| - Went in with a party of 6 @ 4:30 pm for Happy Hour. They had us seated just short of the outside patio and boy was it LOUD.. We asked to be seated inside and they took care of it for us. Patio seemed full and very few tables in the restaurant at that early hour. After taking our drink order we didn't get them for about 15 min. Worry some. Turns out that was the last glitch of our evening.
We had 8 appetizers, enough for everyone to get at least a taste.
1. Colorado Calimari. Anaheim and Fresno chilis made it tasty. Calamari fried nicely.
2. Ginger Chicken pot stickers (5). These were very tasty and not dry with a sweet dipping sauce.
3.French Fries two ways: garlic fried and cinnamon sweet potatos. Not a fan of the spice on the sweet potato fries.
4.Mini Carnitas Mac n Cheese. My favorite dish. Carnitas shredded and cooked with the large spiral mac n cheese and green chilis. Baked in a small skillet and served bubbling hot.
5. Sticky Belly Steamed Buns. Steamed buns filled with sticky pork belly, Asian peanut slaw, cilantro, green onion. The buns were of good quality, well made.
6. Filet Mignon Sliders. (2). Tasty, tender meat, brioche bun, an asian peanut slaw with cilantro, and onion.
7. Al Carbon steak nachos. a HUGE plate of tortilla chips and lots of cheese with sliced Angus beef, pico de gallo, fresh jalapeƱos, sides of cilantro crema, sour cream and Guac. ( I could not find the guac?)
8. Buffalo Wings. (5) We had these but without the spices as we had sensitive some palettes. Wings fried perfectly served with a ranch sauce carrots and celery.
After the slow start the server was very attentive and we didn't feel rushed or harried.
Side note: the salad courses on the menu were huge and I would order the
Avocado Shrimp
Roasted chilled shrimp, baby spinach, chopped hard-boiled egg, tomato, cucumber, avocado, fried capers, remoulade dressing.
3.5 stars.
