Food was excellent and our server was second to none. The only damper was a male bartender who consistently treated us with the friendliness of a prison guard. He could hardly be bothered to speak to us or serve us our drinks. As a first impression, he really brought down the overall experience because we were excited to celebrate a special weekend with our family. Would have given 5 stars otherwise! Thank you to our server who made the night wonderful after that. She was excellent.

This was an exceptional dining experience. My wife had the grilled chicken, and I had the grilled pork chops. The food was amazing, and the service was even better. The managers checked on us three times to make sure we were receiving the best possible service and dining experience. We also visited another restaurant in the same chain and experienced that same level of hospitality. My wife is very particular about the flavor and temperature of her food, so they truly passed the test. Nothing had to be sent back, and she enjoyed every bite—which is rare enough that I’ve started keeping track! Great job—you exceeded our expectations.

    Started Off shaky when they gave my reservation for 9 away and we had to wait an additional 30 minutes with small children. BUT the Manager on duty handled the situation deftly and made up for the inconvenience. So we all left happy! The food was excellent ( best Fajitas in town)! Will definitely be back.
