“ It was a decent meal, decent service. Basically one of those places that you know what you're going to get every time. My ribs were surprisingly good, actually. ”
“ Is a great place in Merida and the service is great. They have many different options but the classic here is the Alfredo Pasta with Buffalo chicken, if you like pasta this is a great option. If you like to see sports, there are screens all around so you can see it. Very good place, I totally recommend ”
“ Pricy and delicious food. Good attention and good kids area. I get surprised the last time I was in this place everything was delicious, we order a southern chiken, a pomodoro fettuccine and a corn cream, the price is high but according to the quality and taste of the dishes. The children area has a lot of toys and tablets, it is OK for kids about 2+ years old, nevertheless, the cinema for kids has a screen too big and the kids are too close. ”
“ My wife got the bourbon grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. I had the Cajun fetticini with shrimp and chicken. It was probably the best Alfredo I've ever had. Not really any Cajun seasoning, but it didn't matter it was so delicious. Great service and friendly staff. ”
“ Surprised by the speedy service and quality of the food. There guacamole was delicious tasty with a cold bohemia clara then enjoyed there spicy boneless wings nice Cinco de mayo treat. Flat screens all around cannot miss any sports action they have all major sporting events call to reserve a table. Outstanding wifi my 2nd time here and impressed with the attention. ”
