Vibe BBQ is an inviting and casual, all-day celebration of American comfort classics, putting house-smoked meats at the center of the plate. "I've been in this country for over 30 years, and BBQ has been one of the cuisines that I have loved most. It's a food that is known as classic American, but it's also about the culture, the taste, the feel, and the vibe for me. Eating with hands, eating outside, eating in someone's backyard with family and friends. I'm drawn to the vibe of BBQ, which is where the name comes from. BBQ culture lives here like nowhere else."

Our visit to Altair was truly exceptional. The staff was remarkably kind and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The drinks were exquisite—each one was a delightful experience. We did encounter a minor issue with our salad being slightly overdressed, but the manager addressed it promptly and provided us with a new one that was outstanding. It is commendable to witness such attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. We look forward to returning for another wonderful experience. I highly recommend Altair!

Wonderfully creative food, mixing Sweden and Ethopia (Swediopia) and other influences. Beautifully prepared fish. Everything was delicious. The black mermaids and mermen decorating the spacious room add to the exotic atmosphere. Service was a little irregular (on a not overly crowded evening) but friendly. Really worth a visit.

Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.
