We came here for the first time on a Friday evening having read so many great reviews on Yelp. There was a 20-minute wait and I am very happy they can take down your name and text you when the table was ready instead of having to wait inside the restaurant. We came back at the 15-minute mark and our table was ready and was seated promptly.
We ordered the the fried calamari, warm steak salad, chicken burger, and a red sangria.
Red sangria - very nicely presented, flavour was excellent. I don't usually drink alcohol but the sangria was done very well, strong but fruity, not watered down at all. I would definitely recommend!
Fried calamari - flavour was great, the spicy jalapeƱos was a great addition. However, we found the texture of the calamari to be too soft and almost rubbery. It seems as though the calamari was pre-cooked, and the batter was added on later on. By the time we were half way done the dish the batter has soften and the dishes was not so pleasant. I would skip this one. The bed of salad underneath was very fresh though.
Warm Steak Salad - I wish the salad base was more than just spinach, perhaps a mix of salad green with some hearty veggies (Kale, sweet potato, charred broccoli etc.) would be a good addition. The steak was cook very well and flavourful. A good dinner salad but I was not overly impressed.
Chicken burger - the burger was good but we found the portion size to be on the small size for the price.
Service was excellent overall. The staff was friendly, attentive, warm without being overbearing, a combination which is not easy to come by these days. However, I am disappointed with the quality/quantity and ambience of my experience.
