Great atmosphere and very welcoming. The chef and wait staff were awesome and the food was absolutely delicious. Restaurant is more Santa Fe style versus Tex-Mex. Will definitely visit again.

The food was very good, but my wife was disappointed in hers. First, there was no hot and sour soup. Second, the "peanut salad" was not what she expected as the peanuts were ground up. The rest of our party enjoyed the Teriyaki Chicken

This was our first time here. Art was an excellent server. He continued coming to our table in a timely manner making sure all was to our satisfaction. We can't wait to go again. We live in New Braunfels and distance is not an issue . It's worth going here. Prices are just right with excellent food choices. Amazing desserts! Looking forward to next time .

We held a watch party for our San Antonio Brahmas football team here. We had 16 people in attendance. From the moment we walked in the door, the staff from greeters at door to the management were friendly & professional. Our waitress was awesome & timely, food & drinks were really good. We’ll be back!
