    we had a great night with three and five dollar margaritas celebrating national margarita day. They're also is a great special for 19.99. You get a beverage and appetizer and an entrée. The food was delicious.

    we really enjoyed our lunch. The shrimp tostada bites are just incredible. The tacos were delicious. We sat outside near the water area and it was so pretty. The waitress was attentive and friendly, and I am looking forward to going back again.

    Showed up a few minutes early for a 7:30 reservation on Valentines Day. Waited 15 mins at the hostess stand without being seated or even recognized. When I went across the restaurant to speak with the one person who had been at the front of the house, he shrugged and said they were overbooked and it would be 30-40 mins before we should expect to be seated. No apology or contrition. As we were leaving, woman walked by and said they had been seated for over an hour without anyone even coming to the table. We left and walked across the street. This place is way over their skis and couldn't care less.

    The lobby was packed with folks looking to get seated. There was NO ONE at the host station to seat people or explain what the holdup was. Tables were not getting bussed and servers were over-whelmed.

    This was literally the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. There’s a reason Z Tejas closed most of their restaurants.

    Just very slow on Valentine's Day. This is understandable as it is a busy day, but it is still a long wait time to be seated and receive food.

    We love this restaurant and on Valentine's Day apparently Open Table accepted reservations for 300 tables instead of 100 tables. The restaurant only has 100. So we waited an hour and had to leave. I felt bad for the staff, the chefs, and the patrons. Not sure how this can happen but the manager was trying to reach restaurant headquarters and Open Table to solve the problem. A glitch in the system but too bad it happened on Valentine's.
