We started with the lobster and shrimp dip--rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For our entrees, my husband ordered the filet paired with a margarita, while I had the shrimp and a refreshing mule. Every bite and sip was perfection. The service was phenomenal--friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly celebrated. The atmosphere, the food, the staff--everything was spot on. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

After dinner on The Square, we made a pit stop at Black Pearl, a small, narrow bar attached to…read moreRick's On the Square. We all ordered a drink. My friend and my girlfriend both ordered their espresso martini that my friend claimed was the best espresso martini in town, while I got the bartender's recommendation of the Animal Style, a pineapple and jalapeño infused tequila with strawberries, cardamom bitters, and a lemon peel garnish. Normally, I hate any drink that is spicy. I cannot stand a Bloody Mary because I don't believe drinks should be allowed to be spicy, but this one, for having jalapeño, is not spicy at all. If anything, it's slightly savory with its tropical flavor. The bartender was great. They have appetizers and tapas as well and as my girlfriend sat down, she really wanted just one of their fresh oysters. I ordered her just one to try and it was $4.25. They gave us the smallest one they could find. The tiniest oyster of all time. I guess size really didn't matter because according to her it was very good. I would go back and have a few more cocktails, but it is a nice place to hang out on the square on a Friday night. A good time to be had by all. RIYL: The finest, most $15ish cocktail you can find.

Just had a great lunch at Judd's celebrating my husband's 75th birthday. The place was mostly empty…read moreso it was quiet and we could talk. UNTIL: a family of 5 were seated in the booth next to us. 2 young children, one 3-4 years old, another in a stroller. The older one hung on the glass barrier between the booths and it bent under her weight. I worried it would break and injure my 90 yr old mother. Parents were only interested in their phone. Then the baby started screaming, again no attempt by parents to comfort. No waitresses or owner intervention to request control. Another patron strolled over and politely asked that the quiet the child. Father rudely told the "old man to f' off and go sit down." Only then did the "mother" attempt to quiet the child. They then proceeded to complain to the manager that the man had been aggressive. He apologized to them! My husband and I got up and went and thanked the man. He was only a few minutes ahead of us complaining about the children. We could not talk to each other as we ate because we couldn't hear each other. So this is a good/bad review. The food was great and worth the money for our celebration but our experience was ruined by staff/managements failure to provide a nice environment and parents not willing to control their children. We might be back.

Brenda L was the server who took my order. Per their suggestion I ordered the birria tacos which came with rice, beans, toppings and then a side of chips and salsa. The tacos were okay. I think coming from Texas I'm just used to food being more seasoned, but the meat was tender and the portions were generous. Now usually at a taco joint either the green or red salsa will be on the milder, less spicy side but here ?? If you like heat then you're in for a treat because oh my lord LOL.
