Stared off with a glass of wine and their $1 truffle chips. A nice crunchy start and enjoyed seeing such a simple and cheap menu item on the menu to start. The chips were crispy and nice. For the entree, I ordered the braised short rib. Very tender and had the perfect bark on the outside. Great flavor and overall happy with my meal. Service was friendly and the restaurant was well kept. It was very busy due to a company having their work conference there but a great way to see how the staff handles themselves. A little pricey but not bad in a pinch for a stay in dinner and back to your room meal.

It was fun to see how they've transformed the old Golden Corral on Sherwood - the vibrant redecorations (including the Mardi Gras Christmas-style tree at the entrance) definitely were a new take on the former buffet! The hospitality was top-tier, professional, and genuinely welcoming. As for the cuisine, the flavors were exceptional. My wife might have found her new favorite Mexican go-to based solely on the quality of their queso! I opted for the Asada Chilaquiles Rojos, and I must say, the execution was divine. The steak was tender, and the eggs were prepared to perfection. We are already plotting our return to dive into their taco selection. My only minor critique involves the menu structure: I found myself wishing for a few combination plates. While there are "a la carte" options, I would prefer a curated combo to make things simpler. I want to try all the things!

It wasn't spicy like most salsa that I taste, but it also had a different flavor. I couldn't really put my finger on what the difference was, but it was really good. I ordered the Carne Asada and it was 10 out of 10 for presentation. The dish came steaming, sizzling and smoking as they sat it down and it continued to do so for over a minute. While the steak was cooked properly, medium well as I requested, it was very tough. Maybe it was an angry cow. Regardless, the staff was very attentive. And the service was very fast. Ambience was nice and it felt very comfortable although it was a bit cold so I had to go and get a jacket for my mom and my sister-in-law. I would give them another try the next time I'm in the area.

The decor makes you feel as though you are on the island getaway without leaving home. The bar produces so of the most beautiful drinks and they taste great. My favorites are the lamb chops that are cooked to perfection and the beef oxtails. When it comes to appetizers honey pepper chicken bites and the beef patties always call my name. The chef and and his family are loving and very inviting as if they invited you to their home for a delicious meal. I will return and hope to work my way through trying the entire menu.

Every place had bad days and maybe I just caught them on a bad one but I was highly disappointed. While the better/server was polite, it took a very long time to be greeted and seated and to get food ordered and brought to the table. When it did, everything fried was super salty like a salt block salty. My rice barely had any salt or seasoning and my oxtails weren't very tender and the sauce tasted like out came out of a jar in the store. We were the only ones in there so I just don't know. One day I'll try again but it's gonna take me a minute. I felt like I got food catfished.
