    This place was a BIG venue, loved all the windows.. I expected the buzz to match the food. All of the food was "meh!" We ordered the aguillo (sp) shrimp - tasteless, the salmon over grilled veggies - cooked properly but nothing I couldn't do myself, and the brisket tacos - better off at a taco spot. The service was good, but the food should of matched it. Though we selected due to proximity to the SAP Center - I wonder if anyone who have previously rated this place actually cooks and what dining out should taste like. Sorry, but restaurant's should serve tasty dishes.

    Overall a great first experience! Had a party of 9 and for the most part, all the food came out at the same time.

    The server and restaurant staff were very welcoming for our conference group (even last minute). The food was delicious and the menu had something for everyone to enjoy! I loved the tacos--tomato soup-amazing rosemary biscuits. Our group highly recommends!!

    In my reservation I had requested being seated in the Main dining area but we were seated outside. This outside area was covered (on all sides, not just a roof) and had strong heaters going (late January). The benefit of being seated in this area was that it was much quieter than inside, and that was nice.

    This was my third time here, prior visits, all the food was delicious. This time wasn't as good. The brussel sprouts were in a strange mixture with blue cheese and an orange sauce with apples and onions, wouldn't order them again. The cauliflower and beans vegetarian dish was a good portion, but had too many onions. Interesting offering, but wouldn't order again. French fries were delicious. Service was excellent and the ambience as nice. The window was wide open with cold air coming in, and the server was right on it when I asked her if she could close it. It might have been an off night, but the dishes just weren't as good as prior visits.

    The food and service are always great! Been eating here for several years. Lots of options on the menu for different types of diets. Mock tails for non alcohol drinkers. All in all, a very fun place!

    Pork shoulder was small once all the fat was cut off the piece of meat; great sauce and flavor otherwise
