We enjoyed delicious food and excellent service from Steele. Favorites are the Birria Layered enchiladas, street corn and all of their steaks are excellent.

South of Nicks is one of my favorite restaurants but last night was not such a good experience. We had to wait a very long time for our table, despite having a reservation. The server and lady delivering the chips and salsa were both unfriendly. Drinks were slow to come out. When we asked for more chips / salsa they were not nice. I was served a cheese enchilada instead of chicken. Another friend’s drink was bad. It was a disappointing experience overall.
