    First time coming to this restaurant, can honestly say I was very happy, staff were super friendly, very attentive, the drink selection was amazing, if it was a weekend I would have explored that portion even more. The speed of service, quality of food and price for two of us to dine were all exceptional. Highly recommend this place for quality and ambience.

    Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of us on Valentines Day! The food was quick and still delicious. The manager (I didn’t catch her name) was fantastic as well. The team was in such good spirits and the vibes were great.

    Great food and a friendly server. Got busy later on and service slowed a bit, but no fault of the sever’s. Great music playlist with a ton of 90’s vibes!

    We were initially forgotten at the table, and no one took our order. Then the waitress apologized and explained the mistake with the white sauce bottle indicating we had already ordered. To make up for it, they gave us two free shots and covered our bill. Great problem management! I’ll visit again. Loved their chips, shrimp taco, and Peach Paloma!
