"This place is close and every time I'm in here almost empty. It's good, drinks, food and prices. Its really big and open inside and they have a smaller banquet style room on the side that can accommodate private parties, a stage, tons of television, two bars and tons of attentive staff. Your chicken tortilla soup is top-notch, I order it with my meal almost every time I go here. I honestly don't know why they're not busy all the time, maybe I just met them in not top hours, but regardless of that they're good and I enjoy a quiet meal. I had dinner here tonight (my husband and I usually visit 2-3×'s a month) and we had a wonderful young lady named Violeta who waited for us and she deserves special mention. She was attentive, sweet, pretty and so polite, please for her!"

"Food good. Location good. Service good. BUT, the hidden charges REALLY ruined an otherwise nice experience. Example: HH menu lists Martinis as a $3 upcharge to the $7 base charge. Fair enough. Bombay is a listed alcohol; requested. When the bill was returned I was charged for a Bombay Sapphire which is not on the HH list. Charge? $11 $3. I asked for Bombay, not Bombay Sapphire. Waiter: Oh, let me look into that. AND, by the way Blue Cheese olives? Extra $1. REALLY? I 've NEVER paid extra for BC olives ANYWHERE. AND the confusing menus that a dish as including an extra sauce, [and I don 't recall the exact language but it made it seem that an additional items could be selected as well. Oops, there goes an extra $10.95. AND, the waiter recommending a twice-baked potato. Bah, boom, another $5.95. [which in fairness is disclosed on the menu in a different location, but waiter made it sound as if it was a no-charge option on the surf and turf. AND the split plate charge which I don 't think was disclosed on the menu. Ding, ding, extra $3.00. Was this a waiter, who was overly up-selling or restaurant deception? Don 't know. As I said, the food WAS good. AND, the ambience [at least in the bar area, stay away of the hotel-ballroom-like main dining area was nice. Just beware the nickel and dime charges that the waiter won 't be disclosing to you."
