"We were friends meeting up after work and we wanted to catch up. The food was good, but this place was more of a sports bar and was the wrong choice for us."

"The Queso Fundido appetizer was delicious ~ I would go back just for this. The sandwiches & fries were good ~ nothing extraordinary. We had an awesome waitress & the service was attentive. They have several very nice bar areas. They played some great music while the sports stations were set on the televisions. For a restaurant with TV's & music, it was not loud at all. You could carry on conversation easily. Will go back for drinks & appetizers."

"This is a great place for lunch. Service was great - the mussels to die for. Owner Keegan greated us at our table and chatted for several minutes to make us familiar with the menu. I loved sitting near the window and people watching. I will go back "often", that's how much I liked it."

"Table was not ready when we arrived, had to wait 15 minutes after the reservation time. Order the skirt steak rare and it came out medium rare, which is fine since it is such a thin cut of meat. It was impossible to chew though, and since I was on a blind date I would have felt very awkward sending it back."
