    It was a first date that I went on and the staff was so nice and helpful. They gave me great advice on cocktails and even recommended us places to go after they closed. I really recommend it also since the DJ played great music and it was a very romantic place

    I’m not sure if it was due to booking with open table but upon arrival we were immediately seated. Not only was it super quick but we got great seats! In the midst of Valentine’s Day rush we got to seat in a comfortable table while others were a bit crammed. I dine here regularly and it looked like they split tables up to allow for more couples to dine without wait. In absence of a holiday or special occasion all the seats are comfy and spacious 10/10 would recommend to others.

    This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

    We were early for reservations and grabbed seats and the bar for a couple of drinks while we waited. Our manhattans were excellent and our table was ready within 5 minutes of our reservation. We sat near the kitchen so there was some noise, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant is huge so there’s plenty of room to find something more intimate. The scallops were fabulous, and my husband enjoyed his grain bowl with salmon. We finished with the butter cake and practically inhaled it. 3 cocktails, two entrees and a side plus a dessert for less than $150? We will absolutely be back!

    The food was mostly excellent. I had the special and would go back again and again for the tenderloin in Molet sauce, mashed potatoes and veggies. Hoping they keep it on the menu! Scallops and the beef tip tacos were a hit with 2 in our group. Only thing that wasn’t as good was the chicken on a salad my brother ordered. He said the salad was delicious but the chicken had no flavor and it looked like it hadn’t been Mesquite grilled as worded in menu. So not sure what happened there. This restaurant is one of our favorites to bring our guests that come from all over US and will continue to be. We have had excellent meals many times over and love the atmosphere. Hostesses (thank you for the table we requested) are wonderful as well as all the wait staff. Would highly recommend!
