What our guests are saying
What a fantastic restaurant with a diverse menu. We sat on the outside deck for lunch, which has been newly redone. It is roomy, and a great spot to watch cars and people go by. We started with the boom boom shrimp, not too spicy but with a great flavor. We then split the BBQ Chicken Pizza - lots of cheese, chicken and garlic, and cooked to perfection. It was really good. The restaurant was very clean, and our server continually checked on us to make sure we were happy. I look forward to trying other items on the menu!

Looking for a nice place to dine in between interviews, I would define this place as a hidden gem with exceptional cuisine. Out of all the mock tails, I would recommend the one that contained Red Bull. I don’t remember the name, but I remember it had red Bull. Additionally, I would say that I can see parking being challenging when it’s busy, but luckily someone was pulling out as we were arriving. Lastly, and more importantly, remember to pause as you go throughout your day and practice being present. You’re most likely going to share a drink or a meal with someone, and I would highly suggest you take this as an opportunity to be present with each other. Make it a great evening y’all!

Absolutely amazing and fabulous restaurant. The food is magnificent. I had the best curry that I have ever had in my life. Salads are fresh and delicious. The dessert they make are freshly made delightfully delicious cannoli. The servers are friendly and fun. The cocktails are top-notch. This is my favorite place in the desert. It’s Number One! The decor and music are also great. I’m ecstatic with their most wonderfully presented dinner. A must place to eat well, for sure.
