    I wasn’t able to leave the food blank, but we didn’t even stay to try the food, ignore rating. We came for happy hour, and what were used to is that you could enjoy happy hour anywhere you want, but we showed up and weren’t told anything so we were seated normally. Waited 15mins for someone to come to the table - to which we asked about happy hour (because there was no special menu on the table) and then we were told it’s only in a specific spot of the restaurant and we had to seat ourselves. We moved to that section and waited another 10 mins for someone to come up to us. No one seemed to want us there, we decided we would have one drink and then leave. The drinks were not good. Their happy hour menu was definitely great deals, we wish the place lived up to the hype but it was a flop. Went down to el Camino instead.

    Birthday dinner with the family. Several staff stopped by the table to wish my son a happy birthday. the presentation for the Tomahawk steak was superb, as was the taste and flavor! The cocktail menu was diverse and the non-drinkers at my table loved the spritzer mocktails.

    Food was average with above average prices. The service was below average for above average expectation. The reason for the food rating is due to sending an item back and was giving the same item back just worst quality. Then the service was slow and unforgettable. They should go to Capital Grille to see what service should look like. All together just an average experience.

    What a great place!!! The service was excellent. The restaurant was very busy and we still got our order quickly. Our server was super friendly and professional. The food was top notch. I was with a group of four and everyone loved what they ordered. The Kale Caesar was perfect and the Angry Fried Shrimp with Guacamole was a must-have!!
