The Green Lantern was a pretty good experience overall, though it wasn't exactly my scene…read more The place has a more preppy vibe than I typically go for, and the drinks were definitely on the pricier side. That said, the venue was busy, energetic, and clearly popular with the crowd that was there. The highlight of the night was the live band. They were fantastic and brought a lot of energy to the room. The music really elevated the experience and kept the atmosphere fun throughout the evening. It did get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, this probably isn't it. But if you're looking for live music, a lively crowd, and a night out with friends, you'll likely have a good time. Not necessarily my favorite hangout spot, but still a solid experience.

However, when we arrived (and throughout our meal) the dining room occupancy never reached 50%-fyi! I requested a booth, but we had to switch shortly after we were seated because the table was SERIOUSLY wobbling whenever we touched it. The Calamari was just, meh...maybe because it was prepared unlike I'd ever had before. I ordered the "Stuffed Salmon" and as U can see, it didn't meet expectations-plus it was small for the price. My fiancée ordered the Pasta Flight and immediately discovered that it was more than she'd bargained for. Overall, it was tasty, with the exception of the chicken-which was dry. She also had to request fresh bread because they were all so hard. Also, our entrees were extremely late to arrive, based on the crowd-over 30 minute wait!!!

For dinner a friend of mine and I decided to split the beef flight, which was not only delicious but incredibly generous; we actually had plenty left over. If you go, definitely do not miss the Beef Wellington. It was easily my favorite part of the meal. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a top-tier dining experience. Very nice atmosphere inside the restaurant as well.

The service is good, but not great. Our server last night held true to that. I can't put my finger on it, he checked on us some, but not quite enough. We actually asked a different server for our check because it had been awhile since we'd seen our server. The atmosphere is my biggest gripe. My opinion is that it is a large, cold space with no distinguishing characteristics. It does have many large tables, which often draws large groups. This is great because they can accommodate, but conversely it can get quite loud. Bottom line is that I highly recommend Tu Asador. The food keeps us coming back for more!!!

It's located in a shopping center in the Stone Oak area with plenty of parking, even though we went late on a Friday night. The indoor dining was clean, spacious and enough tables to accommodate several parties. Live music for entertainment made for a relaxing time. The indoor lighting had a slight blue tint to provide more of a layback experience. The coconut shrimp appetizer was a good choice and very tasty. The Mojarra Chicharron, whole deep fried Tilapia, was not only delicious, but the presentation was perfect. Precut fried chunks placed on top of the fish made it easy to dip in the sauce and eat. Wifey went with the Pasado Del Rio, filet of Salmon, with lemon butter. It was well prepared and had a good blend of flavors. The prices were fair compared to other upscale seafood restaurants with entrees in the $20 range but also offer some Chef specials up to $75 for a shared meal.

The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel welcome enough to have a drink at your leisure while kicking back in the comfortable chairs. With live music in the background, this was the perfect place to recap our fun day and watch other guests come and go. Smiles were abundant and laughter was in the air.

I think the name is hilarious because whenever you mention it to people, they ask "what place?" or ask for you to drop a pin for location since you can't figure out the name. First thing you notice when walking in is the eclectic atmosphere and funky furniture. The outdoor area is decorated with miscellaneous outdoor furniture pieces and the indoor decor is no different. Everyone at the bar (patrons and staff) are very friendly and happy to chat. Additionally, there were quite a few loose dogs which made it even more fun... I love the pups! We went inside to place our drink orders. My friend ordered a bud light (bottled as they have a limited draft menu) and I ordered a Dulce Vida Lime Tequila w/ Topo Chico & Lime. I had tried to order a few other items (like a Deep Eddy Lime Vodka w/ Diet Tonic but they were out of that liquor... and a bunch of other liquors). For the second round, I ended up ordering a Deep Eddy Cranberry Vodka w/ Topo Chico. The drinks I ordered are ones I have had before and somehow they didn't taste as good here, but they definitely weren't bad my any means. Plus, the bartenders were so nice that I wouldn't have complained. I loved that they had a popcorn machine, offered complimentary popcorn & peanuts, and had fun live music. This place was fun all around and would be great to bring a large group to! I would definitely go back with a group of friends - the whole ambiance is too fun not to.

But also...every day until 6 or 7 it's buy one get one half off all food. So I'm just pretending the charcuterie was $14 as the pizza we got was very good and well worth the $24. And my wife got a glass of wine for $8 and it was a very heavy pour. So just over $60 with tip and we brought home leftovers. We will be back! But I'd skip the charcuterie.

Not bitter, light bodied & easy to drink. We savored the ambiance in the outdoor patio as it FINALLY cooled down to the low 70s! We were given water in a carafe and 2 glasses. I'm sensitive to the taste of municipal tap water so I should've asked if it was filtered water? You'll have to ask for ice cubes if you want ice. Our tapas were the scallops ceviche tostadas(2 tortillas holding them) & a flatbread with Serrano jamon, sliced pears, melted brie, onions & drizzled balsamic glaze. Hubs liked it but I thought it was lukewarm & skimpy on the ham. The cheese wasn't gooey & cooled off. Was slightly gamey to me. He loved his scallop ceviche tostada. The restaurant wasn't very occupied but our server said it gets pretty packed in the evening esp. when there's live music. More people came in when we were almost finished eating.

We started with the salmon dip, pimento cheese, and fried quail for the table, and all three appetizers were excellent. Everyone really enjoyed them. Four of the six of us ordered steaks, and unfortunately none were cooked to the requested temperature. Considering this is a steakhouse, that was disappointing. The sides are à la carte, and we found the pricing hard to justify. The small serving of portabella mushrooms wasn't worth the $20 price tag, and the mashed potatoes tasted like they had been sitting for a while rather than being made fresh or made to order--not worth $10. The chicken entrée was good, but the standout of the evening was the New Zealand Red Deer Chop. It was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly but quite slow. My Kendall Smash wasn't refilled until we had finished eating and were asking for our checks. For parties of six or more, a 20% gratuity is automatically added (as noted on the menu), but it was placed entirely on one person's check instead of being split among the group, which created an awkward situation. The atmosphere is pleasant. The lighting and acoustics make for a comfortable dining experience, although it's always colder inside than I'd prefer. One small detail that stood out was the used wine glasses being stored along the ledges in the dining room when removed from tables--it felt a little out of place. Overall, I'd give The Kendall another chance. Next time I'd probably request the patio when the weather cools down and order the Red Deer Chop again.
