    Me and my wife enjoyed our 17th anniversary here and the ambience was beautiful!!! Sitting over the Riverwalk looking down on the city was amazing. The drinks were also amazing. The food not so much. We got the brisket queso appetizer and the cheese was so thick and greasy it was unappetizing. We also tried the brisket tacos, which were mediocre at best, they came out medium warm but had great flavor just a little tough.

    Very slow service, dirty table and cup. Not impressed with the food. We waited over 20 minutes to even be greater by a server.

    Service was average . Nice people but need better training . Seating was an issue with the reservation . One bartender wasn’t great and didn’t know her bar . I had asked for something particular and she said we didn’t have it then other guy comes up and said of course we do .
