Delicious food. Excellent service, but the music was awful and loud. We weren't able to talk with our friends. It's not a good place to talk and enjoy dinner at the same time

All the staff is wonderful. Francisco has been our waiter many times. He is wonderful & very attentive. The owner Clyde, does not cut corners. Most of hid food is made by scratch & is premium as well as his accommodations. I would highly recommend this Restaurant. If there was 10 stars to give, I would give 20 stars.

We celebrated three special birthdays that were made even better by a perfect experience in every way. The exceptionally warm and attentive staff adds so much to this place, we felt like we were part of their family. And of course the food was excellent. The appetizer sea scallops dish is one of my all-time favorites. I had a double order as my main course, it was perfecto!
