“Im sorry but this place is mot a restaurant. Food its serve really nice and the pictures on google lie the food does not have any flavor it taste bad and is really expensive. We had three separate tap one was for 180, 100, and mine was 90 for a kids meal, 45dollar rebeye and pina colada not worth it. The shrimp cocktail was really but tastes like ketchup not like the picture online. Place looks more like a night...”
“Waitress was so kind and very pretty! I’m not a huge fan of nightlife but it was cool. The food was way better than actual seafood places around here (SpaceFish..) and all that to say they have the best ceviche in Brownsville! Compliments to the chef :)!”

“Well it was good and all. Sadly cook didn't show up so full menu wasnt available. The tacos were good. Specials and service was nice. Place was clean. Restroom was decent. Hard to say without full menu. Have to comeback and see how it really is but this visit was ok. Place empty but was a Wednesday. Supposedly live band but till 12.”
“The drinks were very good. My wife ordered oysters and they were not good. They tasted old and were incredibly fishy. I ordered a shrimp cocktail what was very good but my main dish that included shrimp was not that good as well. But the service was fantastic and that's why I tip well. The kitchen should always watch for a freshness in there food.”
