We had an amazing meal at Mission Wine and Dine. Everyone enjoyed their food and Do, our server was highly engaged and very personable. The atmosphere was laid back and the window seat overlooking Rte 66 made for an enjoyable evening.

There ware 4 in our party and we all loved our meals. We began with short rib and pork belly scewers and steak tar tar. For the main courses we ordered scallops, short rib pasta and the chicken. All entrees had a great presentation and were delicious. We ended the evening with drinks on the patio under the heat lamps and took in the beautiful city lights view.. The service was outstanding and the evening overall did not disappoint. We recommend level 5 for a fabulous dining experience.

Best in the city. If.you have to wait do it. It’s well worth it. They don’t list the sopapillas on the menu. I guess they figure everyone knows. I figured from the honey. Best I’ve ever had.

Went for a pre-theatre dinner, forgot to show my ticket for a discount, but still took advantage of happy hour and sat in the bar's lounge area. Interesting drinks, excellent service, and delicious food. The fried artichoke is a must! My server understood my beverage choices and made excellent recommendations.

Really cool experience. I come from a larger city and have been looking for this sort of an environment for a long time. The location is perfect for me. The act was amazing and it felt a little like Home.

Food was very delicious. Everything on the menu is very delicious. Prices are fair. They have a full bar of tequila which you have to make sure you pick the right one because I had a margarita last night and it was $30 just because of the tequila overall I give it a attend.
