    Our first time here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They are sticklers with your reservation time…no sooner, no later. The ambiance was like that of a movie set. They had a birthday card waiting on our table for my wife. The heaters were a nice balance to the outside air. Our waiter Solomon was charismatic, knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Very impressed with the quality of food…bruschetta, short braised ribs and complimentary dessert for my wife’s birthday. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for a delightful experience!!!

    Amazing experience and food! I loved the friendly and prompt service, lighting and atmosphere, the burnt ends brisket was so good and coleslaw perfect. I appreciate the gf options and the “tallow” fries. As well as upgrades to make the food taste great and be great quality! We arrived at 5:45 so definitely a more calm experience and loved the corner seats. I look forward to my next visit and trying more items.

    Had a reservation for inside but opted to sit outside instead and were able to be seated sooner. Great cocktail list and interesting variety of dinner options on the menu. Our food took a while to come out but we were kept informed by the manager and our server, which we appreciated. Manager discounted our bill which we didn’t request but definitely appreciated. Great spot with a vibrant crowd, would definitely go back!

    Second time here for us. The fajita salad with shrimp and the chicken chimichanga were excellent. Our server was terrific. Although it was a chilly night, we sat outside in their nice courtyard setting with heaters above us.
