While we had a little delay for our entrees, the staff made up for it with complimentary desserts for the birthday girl. I would highly recommend making a reservation, as it gets pretty busy, especially on weekends. Overall, this place is a treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, we came in late on a Friday night, and although it was crowded, we felt well attended. The margaritas and the chips were a lovely start to our dinner. For my entrée, the chicken fajitas were sizzling and full of flavor—I can confidently say this is some of the best I've had in a long time. My friends and I left very happy! Thumbs up for the food and service! " (*Curated Review*)
