   We went for Sunday lunch and decided to have the bottomless champagne for mimosas. We had to ask for the champagne twice and the food actually arrived before it did. Then we had to ask for a second bottle after we had actually finished eating. The service was really very slow and inattentive. We were on the outdoor patio and an actual fight broke out between two patrons, throwing ketch bottles which burst on impact, and a patio heater was knocked onto us - thankfully not on at the time. The fight was not caused by the restaurant, although it apparently had started inside in the bathrooms where the doors do not properly lock. But it was not contained by staff and nobody checked to see if we were OK after we caught the falling patio heater. It felt like we were at some rundown college tavern.

   This is a great casual place that will satisfy everyone. The menu ranges from salads, to burgers, to sandwiches and entrees. The fun and usually cute staff are very entertaining. This gay restaurant easily crosses over for anyone to enjoy. Sit on the front or back patio for outdoors...plenty of heaters for winter dining. Drinks are great!

   The Mexican Chicken Chef Salad served in a tortilla was delicious but, even though I specified "wrapped tightly" it was served so loosely wrapped that contents fell out while eating

   Just ok…..not sure what the hype is about For example: best Bloody Mary in the valley. Maybe for the garnish, but the actual drink was watery and not very spicy

   Great food and drinks. Lovely view. Very busy and our wonderful server was clearly over working. Maybe need more staff on busy days. Otherwise not our first or last time there!
