    I did not play any games. It did look like a fun environment. But the food I’m sorry to report was not great. The brussels sprouts were very overcooked. And my Carnitas were plain. The service was excellent.

    First time guests and will definitely be returning. We had an awesome experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Food and drink came a little slowly but otherwise we had a great time and our server was great. She was very sweet and personable and made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic. I finished my plate and that never happens for me! The drinks were also great. The value for your buck is definitely worth it.
