I keep coming back to this place in the hopes that I'll have a good meal and am continuously underwhelmed. Blockheads is down the street...go there.
I was told the outdoor area on the south east side is for the cool kids.
Margaritas are too sweet and served out of plastic cups at the bar (tacky).
2 bachelorette parties and more hoochies than you can handle in a single night. Next margarita please!
Awful service. Very strict About seating outside. Probably better to not go with a huge group. We constantly got yelled at for being in the way, but there was nowhere else to stand
try one of their 18 frozen margaritas. They're strong - love the coconut. Have some free chips/salsa/almost guac and sit at the bar.
The blood orange margarita is amazing....and killer!

- Steak nachos, blue caraco margaritas and great bartenders!
S MPJuly 24, 2013The waiter was great, the food was good until an entire family of mice decided to come out for a stroll. Upon informing the manager, I was met very serious hostility. Disgusting!!!

"Awesome music (70s-90s) and a relaxed, non-douchey, not too loud setting. Lots of TVs for sports too!"

"How does the best burger in town with truffle fries sound? You’ll find it here, adjacent to the lobby of Affinia Shelburne. In summer, head up to Rare View for cocktails and incredible sunset vistas."
