We had Easter brunch at Mojave, and the food was excellent! Our server was friendly, and she did the best she could while being very busy. We had a reservation but still had to wait to be seated. Then when we were seated, we only got 3 brunch menus and 2 regular menus between the five of us, which was a little strange since we had to share them. We also had no napkins or silverware and had to ask our server for them after we got our apps. The green salsa was good but could have had more spice (supposed to be hotter than the red per the server). The guacamole was a good chunky consistency but didn’t have much interesting flavor. The entrees, however, were great! We had the Cuban sandwich, breakfast burrito, huevos Benedict, and the Mojave frittata with chorizo. Everyone thought the flavors were rich and interesting. Even the fries had a chipotle seasoning on them. The huevos Benedict were on corn pancakes with Serrano ham and were a great twist on a classic dish. Service was a little slow, but the restaurant was very busy, and we were happy to have a nice long brunch. Overall a good experience, and I would come back again - hopefully to sit outside next time (outside was full when we arrived). Oh,and the valets were super nice!!

Extremely nice restaurant. Food choices excellent, on the pricey side. If I owned the place I would consider re painting the table tops as they were incorrectly painted with an absorbent paint that is permanently sticky. Not a deal breaker.

We have been here several times, but not in the last 2 years. Something has definitely changed - for the worse! Arrived with a reservation and still had to wait for 20 minutes with several empty tables available. The service was horrible! Took 35 minutes to get guacamole delivered to the table, and still had no silverware or drink order taken. Ordered another appetizer and it came 30 minutes later with our meals. We asked 4 times for extra tortillas and they arrived so late our food was cold! There was tons of servers - but ours rarely came to our table. The restaurant was half full on Easter Sunday. There were tables full of empty dirty dishes everywhere, and the restaurant was very chaotic and loud and disorganized feeling. Other tables got their food long before we did. It seemed very odd and have never experienced anything like this anywhere. The food was good, but the experience ruined our Easter meal out with family. We were even celebrating a birthday and listed it on open table including in the comments. The birthday was never once mentioned by our server. We will definitely not be back any time soon! Management and service is very much lacking, perhaps needing a complete overhaul and retraining. We felt very unwelcome and on a family holiday...

The outside deck was booked solid when we arrived, the salsa had no kick, and we had some issue with drink avaialiability, but everytuhg else was vey good and they were doing a solid job of getting through Easter craziness.

Decided to make a reservation for 15 people on the patio as I have been to Mojave before with friends. I met with Cindy to put us down. I had a few questions to which she answered with two words and had an overall “whatever”attitude. She said that she couldn't guarantee a table for us but would do her best to sit us outside. I told her that we chose Mojave because we wanted the patio if we didn't get it we would go somewhere else. Cindy could care less about our hundreds of dollars we would spend there. She said sorry a lot of people would probably call last minute to want to sit outside and its first come first serve. To which I answered that is why I am making it ahead of time. We went back and fourth for awhile. Clearly I cancelled the reservation as I decided to spend my money in another restaurant where I feel welcome and in good hands. Will definitely not be going back to Mojave!

Shrimp and grits were my favorite. The server Katie was the sweetest with much patience. My 3rd time returning and it gets better each time! Thanks so much Mojave for your exceptional service.

Calamari was tough and chewy rest of food was good.
Loved it! Our first time there! Made a reservation for outside dining and was a perfect day for it! A bit cool, but with their perfectly placed heaters and see through breeze protection it was delightful. The food was exceptional, the margaritas house-made fresh delicious, and our server attentive, friendly, and excellent! We were there for the Sunday brunch and the menu choices were varied and all were appealing. Each of the 3 of us chose something different and each of us were very pleased with our choices! We will definitely return again soon for an evening meal on one of the nights they have live music! This is DEFINITELY a restaurant not to be missed!

The service was super slow and when my food came it had a 3” bone in the chicken taco. Thankfully, they comped it and my friend's meal who was also eating chicken, but the manager wasn't very apologetic about it.
Only bad thing i have to say is that even with a reservation, the wait time was another 45 minutes. Drinks were great. Food was delicious. Would definitely go back. Had the blue cornbreadvand a lemon drop drink. Ate my entree before I could grab a pic

My friend and I went Mojave for my birthday brunch and I loved it. I've driven passed this place for nearly 10 years and always wanted to eat there. I'm glad we chose this option to celebrate my special day. I'll be back for sure.

We had a reservation but had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated. They set us at a good table and it was a nice view. Had to have been an event there they were quite loud but the food was amazing. We don't get our appetizers as our server forgot but everything we got was good.

Our food and service were fantastic! It was easy to set up reservations for a group of 10, they were ready for us. This is a great location for large groups or small groups, and we were very pleased. The food came out timely and the service was excellent. This is definitely a place I will revisit.
