We stopped in for a quick drink and bite prior to a show at BJCC. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. We had never been there before so we needed info on different dishes, drinks etc. 10/10 would recommend! The steak was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The drinks were also very tasty.

The food and drinks are amazing and the service is perfect no complaints at all highly recommend coming here even the price is reasonable for where it's located and the quality of drinks and food.

First thing we saw when we went in was a sign saying hospitality starts at the hostess desk. If that's the case, this place failed. Had to look around to find someone who worked there. It was not busy at all, yet took a while to clean a specific table to put the three of us. Our server was great. No issues with him. It was hot in there. Holy crap turn on the AC. Even the waiter said he wouldn't blame us if we went somewhere else. Now the price. Holy cow this place is expensive. $30 for 4 tacos? $20 for 3 tacos? $18 for a chicken sandwich. We got chips, street corn, three meals and I had a beer for $110. I had the charred tacos. It comes with three. None of the steak was charred. They were pretty good but could have been better. They were dripping with a watery juice. This made them soggy and fell apart in my hands. It had the potential to be really good but missed the mark.

Everything with the service started out great with Madelyn until it came time to pay my check and it is printed on the check there’s an option to pay cash rather than pay by card without paying the merchant fees. I opted to pay cash and I gave my server the exact coins along with a larger bill as to get cash back. What she did not do is say, they do not accept coins!!! When she brought my change back, she brought the coins back but I questioned her about it she got very defensive about and went to say that it was not her problem. I explained to her, the restaurant doesn’t have this policy posted on the door nor do they have it posted on the check for you to pay. That small exchange soured my total experience and I’m not sure I will visit this establishment again!!!

Food was good- some may say a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I dont necessarily like the salt on the side of my glass instead of around the rim of my margarita (personal preference). Other than that all was well. We did ask to be moved to a booth instead of the small table in the corner. Not sure why the hostess chose to put us there. But overall, no complaints. The manager on duty was very accommodating when we asked to move. I have visited here often and normally we have no issues at all
