    This is a great casual place that will satisfy everyone. The menu ranges from salads, to burgers, to sandwiches and entrees. The fun and usually cute staff are very entertaining. This gay restaurant easily crosses over for anyone to enjoy. Sit on the front or back patio for outdoors...plenty of heaters for winter dining. Drinks are great!

    The Mexican Chicken Chef Salad served in a tortilla was delicious but, even though I specified "wrapped tightly" it was served so loosely wrapped that contents fell out while eating

    Just ok…..not sure what the hype is about For example: best Bloody Mary in the valley. Maybe for the garnish, but the actual drink was watery and not very spicy

    Great food and drinks. Lovely view. Very busy and our wonderful server was clearly over working. Maybe need more staff on busy days. Otherwise not our first or last time there!

    Overall good experience. The burgers were delicious. Service could not have been better, our waiter was very attentive and welcoming. Cauliflower buffalo wings were soggy, maybe serve in a pool of sauce rather than toss. Blue cheese and ranch dressing were very tasty. Obviously homemade. Nachos would have been nicer spread out on a larger plate with cheese better melted & garnish of green onions for a more eye catching presentation. Nacho flavor and side toppings were on point.
