What a great experience. First, the service was outstanding. Our server - Dave - made sure we had everything and all our needs were met throughout our whole meal. Great job! The food was excellent as well. We had four different meals and everyone raved about their meals. It’s always nice when a place exceeds your expectations and Cabo Wabo really did it for us!

I am a local from Boulder City and had not eaten at your restaurant. Our waiter recommended some of his favorites and everything we chose was very nice. Waiter was very attentive and we did not have to wait long for our entree. A good choice on our part and I would dine there again. My only suggestion is maybe to open a little earlier. Thank you
