What we had: (in no particular order because it was a month ago) Mai Kinda Tai, Ultimate Pepper Mary, Ultimate Mazatlan Martini, Tropic Storm (drinks), fried cheese appetizer, prosciutto flatbread appetizer, chicken citrus salad, honey chicken brie sandwich, frisco cheeseburger, small fish & chips (my entree), lemon amaretto brulee, cinnamon caramel flan, red velvet cupcake (my dessert).

I don't like cutting these reviews short but since I've procrastinated for so long, I can't remember too many details of the meal. With that, I do recall my fish & chips being good if not great--the batter was a bit greasy and thicker than usual. My dessert, the red velvet cupcake, was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their drinks, entrees and desserts to the best of my memory.

Service: Not exactly prompt but the place was very busy. We eventually got everything we'd ordered. Drink refills were reasonably prompt. Servers were very friendly.

Would we go back: Unlikely to this particular location as it was a mid-point meetup, but likely to one or another of the chain's locations.
