We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was pretty empty. Despite this, the restaurant did not seem staffed and equipped to handle our dinner service. The service was incredibly slow throughout the entire meal, and inadequate. Our mains were brought out at varying times (over ten minutes between the first main and the last main arriving) and our dirty appetizer plates stayed on the table the entire time and weren't cleared until we were done with our mains. Given the prices of the food, this service was not sufficient. The price is not justified in the experience you have.

Food was mediocre.. however our server Jeff made up for the mediocre food. He was very accommodating and pleasant, felt like we were well taken care of. Wouldn’t come back for the food necessarily, but the ambiance, especially in the evening was great! I’ll be back for drinks!

Really great dinner. Jeffery (server) was top notch. Almost concierge in his approach to the menu. The pork belly appetizer was a show stopper and the drink menu had a great ratio of value/reasonably priced.

Stopped in after work with a coworker! Really loved our experience! Service and ambiance was amazing, shout out to Cole! Try the bacon steak, you won’t regret it! I will be dreaming of the adobo sauce that was on it!

Food was excellent as was the service with Jeff. Started with the ranch salad which was perfect. Nice size and a bit different. Moved on to the short ribs and they were also perfect. No fat or grizzle. Churros for desert made the perfect ending to the meal. Not something you can get anywhere. A bit noisy due to the C&W dancing outside. But it was fun to watch.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Not a single waiter came to our table, took our order, or followed up. We had to proactively order from the bartender, who was the only personable employee at the restaurant. I would not recommend this to anyone. One star is extremely generous.

We booked the reservation to celebrate Father’s Day . We were able to sit outside , unfortunately no music . Ordered craft cocktails, I wanted the margarita but wanted to sub silver to anejo tequila which would have been $32.00 🤯. So settled for the mango . (Was incredible ) my hubby ordered the paper plane and was in heaven . The food was perfect . Little pricey but great taste for a special occasion.
