    Great night out. Beef dip was a little mushy and I would have liked a salad or vegetables with the Fish Tacos and not the chips. Those suggestions would take my review from a 4 to a 5.

    I hosted a small family gathering and enjoyed the ambiance and the great food. The service was excellent. The daily specials were tasty and reasonably priced.. The acoustics were good and we could actually have a conversation. I’ll certainly return
