  I eat at this restaurant all the time. I love the food and usually love the service. The last time I was there 2 days ago, the service was poor to average. I just went back with my little girls, they told me that the dining room was full unless I had a reservation even though there were tables open. Having been in the restaurant business I understand this, however, when we went to sit in the bar the bartender saw us being seeded and rolled his eyes and made a comment to the waitress as if it was a problem that we were there. Are you kidding me, is this the hospitality industry!? As hungry as I was I left.

  Not recommended... Decided to take my daughter out for a nice dinner. We had reservations for 6p and arrived a few minutes early. After being shown our table, we proceeded to wait 25 minutes without any acknowledgement from any of the servers. There were plenty in the area - just none that decided to come to our table. ;) I then went up to the host stand to see if they could direct one of the servers to our table. Instead, one of the female managers came by to take our drink and appetizer order. By this point, my daughter and I had to log into our phones to check-in for our Southwest flight which was scheduled to depart the next evening (those who are familiar with the Southwest Airlines check in process understand the need for timely check in). As a result of the restaurant’s original delay, we had no choice but to check in while our drinks and appetizers were being delivered. Much to my dissatisfaction, the manager proceeded to then make a snarky comment on how we should move our phones to make room for the food “as our phones are ‘clearly’ very important to us”. IMO, this comment was uncalled for given she had no idea why we were on our phones and after the lack of any service for almost 30 minutes, they had no right or need to pass judgement. For a relatively pricey restaurant that, on the service, takes pride in providing what should be a positive dining experience, they did everything but. Do yourself a favor and pick a different restaurant at Kierland. There are plenty of other great options to choose from.

  My most recent visit was my second, and it was much better than the first. This time, I had the fish tacos. They were loaded with fish and the spicy sauce was delicious. The fried bananas and pudding on the side was a nice surprise that paired well with the flavor of the tacos. I’ll definitely consider ordering the fish tacos again. We also had a side of the coconut fried shrimp, which were fantastic! On my first visit a number of months ago, I had the baby back ribs. They weren’t my favorite ribs, but that may just come down to personal preference. The ribs here are of the “fall off the bone” type, and to me this type tastes overdone. The flavor of the meat got lost, so the primary flavor was that off the BBQ sauce.
