Steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The sides of fries, Cauliflower, whipped potatoes, and mushrooms were to die for! Needless to say we didn’t make it to dessert, but the service was impeccable and overall it was sooo great!

    Shoutout to our waitress, Maria! She was such a sweetheart and made the experience at Bandit welcoming and fun. I ordered the Shady Lady and my sister got the Gold Digger, two really good and well made drinks. We shared the steak tacos and those were great too! We will definitely be back.

    I wanted to check this place out for my friend’s birthday. The food was great and so were the drinks. Our server Payton/Peyton was extremely helpful and accommodating. She took us to the Whisky bar downstairs after as we enjoyed some drinks. She told us about the club at the top floor and we went for a moment. It was nice but a bit loud (figures it’s a club). The ambiance was great and the staff was so helpful and friendly from the host handing us sake shots at the door to the Whisky Bar bartender taking our photos. 10/10
