I had a wonderful experience even though I was chaperoning 20 teenagers. We loved the fun drinks and stayed hydrated while consuming plenty of water with your deliciously spicy food. Everyone had a good meal. I would just add that the hostess made sure to seat us in a thoughtful manner, the main server was attentive and cordial, and the manager made sure everything we had ordered arrived. We will be back at this time next year!
