The owner came by to share more about the restaurant, including their special nights—Thursdays feature a jazz band and pork chops! They're also offering weekend dinners for two for $50 and brunch from 10 AM to 6 PM on weekends, complete with $5 Bloody Marys. The service was excellent as well. Based on our experience today, we will definitely return to try more dishes. Don’t be deterred by the small storefront in the strip center—there’s plenty of parking along the side of the building and ample seating inside, plus a lovely covered deck with many tables outside if you prefer al fresco dining.
As soon as you step inside, you'll sense a laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel like you've discovered a special spot. The quality of both the service and the food truly reinforces this feeling. Brian, the chef, has an eclectic style that blends various culinary genres into incredibly delicious dishes, any of which could easily become your new favorites. There’s really nothing to dislike about this place!
I visited for the first time today and had a fantastic experience. Our waitress was incredibly kind, and the food was absolutely delicious! We started with the seafood-stuffed mushrooms appetizer (though I didn't take a picture). I loved them! The atmosphere is modern and comfortable, which we also really appreciated. The drink menu features classic, familiar options for those who prefer traditional choices, as well as plenty of unique selections for those feeling adventurous. It's a great spot to enjoy a beer, try a new cocktail, or just savor some delicious food.
For an appetizer I started with the stuffed mushrooms which were amazing. It had a good kick we're cooked excellently. It still had a bite to it and was juicy. I was able to cut each in half without making a mess. Beautiful plating. For my main course I ordered the lamb chops. The asparagus was cooked Al dente and the lamb was perfect. Juicy and tender. The mint chimichurri wasn't overpowering and was on there just perfect. Not sure what was over the white rice but it paired well with everything on the plate. I finished with the Flan and as expected it was really good. I didn't see too many reviews on it so I wanted to try it. The overall experience was great, waitress was sweet, the music was relaxing, the atmosphere inside was nice and also relaxing.
