"Loved the previous version of the restaurant, Sunset Cafe; however, the new owners appear to be in over their head(s). The restaurant seems to be searching for an identity, as it still touts the Southwest cuisine that underpinned its predecessor, yet it features the logo of a beef cattle, and it has an expanded menu that is more random than interesting and eclectic. I tried an old favorite Sausage Quesadilla and found this take to be lacking (e.g., sliced sausage instead of ground sausage), and the presentation was cheap: gone was the well presented shredded lettuce, diced tomato (as I remember) and sour cream, to be replaced by a plastic cup of unremarkable salsa with some sour cream. The atmosphere feels decidedly cheap the inviting atmosphere of the Sunset Cafe has been replaced by a fairly sterile setting of cheap, plastic table covers; Cajun background music was replaced by overly loud rock music more befitting of a bar; ceiling tiles that were broken or not placed in the grid properly; and menus apparently printed on a home computer that featured numerous typographical and grammatical errors (e.g., dessert is spelled both correctly and incorrectly on the same page). While visiting on the second Friday they were open, the beer taps had failed, and I was informed that my choice of bottled beer was out of stock. Granted, failures happen, but it doesn 't appear that the restaurant was in a position to compensate with additional stock of beverages going into the weekend rush. One improvement over its predecessor is the attentiveness of the wait staff; however, on opening night, the waitress could not explain some of the new dishes on the menu (yet an earlier post on Facebook touted the review of the menu with the wait staff). I do hope it succeeds, as this restaurant can continue to be a good addition to the village. I hope that they will use these reviews as constructive criticism and make the changes needed to be successful."
