    Food was great, and service was second to none. Surprised us with a dessert for our anniversary. From start to finish, a great experience.

    The food was very good, but their margaritas not so much. My daughter ordered a regular margarita and it was very bland, I tried it and it wasn't very good. It's very dark inside so make sure you bring your phone to light up the menu.
