Always enjoy the food here. Their steak is a must try! Edit to my review today. Had the skirt steak & was very bland. Would've liked some sauce (chimichurri) to go with it & more flavor overall on the 🍤 shrimp.

I had the seafood, wife had the chicken, mom had the meat. They were all amazing. They come out in a cast iron skillet with a burner so the food always comes out hot. Definitely would recommend for meat lovers.

Dined in and did takeout on a number of occasions. Great menu, lovely sides, cool atmosphere. Staff are very accommodating. Outdoor seating in the summer is a nice touch, but make sure that your table(s) is cleaned with a damp cloth before you're seated. ...Read More

Great hidden place. The building is unassuming from the outside but the food was top notch. Delicious. Enormous portions. Anything that says "for 2 people" really can feed 3-4.

Great menu, a wide range of different foods to satisfy anybody but small enough to not detract from its quality. Big portions, fast service. Atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming but the actual interior is a bit bland and generic. This becomes extremely obvious if it's...Read More
