So very disappointed with service, marketing, and meal. I came from California and wanted to have…read moresomething nice and unique. The menu online looks spectacular and had a lot of interesting dishes. I was super excited. I saw that they were open late and I was also very happy about this because my meal was after work. I arrived at 9:30 walked in the side entrance and saw a post hunched over and squatted down, looking at her iPhone. I also saw another employee leaning on the host stand talking to her. He didn't greet me neither did she until I walked to the front of the house stand. She got up from her crouch position and said can I help you? I was surprised to see what she was wearing, an oversized hoodie with some type of logo on it, which was not an appropriate thing to wear, and it did not match the other employee that were more crisp. I said dining for one and grabbed a menu and slid it across the host stand out of pure laziness. She slumped her way over with the menu hanging on her left side and sat me at a table. Wow what a lousy first impression for a restaurant that I was so excited to visit. A server came over gave me a menu and brought me water. Disappointed to see that the menu was completely different from the menu that I saw online. No unique dishes and the variety was not great. However, I was there and felt I'd give it a chance. A server that was at the bar entering tickets or something, kept looking over at my table, but no one ever acknowledged me after I was seated. I waited for about 10 minutes until someone realized I need assistance. The server finally came over. He was polite to check my order served my meal left me to be on my own to check on me one time, but it certainly wasn't a two minute check when he should to see if my meal was to my satisfaction. My plates were not cleared and I had to ask for the check.. the food was OK. I had the salmon. Nothing spectacular. risotto was uneventful. Got my check and left. No goodbye, no thank you for coming in no stand out service. As a restaurant professional in California, I can't figure out if it's just a Texas thing or they rate everything high or this restaurant truly is deserving of its accolades..

I was excited to try this place and was not too impressed. They only have buffet and the majority of the food was cold and dried out. The buttered naan was butterless and burnt. The spring rolls were good but cold and greasy. The butter chicken and curry were good but cold and greasy. The biryani was dried out and gummy. The Szechuan chicken was cold and dried out. The mango pudding was good but the milk balls have a weird texture but the syrup was good. They use plates and silverware but styrofoam cups and cocktail napkins. In fairness to them, they restocked the buffet and I sampled the naan, Szechuan chicken and spring rolls and they were much better. Problem is I can get Szechuan chicken and spring rolls at any Chinese buffet.

Food is very flavorful but they should bring back buffet and curry goat. Restaurant is very cleanread more

Drinks around $8-$10, canned beer (I didn't see draft), and cocktails. The Guava cocktail with coconut rum gave island vibes, while the gin and tonic with cucumber was just okay. Something about the gin and tonic was unusually sweet. Would've held off on that. If you're going to get food, the wings from the truck outside are good. The pirate taco from another trick, not so great.

Bad : Bar area is undersized for the amount of traffic. Both sides of the bar are more times often than not found to have excruciatingly long lines just to order a drink. Drinks : while fairly priced, the mixed drinks aren't as strong as you'd probably hope for them to be. They taste good but it is almost as if you're paying $8 for a juice.

The prices here are reasonable compared to Houston or Dallas, for example, but most everything is a la carte, so you can spend a lot quickly if not careful. My eyes were set on the seabass ceviche, so I know I had to have that. I also wanted a cocktail, but I remembered I had a long drive ahead of me, so I just opted for more food instead. I ordered the corn flake fried chicken sandwich. Ceviche - a nicely sized portion that comes with 2 crispy tortillas. Inside the ceviche are finely diced carrots, red onions and cucumbers, cilantro, sliced avocado, and numerous pieces of diced fish and lime juice at the bottom. 5/5 Chicken sandwich - served on a plate with 2 sliced yellow cherry tomatoes sitting face down. This has a large breast, with pickles and cole slaw. 3/5 This is my kinda place, and it seems fairly unusual to find a restaurant like this in Laredo of all places. I would definitely come back on my next visit to Laredo.

They didn't realize it had happed until a short while later. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the cashier who sold me the ticket, but she informed my server, Kat, who then informed me. Between the two of them, they made an attempt to accommodate me by providing a machine that would provide me with the captioning for the movie. Kat also made sure to apologize to me multiple times. Although the apology was not needed, it was much appreciated. I just decided to pay for my food and my beer, and then exchange my ticket for another movie in English. I had a great friendly conversation with both employees and couldn't be happier with my experience. I would like to thank the management for the professionalism you've instilled in your employees. They're great.
