My family and I arrived at 1:10 pm. The host /hostess was not available. After I walked around to find an employee, a server came out from the kitchen and greeted me. She sat us in a booth. The food was decent tasting, and the soup was room temperature when it was served.

Went today for the first time in over 2 years. Why did I stop going? Because the restaurant was dirty and the food sub-par. The floor is still sticky and silverware and drinkware spotted. This is really a Corpus water issue, but there are things the restaurant can do to fix it. Lunchtime; was not crowded 3 servers observed but only one hustling. Our server tried her best, but the rest of the staff failed her. My order was wrong (Italian nachos, missing the chicken and sausage), and came to the table 15-20 minutes before my lunch date's. Asked to have the order remade and realized what time it was so canceled it and asked to have it removed from ticket. Manager was supposed to come talk to us, but did a tour around the restaurant and never came to our table.

Worst dining experience I've had in years. As soon as we walked in, it smelled like sewage. Ordered calamari and there was only a few pieces, the rest was just pepper and there was barely any breading. Bread was almost raw and the salads were full of rotten lettuce. Fettuccine was horrible and tasted like it had a lot of nutmeg or something in it. My daughter could barely eat her cheese ravioli because the cheese was gross and the sauce was like chef boyardee. Waiter was the only good experience. We will never be back and advise anyone from eating here. Should of known when we were one of the only people at the restaurant.

Almost didn’t try this restaurant after reading other reviews. Really glad we gave it a chance. Food, service, ambiance were all great!

I will start off by saying our waitress was fantastic! Her name was Adriana very polite, kind, and was incredibly attentive to us. On the other hand the host I think her name was Mariah was incredibly rude. We walked in and no one was in the front, stood there for a while. When she came up we said hi how are you. She said “how many” and immediately turned her back to us, didn't make any eye contact, no greeting not even a smile. I saw her multiple times walk to the back stay on her phone while people were waiting to be greeted at the door. You need a friendly host it is the face of your business, and sets the mood for the rest of the evening. Thankfully our waitress made up for it she is the reason we left happy. And the reason the review isn’t a 1 start.

Staff is extremely nice and courteous, made sure our drinks never ran empty. Food was hot and is always delicious. Atmosphere is perfect for family night or even date nights. Management is always exceptional.

This place should just be called NO!! The staff was super friendly. The food was horrible . The best part of the meal was the bread , the salad mix and the cheesecake . I was super hungry but the noodles were not properly cooked, the one piece of chicken was unseasoned and possibly canned chicken. The pasta was dry . The Alfredo sauce was not flavorful or creamy. I like the generous portions but this food was not authentic or properly cooked . There was a guy dressed like a chef but I'm thinking he was not an actual chef and just someone wearing a party city costume .This was a meal option for two people which was great but I was quoted one price but at check out the price was doubled . This food was not worth the $$ . A Wendy's 4 for $4 would have been better .The other half of the restaurant is a BBQ restaurant. The staff stated the two share the staff and the cook. Tragic !!While waiting for our food I met another patron who happened to be staying at the same hotel . The next morning at checkout our paths crossed and she also mentioned her family dined in. She went on to say their order was slow to arrive , wrong and not tasty . She said the server told her they are not accustomed to being busy . Yikes.

I love that they have craft beer now. The food has been amazing the 3 times I have gone. The service is hit and miss but the food and beer make up for that.
