bretta grimaldi: great quick bite!
Stefanie Friedman: Don't waste your money on a margarita here. They are small, about $7 and taste like crap. I'd avoid the wine too...I was ok with the beer. Food is decent and it's good for a quick bite.
Mad Sar: If you don't mind the rude, eye-rolling, jerk-like, impertinent staff, and are looking for a quick bite, the place might be for you.
