From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and comfortable. The lounge is clean, well-kept, and set up perfectly to actually enjoy a cigar without feeling rushed or out of place. Simon truly made the experience exceptional.

That level of service is rare and appreciated.

I chose a mango concoction and was delighted with the presentation and the taste. All of the servers appeared happy and content in their work and overall as you see... I gave it five stars! I definitely will go back and invite you to enjoy the pleasures and atmosphere. I'm going back time to the happiness of Cuba!

The hostess ignored us, sat two other parties that came in after we did, ignored that we were told to sit down and then finally came to me and told me she had a "special table for me outside by the Koi pond"...um, no. And this might not bother other people, but someone who works at the restaurant was wearing a huge diamond Trump crown that was massive and very obvious as we walked into the restaurant. That's our first impression of a restaurant where the public is supposed to come and have dinner. Also, there was a sign denoting that they play Real "American" music and the word American was in quotation marks like any other kind of music is not American. It was absolutely offensive from the minute. we walked in the restaurant to the minute - I stormed out and it ruined my holiday and I hope no one else makes the same mistake. Save your money!

I went during Happy Hour and each dish was between $8-$9 which is really a fantastic deal. I like that you can order and pay directly from the tablet that's on the table. Even though I utilized the tablet, the server was friendly and she consistently checked on me and made sure my beverage was refilled. I blame the good deals for enabling me to be a big back. I ended up ordering four dishes even though I was dining alone. 1. Chicken Nachos: A hefty portion that comes with chicken, tomato's, fresh sliced jalapeños, cilantro, green onion, sour cream and guacamole. Cheese is baked onto the tortilla chips and finished with a drizzle of salsa. A bit skimpy of the protein, I did wish there was more chicken. 2. Truffled Mushroom Pizza: Great if you like a strong umami mushroom flavor. A mix of shiitake, cremini and oyster mushrooms and drizzled with truffle aioli. The crust was decent and a good amount of cheese. A little greasy. 3. Poke Nachos: Love the crunch from the fried wonton chips. Comes with raw tuna, fresh avocado, serrano peppers, green onions, nori, and drizzled with sriracha aïoli, white truffle sauce, and sweet soy ginger sauce. I think they used a bit too much soy ginger sauce because it was a tad salty. Still a very refreshing dish! 4. Classic Sliders: Generously comes with four sliders topped with cheddar and their special sauce. Comes with a side of fries and pickles. I loved the brioche buns and as basic as cheeseburgers are, this was probably my favorite dish. I was stuffed and had plenty to take home. Overall a good experience!

Some mini boutique but not much. Theres a decent size covered patio dining area but with the heat starting to creep up, no one was utilizing it. They all want the air condition dining. We walked in just after happy hour started. Checked in with the hostess but as we just wanted the bar seating, we just sat ourselves. The restaurant isn't big compared to other locations I've been but it's fairly nice. It's wasn't too busy at the time we walked in but by the time we left, the place was packed. I guess loads were also there for happy hour. We sat at the bar and were giving the menus. But it did take a LONG while till someone actually helped us out. Some of the staff would walk by and kept saying "I'll be right with you", but it never happened. That left a little sour taste to the service. Finally, Slyvanna I believe that was her name took care of us. Very sweet and so friendly. Made the experience better than the beginning. Of course with happy hours, you have a good amount of appetizer that's half off and drink specials on draft, well, bottle and cocktail. A few dollars off depending on what you get. Sometimes sticking to your usual is the way to go. A nice pint of cider and beer to cool off before ordering some bites. Can never go wrong with Cajun ahi sashimi and the truffle mushrooms pizza. Both were delicious. It's alway a must whenever I'm at yard house for happy hour. Plus you can't beat the prices, half off appetizers. It was packed when we left and the service was better once our order was taken. Food and drinks didn't take long to come out. It was like they were cracking out everyone's order right when it was put in. An assembly line in a way. The location was nice, plenty of parking and in a cool area. Service was very slow at the beginning. Somewhat ignored, but we were taken care by Slyvanna.

Happy Hour is 3:30-6 and there's a few dollar discount on selected food items and drinks. For appetizers, we ordered the Burrata platter and the dates. We also ordered a date burger and the following martinis: pear, pink lady, and espresso martini. This was my first time trying an espresso martini (ever) and I'm glad I waited until the end of dinner before ordering it. It's more a dessert or finishing drink. The Burrata platter was delicious and beautifully presented. The dates were good but too sweet for our tastes (yes, we are aware dates are naturally sweet, LOL). We only ate a few and saved the rest for later. The date burger and fries were delicious. The only downside was I asked for the burger to be cooked medium and it was well done. The drinks were good and beautifully presented. The ambiance and atmosphere, for this restaurant, is very upscale and unique. I will continue visiting each time I'm in La Quinta. See you soon!
