I really debated on the number of stars I wanted to give this place. If I were basing it solely on one thing or another it might be different. First off we will talk about the food. We went in and sat at the bar and ordered the chips & salsa for an appetizer and they pick the different salsas for you. We got a pineapple, regular and the arbol salsa. The pineapple was good but not something I would normally dip chips into, the regular was really sweet but the arbol was my favorite. It tasted more like traditional salsa to me.
We ordered the veggie tacos to split with a side of the jalapeno grits. The grits were amazing. They were absolutely delicious. The tacos were also really delicious, the veggies are lightly battered and the taco had an almost asian inspired flavor as well. The only complaint I have about the food is that while I was eating my taco I noticed that something tasted off, I looked in it and there was a piece of a fish. I am a vegetarian who occasionally eats fish (like maybe 5 times a year) so luckily it wasn't that I was allergic but I was still deeply upset about the fact that there was fish in there. It seemed careless that that could happen especially considering that someone could be allergic to it. I do realize that this is a fish establishment but someone should be able to order veggie tacos without fear of getting fish in it. The second taco in the order that my husband was eating also had a small piece of fish in it as well.
The second factor for me was the atmosphere/service. We sat at the bar to eat since we weren't ordering much and didn't want to take up a table. The folks who worked there were very loud and didn't seem to care at all about what they talked about in front of the customers. There were several conversations happening that I wish I hadn't heard.
I would like to try eating here again as the flavors were really good but perhaps I will order out and see if I have any more issues with the food.
