John S.'s Profile

Great for just drinks, better for food & drinks.  On a recent visit, 4 gents were huddled around another who was acting out a soccer play.  After the victory dance, another shouts "Armstrong World Cup!"**...  the celebrating ensues.  You're not going to find atmosphere like than that at many places ;)

The steak sandwich, shepherd's pie and curry fries are all killer.  Get it to go as well.

**With a little research I found that this was the 1982 goal by Gerry Armstrong that clinched a 1-0 victory over host Spain in the World Cup.  Celebrating a goal from 26 years ago -- awesome!

Let's put a family angle on this one.  This is the place for parents to take their kids and get a great margarita.  The staff caters amazingly to families.  If you're like me, you'll take your kids out to eat early which means you get to take advantage of a great happy hour - 1/2 price rita pitchers.  Also, you can pretty much assume that you'll not be the only family there.  For those without kids, they do a decent job of sitting like parties together -- so you'll not be exposed to my child's occasional outburst ;)  They play great music as well.

To accompany your margarita; I'd recommend the skirts en-fuego or the chicken tacos.  Churros are great for desert too... that is if you don't fill up on the chips & salsa (3 kinds @ the table; pico, chipolte, verde).

To sum it up.  Great margaritas, relaxing dinner setting for families, good kids menu.
