    Coyote Cafe’s staff truly knows how to serve customers. We were greeted warmly, shown our table, and, because we indicated it was our anniversary, were bright two glasses of champagne and addressed by name by our waiter, Parris. He truly knows how to provide table service! He made excellent recommendations and made sure our experience was top notch. The food, atmosphere, and service were all perfect!

    We stopped by to have drinks and nibbles. I had not been there in some years - “the bucking bull” was still there at that time. What a delightful change. We sat at the bar in extremely comfortable stools, and enjoyed our drinks and nibbles, shrimp, ceviche, and fries. The bartenders, the hostess and wait staff were attentive and friendly. We will be back for dinner very soon. Thank you Chef Johnny Vee for your excellent restaurant review in The Reporter.

    The food was superb and innovative. We will be back. My only concern is that I ordered a glass of raising, and was served a dry white wine--but I knew enough to tell the difference and another glass was brought to me. Not a problem.
