Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Southwest

We had an excellent experience on Christmas Eve. The Deviled Crab was the table’s favorite appetizer followed by the Monkey Bread dredged in the crab’s tomato compote. The Flounder special was cooked perfectly and the portion size was enough to prevent Santa from coming down most chimneys. Don’t sleep on the cabbage side, even if you “don’t like cabbage”. It’s definitely a game changer. The dirty martinis are consistently top notch. Credence should be toward the top of every Must Eat Here list.

Really enjoyed dinner here! Drinks were made perfectly! Loved the fried artichokes, meatballs and focaccia. Of the entrees we ordered, the sheet pan lasagna was our favorite followed by the bolognese. The Marsala trumpets were good but not particularly special. Tiramisu and cheesecake were the perfect ending to the meal! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

While the food and service received by our server, Angel was exceptional, my group of 5 did encounter less than stellar service from the food runners in our section. We were seated in the private room as an overflow measure, even though we had a reservation for the main dining room. The private room was set up sparsely with round tables too close to each other. / members of the party were seated with their backs and chairs in close proximity to the 2 tables behind them and when other guests were seated at those tables, there was virtually no walkable space between them. This didn’t stop the food runners from attempting to maneuver between the chairs and one runner in particular was rude and so insistent on fitting through the tiny space she physically touched a member of my party with her body on several occasions. After being asked to please go around and not attempt to continue to fit in between the chairs, she scoffed at the request and rolled her eyes before exiting the private room. We did not see this runner again and did not bring it up to management as there was no further escalation or incident.

Santa Claus was there to greet us when we came in and we were all able to take selfies with him. The weight was just a few minutes for getting our table. The waiter showed up and took our orders and our food was delivered within 15 minutes. Everything was delicious and just as we expected.

First time eating there food and service was excellent. Not a large place so it was a little noisy. A little pricey but in line for the quality of the food.Three of us had the Red Snapper and one had the Pork Chop they were all cooked perfectly and the Pork Chop was huge easily enough for two people. I had the Santa Cruz sauce and my wife had the Pontchartrain sauce both were excellent. Will definitely be back.
