 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Going bold. Being brave. Stepping out of the comfort zone. Ordered the chicken salad croissant which was accompanied by the house salad and soup. I know, chicken salad is out of one’s comfort zone? yep (no judgement, please). Well, I am high steppin’ OMG! I have always seen/heard about grapes in chicken salad but just couldn’t get past it. Love grapes. Love chicken salad. Now I love them together. The soup! Another OMG. House salad! Absolutely phenomenal. The staff: TOP NOTCH! The view…if you can look up from your plate long enough, it’s beautiful. So try to take it all in. Enjoy the chatter. Enjoy the food. Just sit back, breathe deep and enjoy. You won’t be disappointed. Oh, well, then there’s what my better half had. Turkey wrap with avocado….YUM! Jalapeño Cole slaw, divine. Oh the fries, are wickedly good, too. Had those the first time with a burger.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend this place for an intimate, cozy, relaxing dinner. The vibe is more like a fast food restaurant than anything else. Far too bright, noisy, kids running around, no dress code, etc. That said, our meals were very good, the waiter was friendly and the staff were very personable. But, again, many better choices in town for fine dining.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started with salsa and guacamole which was quite good. The salsa is warm and I liked it.
I had the fish and chips for my meal. The sidewinders were probably the best ones I've ever had. The fish was good too and the slaw was yummy. I had the blood orange margarita and it was delicious.
