I had my birthday dinner there on 1/7. We were in the upper area. It was 7 of us. Everything was great. The server was so attentive and worked with us from everything to the food, the ambience and the drinks. The appetizers were very good, food was good, margaritas were amazing. The lady that did the karaoke was so cool also. We had a great time and would definitely recommend and go again.
