I checked their website ahead of time and they had it on their menu, served iced or hot. I get there and the lady tells me it's only served cold and then just assumed I wanted espresso, thankfully she asked if I wanted extra before making it so that I could correct her. Then she makes it with ice?? Which I have to tell her absolutely not, especially considering I already said that o wanted it hot? She then handed me the remade drink saying, "hope you have a better day" as I go to leave... when the poor experience was the only negative thing to happen to me today. The taste of the chai and the overall setup of the place saved this from being a one star review. (Visit: 7/11/26 at 4pm)

We stayed for one round of drinks and left as we felt totally unwelcome due to this guys actions. Great place, but how do you run a business with rude staff like that. Also, two signature drinks, two glasses of wine shouldn't cost over $100.

Let me start by saying that I wanted to leave a good review, but it's just not happening. First…read morewhen you walk in, instead of a warm welcome, you get glared at by the little girl who is the hostess. After you order your food, which the plates around us looked good, I was sadly disappointed by the burger I ordered. Husband ordered the chicken sandwich, his was great. Nice large portion. But not my meal. It was a massive patty on a tiny bun. There was no ketchup, mustard, mayo, salt, pepper, or sweetner, at the table. And while we were still getting glared at by the teenybopper by the door, I cut into the burger to see the bottom of the bun already soggy. Something that was already a turn off. When I pulled the two halves apart, it was a little hard to tell as the room is very dark, but you could see raw meat. I ordered the patty medium, so there should be very little pink or red. I used a fork to take it apart and the meat was beyond rare; it was pretty close to mooing. Our waitress, a little more friendly that the glaring teenybopper, said raw really, then ushered the plate off, came back a few minutes later to tell me they threw another patty on the grill. Let me just say at this point, I'm done. I will not eat another bite of food when I see that. I don't care if the patty comes out a hocky puck, not touching it. The waitress was like oh, okay, can I get you anything else. Hubby said the bill, wolfed down his sandwich, and we left, still getting glared at by the little girl. I was told this was a nice spot to have a good dinner, but even the table next to us had a problem with their order, the cook cooked the wrong food. I want to support local, but at this point, I would have been better off going to Whataburger or even McDonalds. Not sure what the deal is with the hostess, but learn how to host before you become the greeter, the first face we see. As for the food, I don't even know where to start.

They kept the nautical theme throughout the restaurant, which you really notice from the bar area where I sat. Service was friendly and very attentive even on a slow Sunday although though I'm guessing this location might be more of a dinner spot. There's plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs, which makes it a good option for larger groups. As for the food I went with the Connecticut-style lobster roll since it was a warm afternoon, but the menu offers a solid variety of seafood and non-seafood options along with some delicious desserts like the key lime pie which I also got to try. Prices are definitely on the higher side as expected with quality seafood, but I had a coupon that helped offset the cost. I can't say I'd come here regularly because of the price point, but if I'm in the area and craving seafood this would easily be my go-to place.

Three of us had arrived earlier and ordered already and our server came by to greet us two and take our drink order right away if we were ready. We were not so she gave us some time and came back. Throughout the night, she checked on us. At the end of the night, she offered to split all our checks and remembered everyone's orders and how to to accurately split the drinks. Each lady paid for an appetizer. The appetizers were all very good though I would say there are limited gluten free options. The girls shared the Tempura Cauliflower. It looked really good and apparently was also delicious but unfortunately not gluten free. The Charcuterie Board with cheese, salami, pepperoni, and smoked salmon was yummy, as were the brussel sprouts and chicken kabobs. The server said the marinade was not gluten free but I decided to eat it anyways. The chicken was juicy and seasoned well. I really liked the brussel sprouts too. The Dirty Martinis and Paper Plane were great. My friend had the Cucumber cocktail but opted for soda water instead of Sprite and she said it was really good. It looked pretty. The restaurant offers a nice vibe for hanging out and has a great selection of cocktails, wines, and food. I didn't get a chance to try an entree but I'm sure they are good. We had the best server so I'd say this place is a winner.

Adorned with carefully curated cacti, earthen textures, and playful string lights, the dog-friendly patio implores visitors to come on in and stay a while. The spirited hum of live music drifts in and out of animated conversations between friends, all while beverages slowly dwindle. Naturally, I couldn't leave without trying a cocktail (or two). While the tasting flight gave me a deep appreciation for the spirit on its own, I found that sotol truly sings in cocktails, where its earthy elegance can mingle and unfold alongside bright, bold flavors. The on-site bar offered a handful of inventive, locally-rooted options, but one drink in particular bloomed on the palate like a cactus flower after rare desert rain: a Prickly Pear Margarita. Vibrant, jewel-toned, and ever so slightly wild, it balanced sotol's herbal backbone with a sweet-tart burst of prickly pear and just enough lime to make the whole thing sparkle. It's grounding and uplifting all at once, much like the distillery itself

We also got the caviar service, and I really enjoyed that. Was not crazy about the blinis, I believe they were made with black corn flour. The crème fraîche was very nice. Very nice night out.

We had clients with us who were big Longhorn fans. That kind of behavior is downright disrespectful. For what they charge, this level of service and attitude is unacceptable.
