Four of us dropped into the restaurant last night (Saturday). They sat us at a table for 6, which was fine. It was 7PM and there were only a couple of other tables, it seemed like a quiet night. We ordered some drinks which were fine. We ordered dinner re: several entries and a couple of appetizers. They gave us a small basket of chips and salsa. They were fine. Those were gone in 15 minutes and no sign of any food. They avoided our table, and 30 minutes after ordering, one appetizer arrived, but it was dropped off by another server, with no side plates and no one else around. So we just looked at the ribs and waited. Another 5 minutes later everything else arrived. This was about 40+ minutes, about an hour after we arrived. None of the dishes were hot. I ordered the fried zucchini and shrimp dish and the flavor was fine, but it was cold. No server asked how the meals were or checked on us. The food was marginal, and cold. About 15 minutes after the meal was over, they cleared the table. I was able to flag a server finally about 10 minutes later to see if we could get a bill. She said "didn't your server do that". No, so she said she would have someone do that. This is the second time we had this experience here. Really on a Saturday at 7PM when it was not that busy? Terrible service, cold food, and the food itself was marginal. I'm glad others had better luck. Doubt we will be back.

Great handcrafted margaritas and delicious guacamole made table-side.Fair pricing for premium menu.Small bar with sports televisionOutdoor dining patio as well.Try the iced tea margarita if you are a tea lover like me, or the jalapeno margarita if you like it kicked up a bit.

I got the chicken, steak, and shrimp grill. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it on the menu. It came with sauteed vegetables, zucchini, corn, onions, broccoli, that kind of thing. It was very good!

The food was exceptional, and I am an out of state person from Wisconsin. The owner was very personable and fun to talk with, the staff was very friendly. The food, from scratch, was wonderful. I will be back again.
