    The food was incredibly salty and the quality has gone down through the years. Ambiance is still great.

    We booked an inside table but were asked if we could be seated on the patio when we arrived. We agreed. Food was phenomenal. Overall drinks were good, although I ordered the SS Flamingo and while it came in a cool mug, it was mostly ice. Service was not great. Over the course of 50 min our server came to us three times. The table next to us and across from us saw her 5-8 times in that time frame. During a 25 min stretch (30 min since our first round of drinks were delivered) one of us eventually went up to the bar to order another round of drinks. Not sure if that type of service was a one-off thing or the norm.

    Food was super spicy. If your sensitive to spice I don't recommend eating here. Such a shame cause it was yummy but burned my mouth and torn up my stomach. Not to mentioned expensive for small amount of food. Drinks were good, atmosphere was awesome.
