    Get the fish tacos! Best I've ever had. The fish is crispy and light. The peanuts, mint, sweet red cabbage and assorted Asian flavors make this a real winner!

    Good atmosphere, good service, underwhelming food and limited wine selection. Better than a Friday's and not even close to a Houston's. The bar is great and beer choices are very good.

    A good go-to when you can't decide where to go. Service is consistent and food is typical American fare. Not a bad place and not expensive either. Pretty accommodating to any special requests.

    Terrific beer selection, fun family vibe, and really impressive food. Go for their killer Sunday brunch.

    The spinach and artichoke dip is to die for! However the amount if chips they bring out with it us rather small.

    Well one of our guest in our party is allergic to mushrooms. The meal she got still had mushrooms in it. Also the asparagus were very "woody". Had heard good reviews about this place but not impressed

    The twelve layer dip was very tasty. They dont have buzzers though, so no one seems to know when their table is ready.

    They refused to seat our reserved party of 12 until at least 80% had arrived. We had late arrivals so ended up standing around the bar for a while. Food was okay. Wouldn't go again.

    Be weary of the 15min wait! They will say 15min but my family and I waited well over 1hr and ended up leaving. As people were coming in they were still saying 15min wait. That's bad business IMO

    Everything we have tired has been very tasty. Service is attentive but not pushy. They also offer "Curb Side to Go" which is a great option if you don't want to dine out.

    It was the worst they don't take the membrane off the ribs and I ordered them with dry well they don't even season them they were the worst

    Slow smoked salmon salad was good but order came out wrong, they corrected it but took some time.

    The steak had no flavor. The salad was not good. Drink prices are expensive. I would not go again.

    Do not go here. Management is awful. Food is terrible. Owner chip is a total dbag. No joke.
