   Great server who was pleasant and very efficient. All apps were amazing- Dragon Sushi Roll, chicken dumplings, Bam Bam Shrimp (really loved the shrimp!) Everyone enjoyed their meals- the only comment would be that the buffalo chicken Mac & cheese is very hot! Fish tacos were delicious and very generous portion. Korean chicken sandwich and short ribs were very very good. Excellent singer/guitarist on Saturday night.

   A group of us who live in three different directions met there on a Friday night. The food was excellent, the menu had something for everyone, and the wine selection (I know, crazy to get wine at Cisco.) was very good, too. Our server was wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable and unflappable despite the hectic pace on a busy evening. We did expect it to be crowded and knew there would be live music, but assumed it would be outside. The music inside made everyone across the room speak louder, which made the performers turn up the volume, and the cycle kept repeating, so it would not be a great place to plan any kind of conversational meet-up over dinner. My thought as someone familiar with local gigging via friends is that an inside-a-restaurant gig, vs. a true bar, unfortunately, should be considered background music until 9 or 10 p.m. That all said, we will definitely be back!

   Staff was wonderful and accommodating when our party went from 2-5 people. Food was excellent. Drinks were great. Our service was wonderful. The only “ complaint “ I have is that our table could barely hear each other right in front of each other bc the covered patio was sooooo loud inside. Not sure if it’s normally like that? But we couldn’t hear each other speaking and had to yell 3 feet across the table to be heard. But this is a must visit place! We loved it!

   We love the energy at Cisco.....the outdoor portion is nice, right on the water. The food is always good. Aside from parking our only issue is with dogs. I get it....they are outside not indoors. But last year there were a couple of dogs that came close to a fight, and one owner allowed their dog to lift its leg on one of the barrels where people stand and drink and talk. Sorry but that's just gross. The day one of us steps in something will be our last visit and I don't want that to happen.....perhaps owners can keep better watch and control of their dogs.

    We had a wonderful experience. We had Matt as our server. He was fabulous! He was training Sam and both of them were so fun and personable. We had a great 3-course meal and some delicious Portuguese red wine. It was a special on Wednesday night. I had the boom boom shrimp and my friend got clam chowder. We both were very happy with the taste and portion. Then I got the chicken pad thai and my friend got the teriyaki chicken. We were shocked with how much we got. The portions were very generous. We got to take half home to save roomfor the dessert. So good! I got the brownie sundae and my friend got carrot cake. We also wanted to mention that the hostess was awesome. She helped us get a few gift certificates because we will def be back!
