"Chipotle Chicken Burrito was gross. Canned jalapenos that were dried out. Everything on the plate had a film on top and was completely dried out. Like they sat under warmer lights forever. Tea never got refilled. We arrived between 5 and 6 and there were almost no customers. Should have been a red flag as most restaurants in Cedar Rapids are packed at this time. Really disappointing, changed my previous rating from four stars to one. ??"

During my brief overnight stay in Cedar Rapids, I opted to have some Mexican food delivered to my hotel room. The shrimp quesadillas were absolutely delicious, and I also loved the queen... View menu

The restaurant lacks authenticity and is only mediocre at best, but I had several gift certificates to use. Free food is always a plus, no matter where it comes from. The takeout service was quick, and the staff were helpful and friendly.

This restaurant consistently delivers steaming hot dishes along with unlimited chips and salsa. It's an ideal place for families, featuring a children's menu and a variety of adult drinks. The service is always top-notch, with a keen eye for detail.

I dined with a group of ten and we were attended to by a single server. They did an excellent job, taking our orders and reading them back to confirm everything was correct. The food arrived quickly and without any mistakes. I give it a perfect 10/10! View menu

My husband and I were very disappointed. I honestly do not understand how they keep the doors open. It is definitely a huge change since pre-covid. The menu has changed. In my opinion the quality of the food has changed. Staff are friendly andefficient. The lighting has changed, it is dark.

The waitress brought my plate out steaming hot without mentioning that it was hot. When I pointed this out, her response was that she assumed I would have noticed the hot pads. However, I didn't see any hot pads, and I've been to many restaurants where the plates are served sizzling without any warning.

"Went here for a celebration dinner. The seating by the windows was lovely. The server was very helpful answering questions and didn’t rush us. All the appetizers, meat/fish entree’s, and desserts we tried tasted delicious. A bit pricey, but we knew this from looking at their menu online beforehand.Dishes we tried: calamari, caprese bruschetta, focaccia, seafood bake, salmon, and the surf and turf.The appetizers were all tasty and good to share between 4 people. Really loved the crispness of the calamari with the dipping sauce, the caprese bruschetta was my favorite and a plus for it being vegetarian. I liked the spread that came with the focaccia, but the bread itself was a bit bland for me.The seafood bake was light and creamy and served hot out the oven with the right amount of seafood-pasta mix for me. Tasted even better with added parmesan. The pilaf and veggies complemented the salmon well.The desserts we tried were all a decent size for sharing and they all tasted delightful. The salted caramel crème brûlée was so light and creamy, and had enough sweetness with a touch of salt to my liking. Both the blueberry NY style cheesecake and the lemon-raspberry NY style cheesecake tasted so good, not super sweet and the cheese part was just right. I personally preferred the lemon-raspberry topping over the blueberry because of the tangier taste, but they both were great choices.I would recommend adding the dessert menu online for people to see the different options ahead of time. Overall, a great dining experience that I would recommend."
