    The food was really delicious, and we really enjoyed our meal, other than a boisterously loud group in a nearby table of 10 or so. They were just having a good time trying to converse across opposite ends of the large set of combined tables, but it was a bit annoying. We could have asked to be reseated elsewhere, but with the open space design of the dining area it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. We ordered Queso and Chips for an appetizer, and happily got a "bonus" trio of Queso, guacamole, and salsa accidentally instead, which I didn't see on the menu. All three were superb with the house made chips, and we probably ate way more than we should have for just us two. My wife preferred the guacamole and queso, while I really like the house salsa, which had a mole chipotle flavor and the right amount of heat. My wife loved her Voodoo Tuna, which was nicely seasoned (blackened) and perfectly seared on the outside while still nicely rare on the inside. Likewise, my Gorgonzola New York Steak was prepared medium-rare as requested, with a perfect amount of Gorgonzola butter on top. The steak was fairly tender and flavored. It was also quite large, but I would have preferred a perhaps smaller but thicker cut. We both also really liked the accompanied pan roasted brussel sprouts and carrots that were scrumptious and not overcooked. Although we were extremely full, we couldn't resist trying their desserts. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake was recommended by our server, and it was sublimely good and not too heavy. The Anchor Fudge Pie was decadently delicious as well.

    Good food and service. Had the daily special so the prices were very reasonable, plus the drinks were great. Live entertainment added to the ambiance. Will go back again.

    Our server was excellent and very attentive and helpful. Starting with the chips, salsa and guacamole were all wonderful!!Everyone was happy with their meals also. My only complaint, which is minor there was a bit of crunch or uncooked rice in my serving. We were inside in a small back room that got pretty warm. There was no ceiling fan to help cool it down. Upon going to the rest room I found the front of the restaurant very comfortable. Love sitting outside but it was too hot.
