fast, amazing service, great atmosphere

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Georgetown. We split an order of calamari that was perfectly fried, tender and delicious. The pomodoro sauce added a subtle but necessary accompaniment. Great start!I enjoyed the fork-tender fried pork chop, mashers, green beans and Texas toast. It all tasted just like my granny cooked it, and large portions too.My wife had the meat lover's pizza pie. Once again, it stood out as being one of the best she's had among all the other providers in the area.The free valet parking works well for all the shops and restaurants clustered in this area because it's a little tight to find your own spot. We can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu.

I will still give it 2 stars because we still appreciated the ambiance and our server's attitude. Reasons for this rating:1st - We made reservation for the courtyard table because the live music is there. However, the lady in reception told us the customer outside is staying longer then she said that there were people who were not customers sitting on their table. Ugh! What's the sense of reservation? You can't handle your place well. Then she said we could sit inside instead first and call us when there's available table. When we were eating she went to us and said table is ready, told her maybe we could move after eating and just have a drink outside. Then when we're done she blamed me that there's no available table because we took time to transfer. Really? I got agitated at her a bit then she said oh we will try to get another table. Then we finally got a table then listen to the half song then the live music ended. Great! So No! I will not go there again because of this, the reason we went there was because of the live music and not because of their sports bar.2nd - Although we appreciated our server, our entrée (warm-up) that we ordered wasn't served ?. So when our main dishes came I asked what happened to our entrée dish, he said oh yeah I didn't know what happened do you still want it? Heck no! our food was there already. The purpose of entrée is to eat something while waiting for our main dish eh!3rd - Some dishes were ok , so it's also included on the 2 stars, but the SKEWED CHICKEN AND SHRIMP was horrible! The picture is here, see for yourself. The rice was like 3 tablespoon and full of oil! That's what my daughter ordered because she loved chicken and shrimp and of course rice, but she couldn't eat the rice due to greasiness! For the price of $20 not worth it.I'm hoping that they will change for the better, especially the reservation system and food choices.

Great food & drinks and excellent service

Had an almost immediate sitting out in patio enjoying great foods and drinks with family for dinner. Had a most pleasant, friendly and attentive waiter.

we sat outside and the outdoor area was nice. Waiter was friendly and attentive, I ordered the pizza and my husband the steak & potato tacos, both were pretty mediocre, the guacamole was bland, chips and salsa were good, my prickly pear margarita was pretty good.

It was decent but nothing remarkable. The pork belly queso was very thick and the pork belly had the texture of freeze dried pork. Fairly flavorless which is disappointing since pork belly is typically full of creaminess and flavor. In the end, the pork was unnecessary since you can't really taste it at all. The chips really needed salt. In fact, everything needed salt.The prickly peach cocktail was delicious. The Hurricane Manny was not my favorite thing. It was quite strong and I'm a lightweight so I really felt it. Great if that's what you're looking for. The salad was pretty basic and underwhelming. It didn't seem to have any dressing so I asked for extra on the side. The fish was good. The French fries were alright. It was okay food. The atmosphere was good. The prices were a bit high for what you get though.

An interesting concept that usually performs well. The bar is very small unfortunately, but the tenders are friendly and knowledgeable.Food has been fairly consistent, with an occasional misstep (ex: the onion soup, while very delicious, had the bread simply tossed into the broth and the cheese was one large, unsightly glob). The steak salad is fantastic and the lunch menu, although small, is well thought out and always hits the spot.

I called to set up reservation for lunch for a party of 6. The manager was very nice and friendly. When we arrived the manager and staff were very welcoming. The place was clean and the environment very chill and relaxed. I’ve been here before and it’s been a while however the waitress that served me at that time recognized me and welcomed me back. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu as he provided feedback on our questions about the menu. The wait time for food was about 15 mins which was fast. The waiter checked in us constantly and the manager helped out by making sure our drinks were never empty for long. The food was amazing!!! I will be coming back here really soon and I would recommend this place to anyone.

Loads of TV's to catch the game, great food, and a nice bar set up. Great location in Georgetown with outdoor seating, fireplace and cornhole out front. Love this option exists in Georgetown hope they do well.
