So good! First meal in Vegas after a long travel day and it hit the spot. The service was incredible, the food was unbelievable, and as a Canadian who doesn’t get to hit a patio too often in December, we loved the patio vibe!

Our server was so good at his job! He was very personable and he made us feel at home. When I was ordering food I was torn between 2 different dishes, he lead me in one direction but then brought me a complimentary side of the other dish, without asking, as a surprise to me. If comfort food is what you are after then visiting this place.
