    Great experience! My wife and I went here for Valentine’s Day. Food was great, price was very reasonable and the staff was helpful and accommodating after I confused our reservation time. Chips and salsa were notably good as well. First time here and we’ll definitely be returning.

    My wife and I love this place, and the food is always solid when we go there. The price is not cheap by any means for the food, but I believe the value is there. Our server last night was exceptional, Curtis went above and beyond with every request and adjustment we needed. The one critique I would suggest, when using open table to book the restaurant requires a $15 per person no show fee, they should in turn give you a $15 credit for not having your table ready when you arrive. We booked for 8 pm last night and had to wait 20 mins to be seated, when first approaching the reservation desk we were ask had we checked in??? there is no QR code or sign for check in??? The hostess (Both) very rude and seemed over whelmed with doing there job! Usually a simple we will get you seated as soon as we can, and thank you for your patience goes a long way!! Instead we got rude and no communication

    Had a delicious Native Salad (changed Salman to chicken breast)! My friend had a salad and toasted cheese sandwich & loved it. We were there for her birthday lunch and server was kind enough to bring 2 scoops of ice cream *would've been better if they were served in individual bowl instead of common bowl! Lovely restaurant, good server (Jade). Will definitely come again.

    We have been pretty regular customers for many years. The service is the #1 area for improvement. It seems that the last 2 times we dined on a Friday night, the servers took orders, dropped drinks and food, and only came back to leave the bill. We ordered two ginger beers and had to educate the server that these are non-alcoholic and that you have this, as she was unsure what it was. No worries. We had food on the table before a drink, including ice water. We had to ask for water on our last two visits. Our server never checked back on refills or how our food was until we finished our meal. We were forced to ask our food runner for a refill of salsa, or we would have to wait until we were done with our meal. You guys have a great restaurant, a solid menu, and a great location, but the service needs to be improved.
