    Located at the corner of Mesquite Street and Front St, you'll have to look for parking along Front St; there's a few places in the rear. Plenty of seating inside and out; bright lighting, simple decor with polished concrete floors. Ingrid was our server; she was friendly and efficient; anticipating our needs. All of the staff seemed happy to be there. The chips were crispy and perfectly seasoned! The salsa was tasty; not too spicy. We split the appetizer sampler, which was plenty for two people. Everything was tasty and hot. Glad to see they had a lunch menu; we'll have to come back.

    New spot in Arlington, however I was not impressed with the entrees we ordered. Nothing was very flavorful. Chips and salsa were okay. Very friendly and attentive staff. Nice decor as well as patio area. Maybe I will try again later.

    Excellent skinny margarita, good happy hour specials, the tacos de papas were surprising and tasty. I'm happy to see a tex mex spot move in to front street, so far I'm impressed with them.

    Fish taco with minimal fish. Also poorly seasoned

    Environment and location were good. Menu had options that all looked good. Fish tacos had little fish, which I could over look and it had any seasoning or even a salsa on it. Same with the shrimp tacos. Shrimp and slaw had no seasoning. Unfortunately this place is gonna need to do a lot better in the kitchen to stick around. Not hating, but hope this getting seen by someone who can make a change in the store so it last.

    Appetizing bites!

    Got the last table for brunch. Our rez through Open Table got lost in the ether but they honored…read moreit. The restaurant is in an old, lovely Victorian house that includes a boutique hotel and spa. Small dining rooms and a large outdoor patio for dining. Started with two specialty cocktail, both large but not overly strong. Began with salads. Both the beet salad and the burrata salads were tasty and large. Salmon Benedict was two pieces of filet on oversized English muffin, well prepared with side of potatoes. Crabcake Benedict was served sans muffin. Same side of potatoes. Dessert was a slice of lemoncello cake and coffee. Cake was terrific, very subtle flavors. Great place for celebratory meal.

The menu had brunch and lunch options and everything sounded so good it was hard to choose. We ended up sharing the burrata salad with grilled peaches and they split it onto two plates for us. It was SO good! We both got the salmon Benedict and I loved mine. The salmon was cooked perfectly as was the egg and the hollandaise was delish. The potatoes were typical breakfast potatoes but they were good. For my birthday they let me choose any dessert and the limoncello cake was absolutely perfect. Lemony and tart with creamy frosting, I would go back just for that!! I definitely recommend this place for brunch!

    Saturday lunch around 11:30am, not a line but they did get a bit busier. I've been here a few times…read more& I'm surprised it wasn't as busy for a weekend. It's really just great food, nothing fancy but delicious. I had the lobster roll, I came with coleslaw & fries. I'm not a coleslaw person but it was pretty good. The fries were perfect & they have that good ranch. The lobster roll itself was on Texas toast, buttery toasted goodness with meaty lobster. I'm definitely going to have to go back for this sometime soon, it was $20 for my meal. My friend had chicken strips, no complaints there & we shared a basket of fried pickles. Clean restaurant, fast service, tasty food, & friendly staff. Prices are fair, no concerns with menu options for everyone. Fun, chill place with a lot of fishing decor & photos. There's a reason why this place has been here for so long, great lunch stop!

    Came on a Tuesday afternoon and had the special Caddo (tilapia and shrimp over rice with a creamy…read moresauce). It was pretty good and I was surprised at how thick the tilapia was. Shrimp on top was a little chewy, but acceptable. DH had the shrimp po boy and it really could have used four or five more shrimp. More bread than anything. I tasted his fries and they seemed to have been fried in old oil. I love hush puppies, but could only eat a small bite of the one I tried. Again, old frying oil that soaked the entire hush puppies. There are fish photos all over the walls, which are kind of fun to look at. Will be back because we have friends that like their Tuesday special, but overall the food is just OK.
