    Fantastic meal with fabulous service. We had a few guests who had never been there before and our server, Lauren, made sure to explain the menu and offer terrific recommendations. Everything was delicious, the setting was lovely without being loud and all of the staff were welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

    From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the nicest hostess. You can tell she loved her job because she was SO nice to everyone, we heard her saying bye to all the customers as they were leaving. This was a first for us, and we loved the experience. The food was really good and we will definitely be back again, when visiting the area. My husband enjoyed it so much, he said it was great for his A.D.D. 😆. Our kids would enjoy it too so can’t wait to bring them next time.

    We go to the downtown location every week. We always get great food. Order the TORO BEEF; it's very tasty! The food is consistently good. The service is always the best. The atmosphere is very casual and upbeat. The best part is that you also get to collect points with their APP and get free food. I highly recommend a visit!

    Very helpful waitress clarifying the process and the size of servings. Very interesting alternatives - we tried many and were pleased with them all. A great way to have a relaxed dining experience - you control how quickly you BBQ the meat courses. A fun, interesting evening that presented a number of unique taste experiences!

    We ordered the meat lover’s combo and upgraded to short rib. The short rib was good but other meat platters came marinated, they were a bit too salty. The meat on one of the dish was cut too small and they fell through the holes of the bbq plate when cooked.
