Sister's Review:

CATHY I was wondering where this restaurant was located. It is in the old State Theater building. The old theater still has the ticket window. The halls are decorated with lights to add atmosphere. Signs are everywhere pointing the way. It is located on the 2nd floor but there is an elevator, so that is nice. Outdoor seating if you want but it was raining so we decided to stay in.  

It was not busy so we had the place to ourselves!  The music makes the mood fun and the restaurant is decorated nicely. The waitress was attentive and took my joking very well.  

We ordered samples of the sangria flavors. I preferred the pineapple flavor.  

Food came quickly and warm. I had the pork taco. The serving is small but the flavor is very good!  I enjoyed it. The taco shell was a little too tough and greasy for me. 

I asked the waitress if we need to make reservations for lunch on weekdays and she said not Mon-Thurs because their busy time is for dinner and weekends. If you want to secure your table, you should probably make a reservation though.  

Overall, I enjoyed it. The prices are reasonable. Interesting place to have a meal.​

Rhonda  I had the Strawberry Salad.  It was made with arugula and spinach and had some crumbled cheese as well which was not in the description.  It was a mild cheese.   It had lots of cut strawberries more than any salad I have ever had.  The salad came with a strawberry cream dressing.  It was pink in color and on the thick side.  The taste was a little tangy, mild not overpowering.  All in all, I thought the serving size was great and the flavor delicious. 

Kelly The sangria is was I was looking forward to trying. We ordered a sample of four. The flavors were Lavendar Lemonade, Pineapple, Cherry Red Wine, and Strawberry. My favorite was the pineapple. The others weren't as flavorful as I had hoped. I ordered the Caribbean Wrap which featured Jerk chicken, lettuce, pineapple mango salsa, and black beans wrap. I did have a bit of a bite but was not overpowering. It was served with a delicious spring side salad with mixed greens, apples, and cheese. The serving size was just right for lunch. I'd order this dish again.

We decided we would try a couple of desserts and ordered the Tres Leche cake and the Cheese and Guava Empanada. The Tres Leche cake was sweet, moist, and spongy just like it should be. The empanada was a delicious surprise. The guava gave it the sweetness it needed because the cheese didn't have that much flavor and was a bit tough, assuming because it was deep-fried. The crust was crispy and flaky. 

Star rating: ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ out of 5 - We gave the restaurant 4 stars because we weren't all 100% pleased with the food. But that being said, we would give it another try because we loved the atmosphere and the staff was superb. If you live in the area, we recommend trying The Sangria Bowl out for a change.

Cathy made this cute video, check it out!

• Our rating system is 1 - 5 stars.

• 1 ⭐ = Poor. There’s nothing good about the restaurant. We won't be returning.
• 2 ⭐ ⭐ = Okay. The restaurant has one or two good qualities. It might be a delicious dish, helpful staff, or an inviting atmosphere. Still, you have no interest in visiting again.
• 3 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ = Good. A fine example of a specific kind of restaurant. It can be delicious food with excellent service. We may think about returning if we wish to have that particular cuisine.
• 4 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ = Excellent. Delicious food, appealing atmosphere, helpful staff, and brilliant service.
• 5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ = Extraordinary. Meets an elite standard by which you judge all other restaurants. The staff is always ready to help, the premises are extremely clean, the atmosphere is lovely, and the food is both delicious and beautifully presented.
