    Went on Taco Tuesday for the all you can eat tacos. The food was delicious. The server was mistaken on what exactly we ordered, so the initial plate came with rice and beans. Make sure to order the Taco Tuesday special, or they will charge you for the rice and beans. In any case, the margarita was good too, just a nice place for a mid-week dinner. Saw other menu items brought out to other tables and it all looked and smelled wonder.

    The service was good and the food was delicious. One downside is the advertisement of $23.95 BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS, which is false because there is a .35 cent charge for each refill. Please adjust the menu description from either Bottomless or refills are .35 cent.

    The ambience and view are great. Service was good. However, two frustrations. There were no age restrictions mentioned online or in person, and yet my friends with a three year old daughter were not allowed to stay. And there was a mixup with the credit cards where the wrong card was charged.
