Labor Day 2023: I came here after hearing about this place from some colleagues at work…read more My goal was to compare their oysters and seafood cocktail against another place I visited last week. The oysters were good but the presentation was a bit off. They come out in a huge tray of ice which melted kinda quick - if you wait too long to have your oysters, you will be pulling them out of water. Also, the cocktail sauce that came with them was super watered down and messy to pour from the little cups it came in. The shrimp cocktail, though, was beautifully presented and delicious. It was topped with cilantro, red onion, and avocado. I relished every bite. Chips and salsa before the meal were good, too. The chips are dusted with some spicy powder which you can get hooked on, and the salsas were good and spicy. Unfortunately for me, though, I was exposed to Maroon 5, One Republic, and Bruno Mars songs blasting throughout the place. It felt kinda clubby, and not any club I would ever want to be in. All in all, though, not a bad place for seafood. I am definitely coming back after hearing about other entrees to try, especially their grilled octopus.

We arrived around 6 PM on a Friday and were surprised of how empty this place was. After eating and…read morethe drinks we are surprised even more. This place is too good to be this empty.

My pescado a Las brazas (which was not made over brazas but in an oven) was tender, plentiful, and covered in a delicious alfredo/Cajun style sauce. The soft yellowish rice was soft and soaked up the sauce nicely and the butter thick piece of bread was a nice compliment to the meal. The salad on the plate was watery and not served with dressing, only tarter sauce. Visually the plate was a hot mess, but flavor wise, it's something I would order again. My wife's coconut Shrimp was over cooked (blackened) and rubbery, but the flavor was there. The real low lights of the visit were the non-existent service from the mesera and the terrible conditions of the bathroom (looks on going and not recent) The server brought drinks once and dropped off the food, but never checked on us, refilled our drinks, or asked if anything else was needed. Overall, order the food "To-Go" and enjoy it at home.

You can't miss this small restaurant.

How is it that they miss my order when they had 20 plus minutes to prepare it. And it was not lunch or dinner rush. You need to hire competent employees.

I'm hoping I don't get sick from eating this trash! Do better or just don't do it!! Not everyone in town is complacent enough to give this trash heap of a place a 5 star rating. This is ridiculous. I am not coming back here. And in all honesty we all need to stop making these badly run and expensive places rich. We deserve better than this trash. Don't settle for barely edible food and bad service. Demand more from these uncaring owners. And I'm includeding all local restaurants. And looking at the reviews the owners don't seem to care what happens at their business as they don't bother to reply to any comments.

It was busy at the time I entered (10:15 am on a Wednesday) but I was seated immediately. My server Ivan was excellent and brought me coffee and my food order quickly.

Pancakes were great and Ivan even asked me if I wanted strawberry or blueberry topping on them. Of course I took the strawberries which put the pancakes over the top. Eggs, bacon and hash browns were delicious. I always enjoy supporting local restaurants and this place was loud, festive and enjoyable.

First impression is that it's a nice place, food is amazing however this place needs more employees on the floor wanting to attend guests. This is my second visit here and both visits my wife had to get up and go to the bar because the 2 different female servers would take some time to visit us again at our table. My wife went to the bar and complained about the service and a nasty smell coming from around the women's restroom and men's not once but on two times we visited. The bartender apologized and took care of us read more

Decided to take the wife out to eat and the food was good but it reminds me of emperor gardens nasty smell. I decided to take my food to go after coming to eat at this place. Not coming back here again. Let alone the ridiculous rules of how many drinks you can have and service is terrible. Sometimes you gotta get up and ask the bartender to serve you your drink Let alone how we were treated by our server and the manager this day. Forget this place......go somewhere else read more
