| - Went here for happy hour with a group from husband's work. They reserved some tables on the side patio. When we first arrived, the hostess informed us it was their policy to not seat anyone until 12 guests in the party arrived. Kinda strange! The place was busy and I assume they don't want to waste large tables for small group in case people don't show up.
We had a drink at the bar while waiting for our group. It was quite loud. Yes, it's a bar, it's going to be loud... I get it. But even so, it was just a notch or two over acceptable level of loud lol
Our group arrived so we moved to the "quieter" side patio, near the ping pong tables. Our server was good, attentive enough. He warned us when happy hour was ending. Brought chilled glasses for the beer.
We ordered a few of "small bites" before dinner. No false advertising there - definitely small enough for one. The pretzel and cheese was good, and so was the hummus.
I ordered the Green Chili pulled pork and swapped the bun for corn tortillas. When the dish arrived it was buried underneath a mound of rice. I ended scraping all of that rice on to the serving plate. There had to be at least a cup and half of rice- maybe more. The food was okay. Definitely disappointed in a $15 entree that was mostly rice! My husband had the blackened salmon, more rice on his plate as well. I had a bite of his salmon, and it was also underwhelming. The accompanying sauce tasted like warmed over, thinned out sweetened condensed milk.
Others in the group had the brisket Mac and cheese that looked good, shrimp tacos and a burger. I couldn't tell if there was a giant mound of rice on that shrimp taco plate.
I should mention that their cocktails weren't bad. Hubby likes his Old Fashioned and I had a Cue the Lime.
If you come for drinks only it isn't bad. But don't waste your money on $15 plates of rice for dinner.
