Much better than I had imagined, the setting was stunning, surrounded by the red mountains. Food service was professional and friendly 😋 plus the pizza 🍕 tasted great. The one caution is Saturday night appears to be 'kids' night... great if you are on a family night out. 🤔

Overall, great spot to relax, get some food, and enjoy a nice cool drink. Also, there is a big open grass area is great for families with kids who may want to run around and play.

Unfortunately, the past few times we’ve been here, service has been a miss. In general still better than a lot of places but if we have to ask for water multiple times and never got a refill before we ended up leaving, I can’t in good conscience give 5-stars.

Most recently, we tried a mix of things from the menu and all were pretty good! The Mac N Cheese with green chili was a favorite but beware that there is a little kick to it. We like that but know some may not. Nachos are great! For dessert, I always enjoy the Pizza Cookie dish 😋

Most of the food was absolutely amazing.
I probably will not order the shrimp cerviche
Brussels sprouts were perfect.
I am picky on how my salmon is prepared.
They nailed  it.
Probably will return tonight to see if it still the same.
Great atmosphere. Not crowded
My server was awesome
She checked on me just enough.  Some have a tendency of doing too much, some not enough.  She timed everything perfectly.

I need to try "The Mule" again.
I like the touch of tiny marshmallows

December 2024 recent visit... They are still on their game with food and drink, bartender and server both very nice and quick service, nice fenced in grass area for kids to run and play, what a great patio with such a view

December 2022 visit, service was right on point, drinks were also exactly right on point, the food it seemed they have upped the game, with the recent visit have to raise these guys to 5 stars as needed!!!

Brand new bar/restaurant & patio so that was very nice... Service was good but the drinks were just decent for the price, food was good but just not great.... Great view on the patio though to say the least so management can work out a couple little issues that's in their control and this spot would be worth 5 stars easily
