• You can't go wrong with the 8 oz ginger soy Skirt Steak, with grilled Asparagus and garlic mashed for $16.99. The Great Lakes Brewing Christmas Ale was also a winner. Happy Holidays!

  by Jack W.

  
  

• Get the Sante Fe wrap it taste fresh and its delish! If you get chicken it's shredded and blends well with the veggies!

  by Jenny P.

  
  

• I usually like it here. I tried the chopped salad. It was a chopped salad; nothing more nothing less. However, when I'm paying $18.50 for this and a lemonade(no alcohol) it's should be a lot better.

  by Kerry N.

  
  

• Good nachos!! They make them with fried wonton chips. The sauce was surprisingly good, too. Besides the prices and douchy environment, I'd say this place tasty.

  by Kerry N.

• Great spot! The Bloody Mary bar is awesome! I had the Caesar salad and substituted blackened tuna over chicken. Brittany at the bar is amazing!

  by Benjamin B.

  
  

• Overall, the quality of lettuce used is sub-par. Chopped salad is tasty and filling, good flavors - isn't much to look at though. Pass on the house salad, uses the same bland Romaine as the chopped.

  by Kate H.

  by Ryan W.

  
  

• Lovely space with an extensive menu but, unfortunately, the quality of food and service don't live up to the prime location. Under-seasoned burgers and inattentive lunch service.

  by Heather M.

  
  

• The atmosphere is kinda strange and the food I ordered was greasy. This is a good place to watch a game and drink a beer, but eat somewhere else beforehand.

  by Andy B.

  
  

• Good place for lunch and happy hour, gets kinda busy! They won't seat you until the whole party gets there, which kinda sucks.

• Rumor has it that in 1919, Victoria was spread across Mexico by revolutionary troops. For our American launch we’ve decided to use a more conventional form of distribution. That’s how we got here.
