DO NOT RECOMMEND 4/10 because I love the decor and concept

Disappointing Experience After Years of Loyalty…read more My husband and I have been regular customers for years and have visited this restaurant several times a month. We have always enjoyed the steaks, seafood, and especially the salad bar. Unfortunately, our last visit was enough for us to decide we won't be returning. For quite some time, the quality of the lettuce on the salad bar has been declining. I'm not talking about a few rusty edges--I'm talking about brown, transparent, wilted lettuce that should never be served to paying customers. Over the last 10 visits, I'd estimate 8 of them had lettuce in unacceptable condition. I've always picked around it and kept quiet. This time, after paying premium prices once again, I politely mentioned that the lettuce was not fresh. I was told multiple times that they were "working on it." Thirty-five minutes later, my husband had finished his entire meal while I was still waiting for fresh lettuce. The salad was my meal. When the lettuce was finally replaced, there was very little fresh lettuce put out. To make matters worse, while I was serving myself, old brown lettuce was dumped onto the area where I was getting my salad, including on my tongs. Whether intentional or not, it felt dismissive and unprofessional. What disappointed me most wasn't just the lettuce--it was the lack of urgency and concern. The waitress could clearly see that I had no meal while I waited, yet the situation dragged on for over half an hour. When you're charging roughly $25 for a salad bar and over $70 for dinner for two, customers should not have to beg for fresh lettuce or wait 35 minutes for a basic ingredient to be replaced. We genuinely loved this restaurant and gave it chance after chance because we wanted to support a local business. Sadly, this experience was the final straw. We won't be back. Fresh food and attentive service shouldn't be too much to expect at these prices.

This is a review of our first dining experience at this restaurant. I'm not a picky person at all…read moreand let many many things slide but I have to tell the story as it unfolded. This experience was a train wreck. Sorry in advance for the novel. We arrived around noon on Sunday September 28th, 2014. The place was quite packed and loud. We were shown to our table in the far end corner of the restaurant. No problem. I'll list out the events of our experience in phases....... The drink orders were taken and we were given menus. The host seemed a bit rushed and not too friendly (no greeting, smile, thank you, etc). He started to leave before I'd finished telling him that I wanted no lemon or sugar in my iced tea. He delivered the drinks promptly. I took a drink of the tea. It definitely had sugar in it although not much. I might mention also that 4 people arrived about 10 minutes after we did, sitting next to us. They were served drinks and their orders taken almost immediately. (Big no-no). The server finally made it to our table (23 minutes after we arrived), again not friendly and quite rushed. We gave her our orders and asked for queso sauce. I let her know that the tea has sugar in it. She looked confused and uttered something. She rushed off with the glass. We figured she'd bring more chips since the basket was empty. When she showed up again 10 minutes later she only had the queso. She brought the tea back and again it had sugar in it! She never returned to our table so when the water guy came around I just ordered a glass of water. No biggie, only the glass smelled like a sour dishrag. I gave up. The food finally arrived (54 minutes after arriving). Looks good. Both the chimi shell and the tortillas on the fish tacos were sticky/soggy, as if they hadn't been cooked quite long enough. I'm not sure but we didn't make a big deal of it. We were done eating in a few minutes and just sat there, waiting, waiting, waiting. No check. Finally we gave up on the check and went to the cashier's desk. Nobody there and no employees to be seen anywhere. There were 4 of us waiting. Finally the man ahead of us went back to kitchen and got someone to come up to the front. It was our long-lost server. She looked frazzled. She didn't have the checks done and was looking at the menu to determine what the prices are. Hmm. We finally got out of there after an hour and 15 minutes. Perhaps it was just an off-day however this wasn't a good experience. Unorganized and unfriendly staff.

As far as Mexican food in Kentucky goes.....not bad. It's not Sonoran style or Tex-mex but more…read moretraditional American Mexican. Salsa was very bland. Tasted more like tomato purée and lime juice than actually salsa. Margaritas were weak on flavor and tequila. The Mexican rice was bland. I had the tacos de asada. Not bad. Needs lime and garlic to be more authentic. Went with family and requested two separate checks from the beginning prior to ordering, and had to have ticket corrected 5 times before things were straight. Servers were scarce at times waiting on drink refills, silverware, or chip and salsa refills.
