We stopped by for a drink and appetizer after work....we sat at the bar and decided to share the spinach dip and then share a steak/chicken combo fajaita.
The spinach dip was fine...the usual, good for munching, but nothing spectacular (I do like theirs better than the commercial competition - I think it's more the chips than the dip!) The fajaita was fine - chicken and steak were fine but they short changed us on the shredded cheese that comes with it. There was plenty of sour cream and guacamole but I'd rather the cheese than the rest! This dish came with rice that was awful! Their rice tasted like coconut which is not my favorite, however, even then the rice was hard and dry. We did mention to the bartender about the rice and shortly thereafter, the manager came over and apologized for the rice and offered a replacement. We were no longer hungry and declined his offer but just let him know that we thought it was important that he was aware of the problem. He made some comment about the rice being steamed so he couldn't see how it would be dry but he did take a few dollars off the bill for the rice.

All in all, it was the usual experience you would expect from Fridays. It's fine for an appetizer or a quick meal during the week. The wine was fine. Pinot Grigio was Ecco Domani, which I like, and my hubby's chardonnay was Toasted Head by request (a little better than their house brand).
